About The Position

We’re looking for an experienced Creative Production Manager to join a fast-moving, dedicated creative studio supporting one of our key clients. This is a hybrid role for someone who is equal parts designer and orchestrator. You’ll help manage the day-to-day flow of creative requests through the studio while also jumping directly into the work—designing, adapting, versioning, producing, and preparing creative for final delivery. You should be a highly skilled designer, exceptionally organized, comfortable working directly with clients, and experienced managing multiple fast-turn projects at once. You know how to take an established brand system and execute it beautifully and consistently across digital, presentation, print, environmental, and production applications.

Requirements

5+ years of professional experience in graphic design, production design, creative production, or a related agency or in-house creative environment.
Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator.
Strong production-design skills, including image preparation, file setup, prepress, and preparation of production-ready artwork and PDFs.
A strong portfolio demonstrating excellent typography, layout, image, and visual design skills across a range of applications.
Experience working within established brand systems and translating creative direction consistently across multiple formats and deliverables.
Experience managing multiple creative requests, priorities, deadlines, and rounds of feedback in a fast-paced environment.
Strong understanding of print and physical production processes and experience preparing files for outside vendors, fabricators, or production partners.
Excellent organizational, communication, and client-facing skills.
Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to confidently review and QA both your own work and the work of others.
Comfortable learning and using project management, collaboration, and AI-powered creative tools as part of the daily workflow.
Able to work independently, collaborate closely with a team, and remain calm and solutions-oriented when priorities or timelines shift.
