This position ensures files are production-ready, brand-compliant, visually consistent, and technically accurate while supporting marketing initiatives across the organization. The Production Designer collaborates with the marketing communications team and operational partners to manage creative assets and implement large-scale updates across multiple platforms and materials.

Complete quality checks for layout, typography, supplied content, image resolution, color, bleed, links, and file formats; resolve discrepancies before final delivery.
• Maintain organized, current, and searchable digital asset libraries using established naming, folder, metadata, and version-control conventions. Clearly distinguish working files from approved final assets, archive superseded materials, and ensure authorized users can locate and retrieve current files.

• Partner with marketing communications and operational departments to gather information, confirm content requirements, clarify conflicting feedback, and implement approved content updates and revisions accurately. Verify that required content and design approvals are documented before releasing final production files.
• Coordinate with internal stakeholders and external vendors to ensure production files meet technical specifications and project requirements. Review vendor proofs against approved files, resolve routine technical questions, and coordinate final file acceptance.
• Assist in the creation and maintenance of templates, style guides, libraries and production workflows that support efficiency and brand consistency.
• Ensure all visual materials uphold PHS brand standards across print, digital and social media applications.
• Identify recurring production issues and recommend practical improvements to templates, tools, and workflows that reduce avoidable rework, improve turnaround, and maintain quality.
