If you’re the person who spots the typo on the menu, the shampoo bottle and the movie poster — and it quietly drives you crazy — read on.
A leading international beauty and personal care brand is looking for a Proofreader to be the last set of eyes before their packaging goes to print. Every label, every ingredient list, every “apply to damp hair” — it passes through you first.
What you’ll actually be doing
Proofreading and editing copy for product packaging and labels: product descriptions, usage directions, ingredient lists, barcodes and compliance details
Reviewing print proofs and artwork, marking up changes in Word and Adobe Reader, and sending them back to the design team round after round
Keeping the brand voice consistent across product lines and markets
Reviewing translations against the English source
Maintaining department data in the ERP system
Native-level English, written and spoken — this one’s non-negotiable
2+ years of text editing experience, in-house at a brand (beauty or consumer goods) or at an agency
Confidence with markup and tracking tools in Word and Adobe Reader, and solid Excel
Packaging experience — a real advantage
Familiarity with cosmetic ingredient lists (INCI) — nice to have
Extra languages — always welcome
