Day to Day

• Taking field from companies, renaming them, organizing them and putting them back up

• Very production-based work for the website

• Daily check ins w/ the team on where they're at w/ projects – must be able to directly explain where they're at w/ projects

• They'll be assigned specific brands to support, and will need to be able to jam through work quickly, following existing brand-specific guidelines

• Heavy Photoshop – they're in photoshop 90% of the time

• Lot of template work here

• 30 tickets a week – can have anywhere from 1-4 artworks that need to be designed, exported, and then published

  • Each ticket can take 4-5 weeks, so it's not 30 tickets in and out w/in one week time, it's 30 tickets from an agile process (they're at different stages)

  • Web banners

  • Very basic- templates

  • Different product graphic

  • Existing artwork from the brand

Must Haves

• 1-3 YOE in graphic/production design

  • Open to more senior people as long as they are down to be a straight do-er

• Production-oriented mindset & able to follow existing brand guidelines not an extremely artsy role

• Photoshop

  • Can you open files and diagnose it? Understand what they did? How are the layers made up? How do you make adjustments?

    • Do you understand how smart objects work?

• Exp (or mindset/interest) in a high volume production space

  • HM's biggest concern in general is finding someone that can keep up w/ the pace

    • 30 tickets a week but each ticket can take 4-5 weeks, so it's not 30 tickets in and out w/in one week time, it's 30 tickets from an agile process (they're at different stages & working at one at a time basically)

Nice to Haves

• Video/animation editing

• After Effects or Premier

• Exp working w/ CPGs and/or large brands (i.e. Client)
