Job description

For nearly 50 years, we've helped food and beverage brands connect with the people they serve through smart strategy, memorable creative, and lasting partnerships. Behind every successful campaign is a team that cares about getting every detail right.

That's where Studio comes in.

We're looking for a Production Designer / Senior Studio Artist who loves the craft of bringing ideas to life. Someone who takes pride in producing polished, accurate, production-ready work and knows that the smallest details often make the biggest difference.

If you're the person who naturally catches the typo, fixes the alignment, improves the file structure, and makes everyone's work better before it goes out the door, we'd like to meet you.

What You'll Do

Every day looks a little different, but your work may include:

• Producing final artwork for print, digital, presentations, environmental graphics, trade shows, packaging, and social media.
• Building visually engaging PowerPoint and Google Slides presentations that help tell compelling stories.
• Adapting campaign creative into multiple formats while maintaining design integrity.
• Preparing flawless production files for commercial print and digital distribution.
• Performing professional photo retouching and image editing.
• Working alongside Account, Creative, Project Management, Strategy, and Development teams to bring ideas to life.
• Maintaining brand consistency across every deliverable.
• Looking for smarter, more efficient ways to improve production workflows.

What Makes You Successful

This role is about more than knowing Adobe Creative Cloud.

You're someone who:

• Enjoys solving production challenges.
• Can juggle multiple deadlines without sacrificing quality.
• Communicates well with designers, writers, account teams, and vendors.
• Takes ownership of your work from start to finish.

You understand that great production isn't about being noticed— it's about making everything else shine.

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of production or studio experience in an agency or in-house creative team.
• Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, and Acrobat.
• Strong knowledge of print production, file preparation, typography, color management, and layout.
• Experience producing a wide variety of marketing materials across print and digital channels.
• Presentation design experience in PowerPoint or Google Slides is a strong plus.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills.

Why JT Mega?

We're an independent agency built around long-term relationships—with our clients and with each other.

You'll join a collaborative team where strategy, creative, media, account service, and studio all work together to produce exceptional work. You'll have the opportunity to help shape the future of our Studio department while working on nationally recognized food and beverage brands.

If you enjoy collaboration, appreciate craftsmanship, and believe details matter, you'll fit right in.
