Hands-on experience operating digital presses or production copiers is strongly preferred. Strong communication skills, a working knowledge of print production processes (color management, paper stocks, finishing), and experience with copy editing or proofreading round out the ideal profile.

  • Gathers project requirements, brainstorms and mocks up design concepts, presents ideas to management and/or clients, and revises work based on feedback
  • Uses Adobe Creative Suite and other design software to create layouts, selecting colors, images, textures, and typography appropriate to each project
  • Develops materials for print marketing, websites, promotional displays, newsletters, signage, and other customer needs
  • Troubleshoots file, color, and output issues and coordinates with the appropriate department personnel to resolve them
  • Maintains accurate job records, order tracking, and documentation of customer interactions
  • Handles customer complaints professionally or escalates when necessary
  • Meets or exceeds service, quality, and production targets
  • Attends all staff meetings, trainings, and educational sessions as required
  • Provides administrative assistance as needed
  • Performs other duties as assigned

QUALIFICATIONS

  • College degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, or a related field
  • Two years of relevant experience in a print, pre-press, or production environment required
  • Proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite and pre-press/desktop publishing tools on both Mac and PC
  • Working knowledge of digital press and copier operation, color management, paper stocks, and finishing processes strongly preferred
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively with clients, staff, vendors, and production partners
  • Self-reliant; able to work independently, manage multiple jobs simultaneously, and accept full responsibility for projects from file prep through finished output
  • Excellent organizational skills with the ability to meet frequently changing deadlines in a fast-paced production environment
  • Strong attention to detail with a commitment to accuracy and print quality
  • Highly professional and dependable
  • Portfolio required
