[Hiring] Designer - Production Artist @Sazerac Company

Role Description

We’re looking for a detail-obsessed Technical Designer – Production Artist who thrives at the intersection of design and precision. This role is ideal for someone who not only cares about how things look - but how they’re built, prepped, and perfectly executed in production.

• Partner with designers, account teams, and external vendors to ensure seamless execution.
• Conduct detailed preflight checks and troubleshoot technical issues.
• Support and attend press checks to ensure quality and accuracy.
• Maintain organized file structures, naming conventions, and version control.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in graphic design, visual communication, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
• 3–5 years of experience in a technical design or production artist role.
• Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign).
• Strong understanding of print production, prepress workflows, and color management and experience producing packaging and/or POS materials.
• Ability to manage multiple projects under tight deadlines with exceptional attention to detail.
• Portfolio or work samples required demonstrating technical execution, print-ready files, and packaging/POS experience.

Requirements

• Experience in consumer packaged goods (CPG) or spirits industry (preferred).
• Familiarity working alongside legal and regulatory teams, including applying government and compliance mandatories to packaging and label design (preferred).
• Experience attending or supporting press checks (preferred).

Benefits

• Comprehensive compensation and benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401K, paid time off, and more.
• Annual salary range for this role is $71,000 - $106,000.
• Final compensation will be based on relevant experience, qualifications, geographic location, and internal pay equity considerations.
