Graphic Designer (BBS851)

We're looking for a Graphic Designer to join the Art Department of an established American paper goods manufacturer producing a broad catalog of notebooks, composition books, legal pads, and specialty paper products. You will lay out and prepare print-ready artwork, design collegiate products within an order-based system, manage licensing submissions, and support marketing and catalog production across a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Accuracy is the defining requirement of this role. The collegiate licensing industry is heavily regulated and errors in mass-produced materials carry real costs. The graphics team is the last line of defense before artwork goes to print, and the expectation is that every file that leaves the department is correct. If you are a detail-oriented production designer who is highly proficient in Adobe CC, works cleanly and precisely under deadline pressure, and takes pride in getting the file right before it goes out, this role is a strong fit.

Paid Time Off in accordance with company policy

Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
