This is an execution focused design role for someone who enjoys taking established creative and turning it into polished, accurate, production ready work. You will typically join projects after the initial creative direction and first round of design have been established. Working from existing layouts, templates and creative direction, you will take projects from V1 through revisions and final delivery. Your day-to-day work will include updating layouts with copy edits, building brochures and other materials using established templates, adapting approved creative into multiple formats and preparing final files for print and digital production. This role is less about developing the big creative idea and more about knowing how to execute it correctly. You should be comfortable working within an established design system, following direction, paying close attention to detail and catching the things others may miss. Responsibilities

• Take existing V1 creative and incorporate copy, layout and client revisions to create polished V2 and subsequent rounds
• Use established templates to lay out brochures, guides, presentations, reports and other marketing materials
• Adapt approved creative into different sizes, formats and applications
• Prepare final artwork and production files for printers and other vendors
• Follow print specifications, including bleeds, trim, color, image resolution and file packaging
• Make accurate text and layout changes while maintaining the established design
• Manage images, links, fonts and supporting production assets
• Proof your own work and identify errors before work moves to the next stage
• Maintain clean, organized and properly packaged working files
• Work efficiently across multiple projects and deadlines
• Follow AgileCat and client brand standards consistently
• Collaborate with designers, creative leadership and account teams to move projects efficiently from V1 through final delivery Requirements
• 1 to 3 years of experience in graphic design, production design, production art or a similar role
• Strong working knowledge of Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop
• A solid understanding of typography, layout and basic design principles
• Familiarity with print production and preparing files for vendors
• Excellent attention to detail
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects
• Comfortable working from templates and established creative direction
• Able to take feedback and make revisions accurately and efficiently
• A self-checker who catches errors rather than relying on someone else to find them
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced agency environment Ideal Candidate You do not need to be the person who comes up with the big idea.

You need to be the person who can take a good idea and make sure it is executed correctly. You like clean files, consistent layouts, good typography and getting the details right. You are comfortable making revisions and adaptations while maintaining the integrity of the original creative. You can follow a template without fighting it, but you also know when something needs to be adjusted to make the finished piece work. You take pride in being the person the creative team can count on to get the work across the finish line. What You'll Gain

• Variety. Work across a wide range of clients, industries and project types rather than producing the same materials every day.
• Agency experience. Learn how professional creative work moves from initial concept through revisions, approvals and final production.
• Production expertise. Build real world skills in print production, file preparation, versioning, templates and digital execution.
• Creative exposure. Work alongside experienced designers and creative leadership and see how strategic and creative decisions come together.
• Responsibility. Become an important part of the process and a person the creative team can rely on to move work forward.
• A strong foundation.

Develop the technical and organizational skills that can support a long-term career in design and creative production.
