Grading Department - Labelling Operator
Purpose of the Role
The Labelling Operator is responsible for creating, preparing, printing and checking accurate labels for cards graded by Ace Grading.
Working within established departmental standards, the role ensures every label accurately reflects the graded card, its certification details and associated product information before progressing through production.
Success requires exceptional attention to detail, strong computer literacy and the ability to work accurately within established processes, managing both routine production work and more complex submissions requiring research and problem-solving.
The role focuses on producing accurate, consistent labels using established departmental standards. It does not involve creating artwork or illustrations, as these responsibilities sit within Ace Grading's dedicated Art team.
