Associate Production Designer

Job Title:
Associate Production Designer

Location: DUMBO, Brooklyn (Hybrid) - 4 days in office

Salary Range: $70K-$80K

We're a beauty brand that believes great design is thoughtful and felt in equal measure. We're looking for a Production Graphic Designer who lives at that intersection — and brings that same care to every file they open.

This isn't a role for someone who wants to clock in and push pixels. It's for a designer who understands that production design is a craft — that the work you send to print, to manufacturing, to the shelf, and out into the digital world represents the brand everywhere it lives. You're the last line of defense before something exists permanently, and you take that seriously.

• Partner with the Design Director and cross-functional creative and marketing teams from brief through final delivery
• Produce and resize design assets across print, packaging, digital, ecommerce/paid media (email, PDPs, banners, in-store signage, mailers, Meta, Tik Tok, Pinterest, etc.), and retail partner channels — adapting each to its own specs, audience, and platform context, since what works on our site won't always translate directly to a partner's platform
• Prepare print-ready files with a strong grasp of dielines, bleeds, crops, and finishing techniques
• Adapt creative for retail partner environments, recognizing that what works on our site won't always translate directly to theirs
• Juggle multiple variations across channel specs without letting quality dip on high-volume or "routine" work
• Review your own work critically before anyone else does, catching errors in typography, color, spacing, and file specs
• Partner with the Digital Asset Management team to ensure final files are delivered cleanly, named consistently, and easy to find across the DAM and server
• Manage your own workload and deadlines without needing to be chased — you know how to prioritize and communicate when things shift
• Ask questions when something isn't clear, flag issues before they become problems, and offer solutions when you raise concerns
• Look at existing workflows and ask "how can this be better?" — you're always thinking about how to work smarter without cutting corners
• Grow with the brand — as we expand, this role expands with it, and we want someone who's excited to help shape what that looks like

• 3–5 years of production design experience, ideally in beauty, fashion, retail, or consumer goods
• Strong command of Figma and Adobe Creative Suite — Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign inside and out
• Experienced working across DAM systems, Dropbox, in-house server
• Solid understanding of print production, color systems (CMYK, Pantone), file preparation, and packaging specs
• Someone who reads a brief carefully, thinks before they design, and doesn't just default to whatever's fastest
• A collaborator who communicates clearly, takes feedback well, and gives it constructively
• Detail-oriented to a degree that others might find excessive — we consider that a strength, not a flaw
• Organized, reliable, and self-directed — you follow through without being chased
• Experience producing assets for ecommerce platforms (Shopify, Google, Klaviyo) and major retail partners — familiarity with their templates, submission requirements, and brand guidelines
• Able to navigate any retailer's specs or templates without treating a single deliverable as routine
• Comfortable with light video editing and basic animation — After Effects, Premier Pro and GIFs in your toolkit.
• Experience working with vendors, printers, and manufacturers is a strong plus

You care about the work. Not in a precious way — you know production is iterative and sometimes unglamorous — but in the way that a misspelling on a label or a color that prints wrong genuinely bothers you. You understand that beauty is a category where presentation is everything, and you hold yourself accountable to that standard even when no one is looking.

You want to be part of something, not just passing through. You're interested in the brand, curious about how the business works, and motivated by doing your best work in service of something you can be proud of.

Please send your resume, a brief note about yourself, and a portfolio or work samples that reflect your design experience — especially anything that shows how your work translates from concept to real-world execution. Candidates who move forward will be asked to complete a design test.
