Job Responsibilities and Key Result Areas
Asana Project Tracking
- Own day-to-day Asana hygiene across all active packaging projects — updating task status, ETAs, and feedback logs without prompting.
- Ensure every open item has an owner, a date, and a current status at all times so leadership can pull live project status without a separate check-in.
- Zero overdue items or missing ETAs at any weekly review.
- Draft and send clear, professional, and timely communications to suppliers via email, Asana, and Slack.
- Proactively follow up on sample requests, technical drawings, approvals, and ETAs — do not wait to be asked.
- Track supplier responses and escalate delays immediately with context and a recommended next step.
- Request, track, and route all sample types — color range boards, drawdowns, dummies, 3D samples, and line trial units.
- Coordinate shipments between suppliers, LA office, MX office, and third parties within agreed timelines.
- Maintain the packaging tracker so sample status, ETAs, and feedback are current at every project checkpoint.
- Compile and distribute color evaluation reports, packaging test results, and approval documentation on schedule.
- Maintain organized, version-controlled records of approvals, rejections, and supplier communications.
- Support Technical Drawing preparation, signature routing, and version control — all dielines, approved TDs, and supplier documents filed and retrievable at all times.
- Coordinate with PD, Creative, Marketing, Quality, and Supply Chain to align on packaging needs and timelines.
- Attend supplier calls, internal packaging meetings, and daily standups.
- Surface urgent issues or delays the same day — with context and a recommended next step — do not hold information.
- Apply working knowledge of packaging components, materials (PP, PET, HDPE, paperboard, laminates), and manufacturing processes (injection molding, extrusion, offset printing, flexography) to evaluate samples and read technical drawings.
- Understand color management, testing protocols, and approval processes well enough to flag discrepancies and ask the right questions.
- Support the creation and ongoing maintenance of the Packaging Database — dielines, approved documents, and supplier files organized by project, version-controlled, and accessible to the full team at all times.
- Ensure no active project is missing a filed dieline or approved Technical Drawing.
- Actively use AI tools to draft supplier communications, compile reports, and accelerate administrative tasks.
- Integrate Asana into every aspect of daily project management — proactively identify where AI adds leverage and build it into repeatable workflow.
- 1–3 years of experience in packaging engineering, packaging development, or a closely related operations role within consumer goods, beauty, or personal care.
- Working knowledge of packaging components (primary, secondary, tubes, bottles, caps, jars, cartons), materials, and manufacturing processes.
- Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and supplier specs independently.
- Proficiency in Asana or a comparable project management platform — disciplined about daily task hygiene without coaching.
- Strong written communication skills — clear, professional, and direct in supplier and cross-functional correspondence.
- Exceptional documentation discipline: organized, version-controlled, complete, and always findable.
- Proactive escalation instinct — surfaces delays and discrepancies the same day with context, not just a flag.
- Familiarity with color evaluation, testing protocols, and packaging approval workflows.
- Comfort with AI tools for drafting, reporting, and workflow optimization — or demonstrated willingness to adopt them quickly.
- Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple active projects simultaneously without losing accuracy.
- Ownership mindset — follows through without being chased, and holds documentation to the same standard Kitsch holds its products.
- Competitive Pay/Benefits
- A dynamic team
- Location: Hybrid
- An open mind for new ideas
- Growth…growth and some more growth!
