Sr. Production Artist

A national brand’s internal creative studio is seeking a Sr. Production Artist who is highly skilled in print production, mechanical file prep, and large-format output. This role is 99% print—ideal for someone who thrives in a studio environment, prefers production over concepting, and maintains an exceptional eye for detail and accuracy. You’ll work on large mechanical files (up to 40GB), ensuring pixel-perfect execution across collateral, OOH, retail, and specialty print applications.

• Full time hours, open ended
• Hybrid, onsite 3-4 days per week in Philadelphia, PA
• $35-45/hr

Responsibilities:

• Build and prepare production-ready mechanical files for print across OOH, large format, retail displays, and collateral.

• Perform basic retouching and clean-up in Photoshop (extending backgrounds, cleaning artifacts, correcting content, color/tone adjustments).

• Execute precise resizing, formatting, and layout adjustments to meet updated specifications and vendor requirements.

• Maintain mechanical consistency across complex assets, ensuring proper bleeds, dielines, layers, color profiles, and resolution standards.

• Work efficiently through high-volume production queues, implementing edits and revisions with speed and accuracy.

• Collaborate closely with print vendors and internal stakeholders to ensure files are compliant with production standards.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of mechanical production experience in a studio environment; strong preference for candidates with true print production portfolios.

• Expert-level skills in Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop) with mastery of layout prep, mechanicals, and prepress.

• Deep understanding of print production, color accuracy, preflight, and file packaging for vendor handoff.

• Proven ability to work on very large mechanical files (40GB+), multi-layer packaging, or complex large-format assets.

• Strong problem-solving abilities and ability to handle repetitive and technical tasks at a high level.

• Portfolio must clearly demonstrate true production work — not conceptual design.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with OOH, retail signage, and specialty large-format applications.

• Familiarity with vendor specs, die creation, and print workflows.

• Ability to contribute to systemization or standardization of file processes.
