Indianapolis Jobs for Prepress Production Specialist
PRINTING PARTNERS • INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANAWhy the Update?
We’ve updated this job title from Graphic Designer to Prepress Production Specialist to better reflect the responsibilities of this role. While design is still an important part of the position, this role also involves critical prepress tasks and collaboration across multiple teams in a fast-paced environment. We need someone with a balance of creative skills and technical expertise to meet the demands of our clients and projects.
Job Overview
Printing Partners is seeking a versatile and detail-oriented Prepress Production Specialist to join our Art Department. This is NOT a remote position—we require someone on-site to sign off on hard proofs, collaborate with multiple teams, and handle fast-paced, high-quality production work.
In addition to prepress responsibilities, this role involves creative design work to support client needs. If you enjoy both technical precision and creative problem-solving in a dynamic environment, this position is for you. We work quickly and efficiently, so this is not a role for someone who needs a month to brainstorm ideas.
Key Qualifications:
- Experience in prepress and print production within a professional print environment.
- Adobe Creative Suite Expertise: Near-master level proficiency in InDesign, Acrobat, Illustrator, and Photoshop. Candidates should be highly skilled in these applications as they are critical to daily production work.
- We do NOT work in Canva. If Canva is your primary design tool, this role may not be the right fit.
- Production Design Focus: This is a fast-paced, production-oriented role. You will be tasked with completing multiple projects daily, following client and sales instructions. Conceptual design work is minimal, and you'll need to deliver high-quality designs within tight deadlines.
- Strong Organization & Time Management: The ability to manage multiple clients and salespeople while producing high-quality design work quickly is crucial. Organization and staying on task are essential.
- Variable Data: Manage and process mailing variable data projects using XMPie.
Responsibilities and Duties:
- Production Design: Create high-quality designs for various print materials under tight deadlines, ensuring accuracy and adherence to client instructions.
- Multiple Project Management: Handle several design tasks simultaneously, delivering results within short time frames without compromising quality.
- Collaboration: Work closely with clients, salespeople, and other team members to ensure all projects are completed efficiently and meet Printing Partners' standards.
What We Offer:
- A fast-paced, production-focused role where your skills are put to the test daily.
- Opportunities to work on a wide range of projects, including print design, variable data, and digital content.
Who We're Looking For:
Highly skilled designers with a strong background in Adobe Creative Cloud tools and a focus on production design. Real-world experience in a fast-paced environment is more valued than formal education.
