Role Summary

The Production Designer turns approved creative direction into polished, production-ready Marketing assets across digital and print. Beyond resizing, this role independently develops layouts, templates, presentations, sales materials, and asset adaptations within agreed briefs and brand standards. Campaign concepts and creative direction remain with the Creative Director, Marketing.

Reporting to the Creative Director, Marketing, this role combines strong design judgment with reliable production skills. Work is prioritized through the Creative Director and the existing project-management process, rather than through separate requests from every stakeholder. The designer keeps files organized, checks production quality, and raises questions early when a brief or brand application needs clarification.
