Overview

Legion Creative Group is seeking a highly detail-oriented Print Production Designer / Production Artist. Someone who loves the craft just as much as the creative.

This position should be able to juggle many jobs at one time, while maintaining organization and attention to detail.

The ideal candidate has strong technical expertise in print production, a sharp eye for detail, and the ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.

  • Assist the Digital Asset Manager with critical asset management duties during periods of high volume or when business needs require, to ensure continuous operation and security of digital asset
  • Strictly adhere to TPN security protocols and best practices during the download, upload, transfer, and storage of client files, maintaining chain of custody and confidentiality
  • Support the intake and organization of digital media assets (video, stills, audio, creative files) from external clients and internal teams, ensuring they are accurately cataloged
  • Facilitate the secure and efficient delivery of assets to clients, vendors, and partners, ensuring file specifications and metadata requirements are met.
  • Assist in maintaining the Digital Asset Management (DAM) system to ensure assets are easily searchable and accessible
