The ideal candidate will have 3–5 years of professional design experience, ideally in publishing, editorial design, or related fields; proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite, especially InDesign, InCopy, and Photoshop; strong typography, layout, and image-editing skills, with a portfolio that demonstrates attention to detail and editorial sensibility; familiarity with project-management tools (e.g., Trello, Asana) and collaborative workflows with editors and writers; experience preparing and delivering production files for print, and reviewing/marking up printer’s proofs; an ability to manage multiple deadlines independently and communicate clearly across small teams. Bachelor’s degree in graphic design, visual communication, or equivalent professional experience is desired, with an aesthetic affinity for cultural and scientific publishing and enthusiasm for working in a small, creative environment.
