• Project Management: Manage multiple projects simultaneously, ensuring deadlines are met and clients are updated on project progress. Coordinate with cross-functional teams to streamline the production process.
• Quality Assurance: Conduct thorough quality checks on artwork files to guarantee accuracy, consistency, and adherence to production standards. Address and rectify any issues that may arise during the production process. 
• Internal Graphic Design Support: Assist internal teams with graphic design projects when needed, contributing to the development of marketing materials, presentations, and digital assets including social media, digital ads and more.
