SUMMARY
Workman Publishing's children's department is seeking a creative and collaborative Senior Designer to join our dynamic team. This role will focus on developing innovative nonfiction trade and curriculum books for children across a wide range of formats-including board books, novelty, middle grade, graphic novels, activity books, and workbooks.
As a Senior Designer, you'll play a critical role in shaping our list by creating standout designs for both original IP and brand extensions of beloved backlist titles.

Key responsibilities:
  • Design innovative, eye-catching covers
  • Ideate and develop full interior layouts for new projects
  • Develop brands and logo designs
  • Partner with the design staff, editors, and publisher to manage multiple book projects from start to finish
  • Researches and oversees freelance illustrators and designers
  • Prepare cover mechanicals, from initial layout to final production (working with production mangers on materials and setup; prepress, color correction, and file setup; reviewing, correcting, and approving proofs; and providing final files for print)
  • Prepare galley covers, following a similar process
  • Work with colleagues in the marketing department to create original promotional materials, including social media assets
    Qualifications:
  • At least 5-7 years of design experience, primarily focused in book publishing
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating an eye for design, typography, and color, as well as sharp conceptual thinking and visual storytelling
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate on creative projects, present work, and discuss feedback in group settings
  • Experience in developing and designing series branding
  • Creativity, originality, willingness to experiment, learn, grow and share knowledge with the design and editorial teams
  • Understanding of the commercial market and design trends, branded series and commercial book covers
  • Proficiency in InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat
  • Experience with prepress production, preparing files for 4-color printing using a PDF workflow
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
  • Ability to work quickly and independently to meet deadlines

Join us at Workman Kids, where we're growing our list with bold ideas, smart design, and a commitment to innovation that honors our Workman roots. If you're excited by the opportunity to design books that spark imagination and curiosity in young readers, we'd love to hear from you.
As a leading book publisher, we believe that including and representing diverse voices in all aspects of our business is fundamental to what we do. Our publishing programs must reflect the broad range of backgrounds, experiences, political views and ideas that shape our society and publish books for all readers.
