Job title: Digitizer

PRO digitizing is a small family of designers and professionals looking for a new family member to help lead us to the next level. Our virtual doors opened in 2004, servicing the embroidery and apparel industry with digitizing services. You may not be familiar with apparel or embroidery, but don't let that scare you away. As long as you are curious and love to learn, we'll take care of teaching you the rest. What we need is an energetic and creative designer to deliver our industry-leading embroidery design services. We are in search of a creative designer who possesses strong technical abilities and is interested in learning a new medium.

The designer who joins us will work in a small team of designers alongside our customer service specialists and will work through many designs each day. While your primary role will be working on the designs, customer contact will also be a part of your day -- answering technical questions, clarifying requests, and assisting with technical issues. You will communicate with our customers via phone and email. Your goal is to interpret our customer's digital design for a physical medium while ensuring technical compatibility. Attention to detail and a strong grasp of how machines, fabrics, and threads interact will become the basis of your technical toolset. Our company is small in numbers, but the opportunities to learn and contribute are endless. You will have plenty of room to grow your skills and apply your interests. We are innovators and creatives looking to provide the best service and highest quality product to our clients. You should be ready for a new challenge every day.
