• Ensure digital and print deliverables meet technical specifications and are accurate, organized, and ready for launch or vendor handoff, applying knowledge of color profiles, resolution, scale, bleeds, and file preparation
• Build, maintain, and improve reusable design components, templates, libraries, and assets in Figma and Adobe Creative Cloud
• Translate established design systems and brand standards into practical, flexible templates and production tools that support repeatable workflows across channels, campaigns, and brands
• Organize and document design assets, establish naming conventions and file structures, and help ensure components and templates are intuitive, current, and easy to use
• Apply brand guidelines and visual standards across creative deliverables, identifying opportunities to improve consistency, reduce duplication, and streamline asset adaptation
• Use generative AI and AI-powered tools to create and enhance assets, automate repetitive tasks, accelerate adaptations, and explore new approaches to creative production and system development
• Partner with art directors, designers, copywriters, marketers, and production partners to translate creative direction into effective, scalable solutions from concept through delivery
• Balance day-to-day production needs with ongoing design system improvements, delivering accurate, polished work while proactively identifying opportunities to improve team operations

Qualifications & Requirements

• 4+ years of professional design experience in an agency, in-house creative, marketing, or similar environment, with a portfolio demonstrating strong production design skills and examples of reusable design systems, templates, or component libraries
• Strong visual design fundamentals, including typography, composition, layout, color, imagery, and visual hierarchy
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, particularly Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, with strong understanding of digital and print production requirements
• Hands-on experience with Figma and Celtra, including creating and maintaining components, styles, libraries, templates, and organized design files; familiarity with design tokens, component variants, and scalable design system practices is a plus
• Experience building and maintaining reusable creative assets, with an understanding of how templates, components, documentation, and clear file structures improve consistency and efficiency across a creative team
• Strong production knowledge across digital, print, OOH, trade shows, events, and other marketing applications, including file preparation, technical specifications, and vendor delivery requirements
