Job description

We’re leading the way in redefining the workwear category. Our mission is to engineer better boots and apparel for our country’s tradesmen and women by working directly with real workers to learn what they actually need to execute their jobs.

The BRUNT team is not only devoted to improving on the old workwear standards, but we’re also creating a community that tradesmen and women can call their own. From our weekly hangouts at the BRUNT Garage, to hosting events across the country, we’re all about getting boots on the ground and building something real with the BRUNT crew.

What You’ll Do

This role combines technical production execution, cross-channel asset delivery, and brand quality assurance into a key operational function within the Creative team. Reporting to the Creative Director, the Production Designer is responsible for translating big creative concepts into accurate, on-brand, production-ready deliverables across print and digital platforms while building scalable file management, pre-press, and quality-control workflows that improve asset consistency, speed, and accuracy.

The ideal candidate is sharp, process-driven, and detail-obsessed, thriving in fast-paced environments where technical precision, proactive problem-solving, and flawless execution across variable formats are essential.

How You’ll Do It

Digital Asset Production & Editing

• Asset Scaling: Adapt, resize, and optimize high-converting creative concepts for digital assets, including web banners, email templates, paid social, and promotional graphics.
• Photo Prep & Retouching: Perform light photo retouching, color correction, clipping path creation, and image cropping to maintain visual consistency across all product photography.

Packaging & Print Mechanicals

• Print Prep: Create error-free, print-ready mechanicals (dielines, color proofs, spot colors/Pantones) for packaging, hangtags, apparel trims, retail signage, and collateral.
• Pre-press & Technical Specs: Ensure all technical specs, visual tolerances, and print guidelines are strictly met before assets go to vendor production.

Brand Stewardship & Quality Control

• Brand Consistency: Maintain strict adherence to visual brand guidelines across every customer touchpoint, ensuring typography, logo usage, color accuracy, and spacing are spot on.
• Quality Assurance: Conduct rigorous pre-flight checks on all digital and print files to eliminate typos, broken links, incorrect color profiles, or misaligned margins.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Team Execution: Partner closely with the Creative Director, Director of Creative Services, Art Directors, Designers, Copywriters, and Growth Marketers to execute high-volume tickets on tight campaign schedules.

What You Need To Succeed

• Experience: 3+ years of professional production design or graphic design experience, preferably in a fast-paced DTC, apparel, footwear, or lifestyle brand environment.
• Software Mastery: Expert proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and Figma. Familiarity with Digital Asset Management (DAM) platforms is a plus.
• Technical Expertise: Deep knowledge of digital file formats/compression, color spaces (RGB vs. CMYK vs. Pantone), print production processes, pre-flight, and dieline creation.
• Attention to Detail: Meticulous eye for design accuracy—you spot misaligned margins, kerning errors, and incorrect color profiles instantly.
• Agility & Drive: Proven ability to manage high-volume production schedules without sacrificing quality, bringing grit and proactive problem-solving to a high-growth brand.
• Ability to reliably commute to the work location (Wilmington, MA) 4x per week
