The Production Assistant supports the Production Manager in the day-to-day execution of catalog production, print advertising, and digital marketing projects. This is a print and marketing production role — it does not involve film, television, video, or on-set production of any kind. This role is ideal for a detail-oriented, organized individual with an interest in print publishing, catalog production, or retail/advertising marketing, who is eager to learn prepress and production workflows from the ground up. The successful candidate will be comfortable juggling multiple tasks, communicating across teams, and contributing to the smooth delivery of high-quality printed and digital marketing materials.
• Collect, organize, and manage product images and assets for use in print and digital catalog production.
• Provide clear instructions and direction to graphic artists and designers regarding layout, content, and print specifications.
• Proof product information, pricing, descriptions, and copy for accuracy and consistency before catalog and advertising materials go to press.
• Assist in preparing print-ready files and digital assets for press production and online distribution, ensuring all specifications and deadlines are met.
• Communicate effectively with Guild members, coworkers, and external artists to gather information, relay updates, and resolve questions.
• Support the production of retail print advertising, digital advertising, and signage artwork from initial layout through final press-ready delivery.
• Help maintain organized catalog and print production schedules and track project progress to keep workflows on time.
• Assist with general administrative and prepress production tasks as needed to support department goals.
• High school diploma or equivalent required; associate or bachelor's degree in graphic design, print media, marketing, communications, or a related field preferred.
• Background or coursework in print production, catalog/publication production, or retail marketing is a strong plus.
• Strong attention to detail with excellent proofreading and organizational skills.
• Ability to multitask and shift between projects quickly in a deadline-driven catalog/print production environment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Proficiency with Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook); familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator) is a plus.
• A proactive, team-oriented attitude with a willingness to learn and take on new challenges.
• Prior experience in print production, publishing, prepress, or retail/advertising marketing is a plus but not required. No film, TV, or video production experience is needed or applicable to this role.
