Are you the Picasso of Production Artists? Do you look at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and find mistakes? Well, then maybe your eagle eye and exacting standards would a perfect fit for Two by Four. We need a Production Artist / Designer Extraordinaire, responsible for the production and seamless execution of print and digital materials. The mercurial artist in this position will be stimulated with frequent changes-of-pace, veering into the world of the creative and design departments to assist them with comp and layout work. Using your considerable talents (and a fine-tooth comb), you’ll be versioning out concepts, perfectly recreating all manner of artwork, translating everything from messy notes to mystifying change orders, and deciphering various other hieroglyphics.

Responsibilities:

  • Accurately build press-ready production files 
  • Execute page layouts, make type and art corrections, and retouch artwork 
  • Take direction from Designers and create complete layouts and tactics 
  • Work efficiently and meet all deadlines…tick, tick, tick… 
  • Follow and uphold department production processes to ensure accurate and error-free work 
  • Attend production meetings and ensure you receive all the information necessary to successfully produce the project 
  • Prep files for vendors and clients, and demonstrate the ability to multi-task 
  • Update production board daily and prioritize workload 
  • Interact with agency personnel with diplomacy; address issues as they arise 
  • Proactively seek solutions to issues

Qualifications:

  • 2-8 years of advertising agency experience 
  • Thorough knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office 
  • Design skills that allow the translation of ideas into various tactics 
  • A solid understanding of layout, printing process, file optimization 
  • Experience with proofing, preflighting files, prepress and press checking is essential 
  • Juggling ability: you’ll be multitasking several projects at a time 
  • A strong attention to detail, and process-oriented 
  • Retouching skills are a bonus

Accountability:

  • THIS IS A PREDOMINATELY A “WORK FROM THE OFFICE” JOB. While we currently offer “Work from Home Wednesdays”, this job requires that you work in our Nashville office Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
  • Direct applicants only. No agency solicitations of any kind.
