As a Quality Control Specialist, you will be responsible for ensuring that all assets are delivered without errors. You will work closely with a team of designers and visual artists to monitor asset compliance to provided standards and guidelines, check for copy alignment, spelling, technical specification alignment, and technical errors on any output produced. You will also manage QC requirements and risk analysis by enforcing and improving the workflow, organize, track, and ensure quality of final files before delivery to trafficking team or clients, and execute planning, scoping and estimation of QC efforts. You will also assist with data ingest and file organization management on our server alongside the Asset Management team.

Critical Mass is a team of 1,800 inspired folks based in 12 offices around the world, providing full-service digital capabilities for the greatest brands on Earth. Our secret sauce is our uncompromising design standards, our relentless focus on customers, and an ability to put powerful new technologies to work for our clients. We work with the best—Apple, Nike, Mars Wrigley, Nissan, Diageo, Airbnb, BMW, BNY Mellon, Johnson &amp; Johnson, and many more—brands who strive for connected digital ecosystems and unparalleled experiences. We help them get there by gaining deep insight into their consumers and orchestrating data, AI, design, media, and tech stacks around human stories. We’re a global agency founded in Canada, but digital is our home. If you know us, then you know we’re a special, quirky place that attracts big talent and tiny egos. (We actually give out a “so f-n nice” award—lots of them). But just because we’re friendly doesn’t mean we’re not a force to be reckoned with. We’re driven. Relentless. And we live our values. We’re Critical Mass, but our friends call us CM. Please call us CM!
