The Job

Essential job duties:

• Review all product packaging across every SKU: physical boxes, inserts, labels, and any customer facing materials for accuracy, completeness, and brand consistency.
• Audit logo usage across all packaging and product content, ensuring correct versions, sizing, color usage, and placement in line with brand guidelines.
• Create and maintain a comprehensive product packaging matrix organized by SKU, capturing packaging type, dimensions, logo placement, content included, and revision status.
• Identify discrepancies, outdated content, or missing brand elements and document findings clearly for the purchasing team.
• Coordinate with Operations, Marketing, and Product teams to gather current packaging files, specs, and brand assets to create our manufacturing guidelines and packets.
• Maintain organized records and a clean, version controlled packaging asset library.
• Support packaging update projects as they arise because we’re a hands on team that wins together.
• High-five your teammates when another generator bites the dust.

What You Bring

• Are studying a business or design related field or have equivalent hands on experience
• Have experience in visual review, packaging, content auditing, or quality control
• Have a sharp eye for design details. You notice when a logo is the wrong color, size, or version
• Can troubleshoot creatively and think like a customer
• Believe in rural resilience and clean technology
• Want to be part of a team where mission isn’t a buzzword—it’s the reason
