- Execute projects from concept to final deliverables with a deep understanding of prepress and packaging workflows (especially in InDesign)
- Collaborate closely with creative directors, project managers, and marketing teams to bring artist visions to life
- Adapt quickly to feedback and direction, producing multiple variations or refinements as needed
- Retouch photographs for cover art, packaging, etc.
- Maintain file organization, accuracy, and consistency across various deliverables
- Juggle multiple deadlines with speed, efficiency, and grace under pressure
- Elevate the visual output of the label with fresh thinking, strategic design choices, and brand-savvy execution
- Manage post-production video workflows with Creative Director
- Other duties and responsibilities as assigned

- Strong ability to retouch photos with a natural aesthetic
- Exceptional multitasking, organizational, and communication skills
- A portfolio that demonstrates excellent layout, type, and concepting skills across both print and digital formats

- Exceptional time management skills with the ability to pivot when priorities shift
- A sharp creative eye coupled with pixel-perfect attention to detail
- Agency or in-house experience working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment is a major plus
- Familiarity with country music, its aesthetic codes, and its evolving visual language is a bonus (but not required)
