  • Obtain approval of concept by submitting rough layouts for approval
  • Test graphics across various media
  • Amend designs after feedback
  • Work with copywriters and marketers to produce final designs
  • Prepare finished assets that adhere to established style guidelines and required technical specifications
  • Manage archives of graphic design assets and materials
  • Maintain technical knowledge with ongoing professional education
  • Contribute to team effort by accomplishing related tasks as needed

 Skills and abilities you'll need
  • 3-5 years experience in professional commercial design
  • A portfolio that demonstrates strong graphic design and layout skills
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Deadline and detail-oriented, with the ability to thrive in a remote work environment
  • Creative and analytical skills
  • Ability to absorb and apply constructive criticism from peers
  • Persistence and resilience (a sense of humor helps)
  • Extensive knowledge of desktop publishing tools and graphic design software (such as Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Inkscape, GIMP)
  • Working knowledge of CSS3, HTML5 and JavaScript
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Design, Marketing, or a related discipline a plus, but not required
  • Experience working with WordPress templates a plus

 Apply for this position

 Please send a cover letter and resume (including a link to your portfolio) to jobs@manning.com with Graphic Designer in the subject line. This is a remote work opportunity.
