Focus: Editorial Design

At Near, we help top talent in Latin America find remote roles with US companies. Our mission is to create better lives by fostering a remote work culture that transcends borders.

Overview

We’re looking for a Production Designer Team Lead who combines strong production design skills with a sharp eye for quality control. You’ll still do hands-on production work in InDesign, but a core part of your role will be reviewing and QA’ing the work of a group of offshore production designers. You’ll collaborate with internal stakeholders to uphold design standards, catch errors, and help optimize the production process. This role is ideal for a senior/strong mid-level production designer who enjoys mentoring, coaching through feedback, and maintaining high standards at scale.

Responsibilities

• Produce multi-page booklets and related materials using established templates and brand guidelines.
• Review and perform quality checks on books produced by 8-10 offshore production designers
