Marketing Designer, Creative Services, PRH Christian Division (Open to Remote)

Penguin Random House Christian Publishing Division is seeking a Graphic Designer to join our Advertising and Creative Operations department. This position requires strong organizational and time management skills, and the ability to work on a variety of projects in an intense and fast-paced environment. The Designer will be responsible for managing simultaneous projects to support marketing efforts across web, social, and email platforms, including motion graphics. The individual will produce great design in print, motion, and promotional items, focusing on WaterBrook, Multnomah, Image, Ink & Willow, and Forum imprints. This is an excellent opportunity to join an innovative, integrated department and work with renowned titles published by these imprints.

Our Christian publishing program aims to create books that inspire readers to find spiritual purpose and deepen their relationship with God. We seek a creative, collaborative, and enthusiastic designer interested in Christian books to join our team. The Designer will actively create and execute customized campaigns for approximately 80 Christian-focused books annually, spanning Christian Living, Fiction, Young Readers, and 4-color product lines including children’s books and gift items.

• Traffic creative: prepare and release files to stakeholders, and send projects to print.
• Partner with the Creative Services team to stay current on art, design, and publishing trends, and contribute new ideas to keep our output relevant and timely.

The Essentials:

• 3-5 years of experience as a staff designer in advertising preferred; trade publishing marketing experience is a plus but not required.
• Strong interest and familiarity with the Christian Book space are required for success.
• A passion for design and typography, demonstrated by your portfolio.
• Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and Microsoft Office; working knowledge of Adobe After Effects, Audition, and Premiere, with the willingness to learn new systems.

• Creative problem-solving, decision-making, and time management skills.
• Proficiency using social media platforms for marketing.

Salary Range: $66,500 to $68,500, with eligibility for annual profit sharing or bonus based on company results.
