Assistant Design Project Manager
TonyG is a creative production house specialising in the fulfilment of production challenges from a selection of interesting and prestigious agencies.
In-house products range from joinery to signage and large format print, laser-cut acrylics and vinyls as well as digital work, design, concept and illustration. We've also cultivated a network of supportive suppliers over the years to out-source our metal work and illumination, anything out of the ordinary and beyond our physical capabilities under our own roof.
Our Project Team is made up of talented creative thinkers, using their design perspective for problem solving and solution finding in all sorts of ways. They also work on budgeting, client liaising, relationship building, organising logistics and occasional prop sourcing. These tasks are the slices of bread in the design sandwich: the stuff at the beginning where we get curious and ask all the right questions, and the stuff at the end where we make sure the project is delivered, well received, safely and beautifully done.
The role we're recruiting for is Assistant Design Project Manager, embedded right in the hear of the Project Team. You'll have a huge variety of challenges and tasks, working on layouts and customers' designs for digital use, but also for large format print and graphics, meaning you'll be creating and overseeing work through the print and finishing department.
This is a training role where we're expecting to support you particularly in developing your production language and capabilities over the longer term. We've been told by many that we're a great place to grow experience and you'll have access to tonnes of knowledge, mentors, processes and machinery.
What we're looking for are the qualities that don't always show up on a CV: a thirst for learning and the willingness to roll up your sleeves and have a go at a new process. We get on well with experimenters and people driven by pride, as well as design. If you appreciate variety, autonomy and flexibility (and maybe also music, laughing and dogs), you might like us too. You'll need to be systematic and literate and not mind a bit of organisation and admin, especially at the outset.
Its a 100% office based role in a small village 10 miles from Banbury to the south and Leamington Spa to the north. Our basic requirement is a high standard and competency in Adobe Suite, demonstrable aptitude for great layouts and visuals, accuracy and care. All the rest we'll expect to learn about you if we meet.
There is a great opportunity here for progression within the business and to really become involved with our direction and development. As such, we are keen to meet with people with great energy that we can invest in.
We are a very service-led production company known for our supportive and intuitive approach. We want to talk to you if you think you can create honest, professional relationships, understand our customers' goals and help us exceed their expectations.
Other essential qualities and skills include:
- Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop intermediate level or high
- Demonstrable organisation skills
- Demonstrable communication skills
- Driving licence and use of a vehicle
A little about us:
TonyG is a nurturing company with a lively (and lovely) working atmosphere. Despite taking our work very seriously we laugh a lot, play music throughout the building and there's always at least one office dog to pat.
Working ethically and sustainably is not simply a fashionable thing we say. We involve ourselves with education, offer work experience and mentoring to students, are launching projects that reduce commercial waste, and genuinely think business has the potential to change things for the better.
If we sound like a company you want to be involved with and you have the credentials we need, send us your details asap.
Driving licence and your own transport is essential, as is attention to our location.
Very long commutes are discouraged, and this is 100% in office postion.
