What makes customers pick up products from the shelves and buy them? Apart from the product itself and the price, it’s often the packaging that catches their attention. 

As Artwork Coordinator at Action Hong Kong, you play a key role in ensuring that the packaging of hundreds of products each year stands out across our stores in Europe. You coordinate the artwork development process for our private label and directly sourced products, ensuring packaging is clear, compliant and commercially impactful.

Working closely with teams across Europe and Asia, you act as the linking pin between our Far-East sourcing partners and our Private Label & Packaging team in the Netherlands, helping suppliers and partners deliver high-quality artwork inputs and packaging solutions that strengthen our brand and support our rapid growth.

This is your daily action

In this role, you own and coordinate the end-to-end packaging artwork process for directly sourced and private label products. From validated inputs through to final print-proof approval. At the same time, you play a leading role in improving supplier capabilities and ensuring artwork projects move efficiently from concept to production.

• Planning and orchestrating timelines, capacity with agencies and partners to ensure projects are delivered on time.

• Creating and coordinating clear and commercially strong briefings for external design agencies and suppliers, ensuring USPs, legal claims, technical specifications and translations are accurate and ready for execution.

Process Improvement:

• Leading supplier capability and first time-right performance, setting expectations, coaching vendors and providing structured feedback to improve input quality and reduce rework.

• Lead continuous improvement initiatives (SOPs, templates, tooling) to compress cycle time and improve quality at source.

• Driving continuous improvement initiatives such as templates, SOPs and tooling to simplify processes and reduce artwork cycle time.
