Middleweight Creative Artworker - 10 Month Fixed Term Contract (Maternity Cover)
Are you an experienced, unflappable and detail-obsessed Creative Artworker? (You know who you are.)
We're looking for a talented Middleweight Creative Artworker to join Red Central on a 10 month maternity cover contract. If you love popular culture, thrive on precision, and relish the opportunity to work with some of the world's biggest entertainment brands, we'd love to hear from you.
You're the kind of person who spots the 0.1mm shift, the rogue font, or the colour profile that's about to cause chaos before anyone else does. You take pride in producing technically flawless artwork and ensuring every file is ready for production.
Overview
Start Date: Immediate
Contract: 10 month fixed term maternity cover
Salary: Competitive, matched to experience
Location: Bath (beautiful studio between Bath and Bristol with free parking)

- Managing versioning, localisation and artwork updates where required
- Ensuring all artwork is accurate, compliant and delivered to specification
You'll be confident interpreting brand guidelines, licensing style guides, retailer specifications and legal requirements, ensuring every asset is consistent, technically correct and production-ready.
A key part of the role will involve collating, checking and preparing complex design files for real-world application, including print production and reproduction onto garments and consumer products. Working closely with client guidelines, you'll ensure work leaves the studio accurately prepared and ready for manufacture or publication.
