The posting

We are hiring an Adobe InDesign & Photoshop Designer to prepare accurate, press-ready files for its print production team. You'll build layouts, correct and optimize images, and preflight every job before it prints.The ideal candidate knows a file that looks right on screen isn't always ready for press, and catches problems before they become reprints.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Prepare press-ready files in Adobe InDesign and Photoshop for products such as business cards, brochures, flyers, postcards, booklets, posters, banners, and signage.
  • Preflight every customer-supplied file for resolution, color mode, bleed, trim, safe margins, fonts, and missing links, and fix issues before production.
  • Build and edit layouts in InDesign using parent (master) pages, paragraph and character styles, and multi-page document setup.
  • Retouch, color-correct, and optimize images in Photoshop, including RGB-to-CMYK conversion, background removal, and clipping paths.
  • Set up files to exact specs, including crop marks, die lines, Pantone spot colors, fold lines, and spot UV or foil layers.
  • Create step-and-repeat and basic imposition layouts when a job requires it.
  • Export press-ready PDFs (PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4) and package jobs with all fonts and linked files.
  • Send digital proofs for customer approval, explain file issues in plain language, and turn revisions around quickly.
  • Check every final file against the job ticket for size, copy, color, and finishing before release to production.
  • Manage multiple jobs at once, prioritize rush orders, and keep job files and templates organized.
  • Work closely with sales and production teams over email, chat, and video calls.

Qualifications:

  • 3+ years of graphic design experience in print production, prepress, or a print or sign shop.
  • Advanced proficiency in Adobe InDesign and Photoshop; working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator and Acrobat Pro's preflight tools is a strong plus.
  • Strong prepress fundamentals: CMYK vs. RGB, Pantone spot colors, bleed and safe zones, 300 DPI resolution, overprint, transparency, and font handling.
  • Hands-on experience preparing press-ready PDFs and fixing problem files from customers.
  • Familiarity with digital and offset printing; large-format printing or RIP software experience (EFI Fiery, Onyx, Caldera) is a plus.
  • Sharp eye for detail, catching typos, color shifts, low-resolution images, and layout errors before they reach press.
  • Ability to work quickly and accurately on tight deadlines while handling several jobs at once.
  • Clear written and spoken English for working with US customers and teammates.
  • A portfolio of print work (layouts, marketing materials, packaging, or signage) is required.
  • Reliable high-speed internet, a dedicated workspace, and availability during US business hours.
  • Degree or diploma in graphic design or a related field preferred; equivalent experience is welcome.

Other Details:

  • Job Timings: On-site (6:00 pm till 3:00 am PKT) (Full Time / Part time)
  • Office location: Off Shahrah-e-Faisal, PECHS, Karachi.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
