• Proof your own work - catch typos, misalignments, and spec issues before they ship
• Keep things findable - keep files named, organized, and saved per team file-management standards

The responsibilities above are the essential functions of this role.

The Human Skills

• Curiosity - You ask questions before you guess and treat feedback as the fastest way to grow
• Creativity - You bring fresh eyes to every brief and keep up with design trends, new tools, and what's catching on in branded products
• Compassion - You collaborate generously, share credit, and make the people around you easier to work with
• Communication - You take direction clearly, ask for what you need, and flag problems early
• Discernment - You pay close attention to detail and know when your work is truly ready and when to raise your hand for a second set of eyes

Qualifications

• Working proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud - Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign
• Understanding of print fundamentals: CMYK vs. spot color, bleed, resolution, vector vs. raster
• A portfolio showing solid typography, color, and layout fundamentals
