Production Designer

This role reflects a creative agency and design studio model where visual design meets production design tooling and workflow expertise. The focus is on translating brand strategy and design systems into high-quality presentation design. You will operate as a hands-on design expert, owning complex workstreams end-to-end and elevating the quality and consistency of production output.

You will partner closely with the Senior Manager, Production Design, and cross-functional stakeholders to ensure work is executed with clarity, craftsmanship, and operational rigor. This is a strictly individual contributor role focused primarily on direct design execution and production workstreams.

Candidates should demonstrate versatility across brands and audiences, a strong point of view, and a portfolio that showcases bold creative thinking and presentation-driven work.

A strong portfolio demonstrating visual design expertise, systems thinking, high-volume execution, and brand-led production, with a particular focus on presentation design, is required.

This is an onsite , 5-month contract assignment. Candidates must be able to work in Los Angeles, CA, and cannot hold H-1B visa status. Hourly rate is $125.00/hour. Benefits are available through Talent Table. No C2C.
