• Proofread packaging text, owner’s manuals, and product documentation
• Ensure all materials match approved specifications and versions
• Follow established programs and internal workflows for approval reviews
• Track revisions and confirm all corrections are properly implemented
• Serve as a final set of eyes for the design team prior to approval sign-off

• Extremely detail-oriented with strong organizational skills
• Excellent reading comprehension and proofreading ability
• Patient, diligent, and comfortable with repetitive review work
• Ability to consistently follow structured processes and systems
