  • Uses Adobe Creative Suite and other design software to create layouts, selecting colors, images, textures, and typography appropriate to each project
  • Develops materials for print marketing, websites, promotional displays, newsletters, signage, and other customer needs
  • Troubleshoots file, color, and output issues and coordinates with the appropriate department personnel to resolve them
  • Maintains accurate job records, order tracking, and documentation of customer interactions
  • Handles customer complaints professionally or escalates when necessary
  • Meets or exceeds service, quality, and production targets
  • Attends all staff meetings, trainings, and educational sessions as required
  • Provides administrative assistance as needed
  • Performs other duties as assigned

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Two years of relevant experience in a print, pre-press, or production environment required
  • Proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite and pre-press/desktop publishing tools on both Mac and PC
  • Working knowledge of digital press and copier operation, color management, paper stocks, and finishing processes strongly preferred
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively with clients, staff, vendors, and production partners
  • Self-reliant; able to work independently, manage multiple jobs simultaneously, and accept full responsibility for projects from file prep through finished output
  • Excellent organizational skills with the ability to meet frequently changing deadlines in a fast-paced production environment
  • Strong attention to detail with a commitment to accuracy and print quality

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.
