About The Position

The Specialist, Platform Art Production supports the Platform Art Studio in the versioning, finishing, and delivery of a high-volume of artwork across A+E’s multiplatform business. Working closely with the Senior Art Director, this role helps translate platform needs, partner specs, and creative direction into polished, accurate, delivery-ready assets. This is a hands-on production role for someone who is highly skilled in digital-first mechanical art, understands how assets need to function across platforms, and brings a practical eye toward improving workflows, reducing friction, and making high-volume creative production smoother. This role is ideal for a thoughtful, digitally-fluent production artist who can execute accurately at volume while also thinking critically about how the work gets done. You’ll work closely with the Senior Art Director, helping bring platform art requests across the finish line, maintaining quality and consistency, and identifying opportunities to make workflows clearer, faster, and more scalable. You should be comfortable in the mechanical details of production: specs, templates, resizing, retouching, file prep, delivery requirements, and quality control. You should also be the kind of person who notices friction, asks smart questions, and helps create better ways of working.
