Job Description

Clementine Paper creates fresh, fun and fashionable eco-friendly notebooks, stationery, gift wrap, greeting cards, paper storage, and various other products for mass retailers such as Target and TJ Maxx. We have also recently expanded into Candles, Soap, and other personal care items, so we are looking to build our team!

 

We are looking for a talented *onsite* Print Production Manager who has a proven background in graphic design and layout or surface design for Consumer Products, and has extensive knowledge of offset printing production.

 

The Design Manager - Production will be very hands on, taking concept art from the Creative Team and applying it to a wide array of products. They will then create final mechanical files to send to the factory for mass production. This is the perfect position for someone who is both creative and technically oriented, as they will be responsible for expanding and improving upon artwork provided as well as specifying the details on products such as foils, glitters, bag handles, and various other embellishments.

 

The ideal candidate will have a keen eye for design aesthetics, as well as a trend-right design sensibility. They should be a highly organized, technically skilled, and self-motivated person who has an outstanding attention to detail. The Print Production Manager will communicate with our factories to transfer art and convey pertinent information to ensure our products are produced accurately and on time.

 

In addition to interacting with the art team, the print production manager will work alongside a product development manager who works on pricing and product specs. We are looking for someone who is comfortable leading people and projects, as they may have several junior designers working under them eventually as we grow the team, or they may oversee designers from the Creative team to execute production projects.

 

**Please Note: We are seeking someone who has previous experience designing for consumer products and knowledge of surface design, rather than web, agency or catalog background!

 

Position Responsibilities:

 

• Apply existing art to various product types

• Prepare production-ready files for paper, gift or personal care products using Illustrator and Photoshop on a Mac platform

• Create binders with color references and specs to communicate project requirements to factory

• Color matching and correction

• Creating pattern repeats

• Managing digital assets

• Establishing best practices for production process

• Creating product mockups or linesheets as needed 

 

Qualifications:

• 10+ years of experience

• Thorough knowledge of printing processes and requirements.

• Highly proficient in Adobe Creative Suite on a Mac platform 

• Great can-do, positive attitude, ready to chip in on any project as needed.
