Senior Production Artist w/a Sense of Humor - Remote CAN/UK Remote Marketing Contract Bristol, England, United Kingdom Manchester, England, United Kingdom Toronto, Ontario, Canada Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Montreal, Quebec, Canada London, England, United Kingdom Description At Shinesty, our mission is to force the world to take itself less seriously. We make people laugh first and sell second. Our mothers don’t always approve of what we do, but the millions of people we’ve entertained over the years do. We’re looking for a Senior Production Artist who doesn’t just execute beautiful graphic design, but knows how to demand attention, tell big stories, and make people laugh and remember us before they purchase. This role sits at the center of how Shinesty looks, feels and sounds. This isn’t a “design what you’re told” role. This is a senior-level production art role responsible for translating creative direction into polished, on-brand assets at scale, while managing and mentoring other designers and production artists to do the same. Requirements How You’ll Leave Your Mark Production Art Creation & Design Execution (50%) - Design and deliver high-quality creative assets across all major channels: paid ads, email, onsite, web, brand decks, wholesale catalogs, in-store product displays and more. - Translate creative direction, briefs, and concepts from the Creative Production Director into launch-ready assets. - Design emails, ads, website visuals, and brand presentations that are both entertaining and conversion-aware. - Maintain extreme attention to detail across layout, typography, spacing, spelling, formatting, file setup and other brand guidelines. - Adapt creative efficiently based on feedback while preserving brand integrity and visual quality. - Produce a consistent, reliable volume of work without sacrificing craft. - Evolve our brand and creative strategies by regularly brainstorming and developing creatives and campaigns for various channels Creative Team Support & Management (25%) - Mentor, and support junior graphic designers and production artists - Provide clear, actionable feedback on WIPs and final assets to improve quality and consistency over time - Hold regular (quarterly+) design reviews to zoom out on what we’re producing and how to improve the team, the brand, and the individuals that make up both - Help review and QA creative before launch to ensure assets meet brand and performance standards Brand Consistency, Process & Collaboration (25%) - Act as a brand champion, ensuring all creative aligns with Shinesty’s visual identity and tone - Work closely with the Creative Production Director, Chief Creative Offer, and other creatives to uphold,apply and evolve/improve brand guidelines, templates, and systems - Collaborate with marketing, e-commerce, and channel owners to ensure assets are accurate, on-brief, and on time - Help evolve templates and production systems that allow the team to work faster and smarter - Champion smart, efficient use of tools (including and especially AI) to scale output while maintaining quality Who You Are: - An absolute savant in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and other relevant tools - First and foremost: a storyteller that knows how visuals + copy can be greater than the sum of their individual parts. - (Probably) Creatively repressed when it comes to the use of comedy in your current role - Funny, but strategic. Entertaining, but conversion-aware. - A strong creative who knows when to be clever—and when to pipe down and sell. - Comfortable testing ideas, learning fast, and knowing to dive deeper into an idea or move on. - Unafraid to try stuff that may and probably will fail. That just gets you excited to try more new things in pursuit of the next big creative win - Curious why something worked or didn’t—and excited to try again tomorrow. - Have 7+ years of experience in a senior or managerial role, at an ad agency and/or other internal brand team - A master project manager and communicator We’ll consider just about anyone We don’t care if your background is agency, in-house, freelance, or “I accidentally became really good at this.” We care if you: - Make us laugh - Get the Shinesty brand - Can explain why your approach to art direction will make Shinesty better - Want to build something original—even if that means failing along the way - Have a tenacious attitude for entertaining and know when to champion an idea all the way to launch Benefits - Competitive salary paid in USD - Fully remote — international candidates welcome - Flexible PTO, no accrual needed - Flexible working hours — focus on results - Access to all tools and resources required to be successful - A collaborative team that works hard, has fun, and takes pride in doing both
