Sock Club is a leader in the promotional products industry, known for custom sock designs that customers actually get excited about. We're growing fast, and so is our Design team, with clear structure, defined ownership, and real paths for designers to develop their skills.
We are looking for a self-motivated Production Sock Designer who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume environment and can turn around high-quality work quickly. You'll be producing designs that clients review and approve before they head to production, so precision and pace both matter - your work is often the last step before it becomes a real product.
Key Responsibilities
- Production & Volume: Create, modify, and finalize sock designs to meet daily turnaround goals and tight deadlines, managing a high volume of concurrent projects without sacrificing quality.
- Precision and Accuracy: Ensure all produced materials adhere to brand guidelines and maintain a high standard of accuracy.
- Collaboration: Partner with designers, Sales, and Marketing to understand project requirements, communicating directly with clients or through the Sales team to incorporate feedback.
- Adaptability: Adjust quickly to shifting scope, deadlines, feedback, and revision requests as projects evolve.
- Process Improvement: We're incorporating AI tools into parts of our design pipeline to cut down on repetitive work. You'll help identify where these tools speed things up so more of your time goes towards the judgement calls only a designer can make.
Qualifications
- Four-year degree in graphic design or a related field is recommended; 1-3 years of professional experience.
- A portfolio that demonstrates consistent, high-quality design work.
- Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator)
