**About Claro Print**
Claro Print is a fast-growing print and branded merch company helping companies deliver _unforgettable_ employee and customer experiences. From onboarding swag packs to print kits for global events, we make branded logistics effortless.

We’re the team behind the scenes pulling off the kind of projects that make clients look like heroes - and we need someone who can handle the pace, the pressure, and the pride of seeing great work go out the door on time, every time.

**Job Purpose**
You’ll be the operational engine behind our biggest projects - processing orders, chasing suppliers, reviewing artwork, checking samples, and keeping every job running on rails. This isn’t just logistics - it’s about ensuring every detail is spot-on before that branded merch lands in someone’s hands.

You’ll also work heavily with artwork - checking visuals, flagging errors, handling amends, and occasionally tweaking designs in Adobe Illustrator or InDesign.

**Main Duties & Responsibilities**
- Raise and send purchase orders with clear briefs to suppliers
- Review and approve artwork proofs before production (including branding position, colour, file setup)
- Collaborate with the design team and suppliers to correct or adjust artwork files
- Manage courier bookings and logistics for on-time delivery
- Track live jobs across all categories (print, promo, garments, signage)
- Check incoming stock and carry out visual quality control
- Flag any issues early and manage resolutions quickly and calmly
- Keep job management systems updated with real-time info
- Support internal process improvement and project-based tasks
- Handle last-minute challenges and tight turnarounds like a pro

**Key Skills and Requirements**
- **Detail Obsessed** - You spot errors others miss
- **Artwork Literate** - You understand file types, Pantones, print specs
- **Adobe Competent** - Confident in Illustrator/InDesign for basic edits and mockups
- **Solution-Led** - You bring answers, not problems
- **Organised** - Able to juggle 30+ live orders at once
- **Cool Under Pressure** - You won’t flap when a delivery van’s stuck in traffic
- **Experience in Print/Merch/Production** - Strongly preferred

**Why Join Claro Print?**

- High-trust, high-accountability culture
- No two days the same - constant variety and creative thinking required
- Clear progression into buying, logistics, or project lead roles

**Career Growth**
This role is a launchpad. Whether you want to go deeper into operations, shift towards procurement, or become the go-to person for high-profile fulfilment jobs - you’ll have the support and structure to get there.

**Benefits**
- 38 Days Holiday (Including Bank Holidays)
