Graphic Designer (SAS/Print Final Art)

Accountabilities

Final Art: Insert Cards, Catalogs & Packaging (50% of time)    
Produce print-ready final art for Lovepop’s physical touchpoints: insert cards that ship inside every order, multi-page seasonal catalogs, and packaging artwork. Own the end-to-end pre-press workflow — CMYK color setup, bleed and trim accuracy, die-line precision, pre-flight checks in Acrobat Pro, and clear handoff to the factory or print vendor. Resolve technical print issues quickly so production cycles never stall.
SAS — Design Sentiment Card Program (40% of time)    
Lead the visual production for Lovepop’s Design Sentiment Card line: graphic design for each Sentiment Card SKU, print-ready final art for the factory, and Photoshop automation (actions, batch scripts, variable-data templates) to generate Product Detail Page galleries on lovepop.com at scale. Maintain visual consistency across the Sentiment Card library while keeping each card emotionally resonant for its occasion or sentiment.
Digital & PDP Visual Backup (10% of time)    
Back up the Graphic Designer (Digital) on PDP visuals, hero images, and storytelling assets when the digital queue spikes. Ensure brand consistency between digital and print outputs by being fluent in both worlds.

Qualifications

Required — Experience

1–3 years of graphic design experience focused on print, packaging, or pre-press for consumer brands. Strong portfolio demonstrating production-ready files (not just concept work) — at least one project where you handled the full hand-off to a printer or factory.

Required — Tools & Print Knowledge

Proficient in Adobe Illustrator and InDesign (heavy use), Photoshop (including actions, batch processing, and variable-data templates), and Acrobat Pro pre-flight. Working knowledge of CMYK color management, bleed/trim/safe zones, paper stocks, and standard finishing options (foil, spot UV, emboss, die-cut). Working English proficiency for reading briefs and async communication with the Boston team.

Strong Plus — Sentiment Cards, Automation & AI Tools

Direct experience designing greeting cards, sentiment-driven product lines, or e-commerce PDP gallery assets at scale. Hands-on with Photoshop automation (scripting, variable-data templates) and AI design tools (Magnific, Adobe Firefly, Midjourney). Prior work with US/Western consumer brands is a plus.
