A growing wholesale company is seeking a highly organized, detail‑driven Design & Approvals Assistant to support the design and product approval process from concept through final sign‑off. This role plays a critical behind‑the‑scenes function in ensuring that all product‑related materials are accurate, consistent, and aligned before moving forward in the production lifecycle.

This is not a production or creative design role and does not require prior design experience. Instead, it is ideal for someone who is methodical, patient, and exceptionally focused—someone who enjoys working within structured systems, reviewing fine details, and serving as a final checkpoint to ensure nothing is missed. Your work will directly impact product quality, brand integrity, and operational efficiency.

• Review and audit product approvals for accuracy, including spelling, formatting, layout consistency, and version alignment.
• Carefully review packaging copy, owner’s manuals, instruction guides, labels, and other product documentation to ensure all information matches approved specifications.
• Confirm that artwork, text, barcodes, product names, and technical details are consistent across all materials.
• Follow established internal systems, workflows, and approval processes to complete reviews efficiently and accurately.
• Act as a final set of eyes for the design and product teams before approvals are finalized and released.
• Track revisions, comments, and version updates to ensure all corrections are properly implemented.
• Maintain clear documentation and records of approvals, changes, and sign‑offs.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with internal teams regarding discrepancies, required edits, or missing information.
• Support the design and operations teams by ensuring approvals move forward smoothly and on schedule.

• Extremely detail‑oriented with strong organizational skills and a high level of accuracy.
• Excellent reading comprehension and proofreading abilities.
• Patient, focused, and comfortable performing structured, repetitive review work.
• Strong ability to follow systems, processes, and checklists consistently.
• Basic computer proficiency and comfortبلو using internal programs and software tools.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple approvals at once while maintaining attention to detail.
• Prior experience in an assistant obes , administrative, operations, or quality review role is a plus, but not required.

The ideal candidate is someone who takes pride in precision and consistency, enjoys working within defined processes, and understands the importance of accuracy in a fast‑paced wholesale environment. You are dependable, thoughtful, and proactive, with the ability to stay focused on details while supporting a larger team goal. This role offers exposure to the product development and design approval process and is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to grow instructions within a structured, operations‑focused role in the wholesale industry.
