• Facilitate collaborative design sessions using whiteboarding, journey mapping, and co-design techniques to build customer alignment and buy-in.
• Prepare and review production-ready design files, including preflight checks, color correction, proof generation, and application to pre-set templates.
• Ensure accuracy and quality of all design files handed off for production, adhering to prepress procedures for digital and non-digital printing workflows.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, engineers, print production teams, and clients to ensure design solutions are technically feasible and aligned with brand standards.
• Maintain and evolve design systems, style guides, and UX standards to ensure consistency across all customer touchpoints.
• Utilize AI-assisted design tools to accelerate iteration and prototyping while maintaining a human-centered focus throughout the design process.

Other Important Responsibilities

• Timely corrective action response and resolution to relevant project situations.
• Engage and support companywide Safety and Housekeeping Programs.

• 3+ years of professional UX design experience, including user research, wireframing, prototyping, and usability testing.
• Experience working in or with a print production or manufacturing environment is strongly preferred.
• Proficiency in design tools such as Figma, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and prototyping platforms.
• Solid understanding of digital prepress processes, color management, color correction, and proof generation.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct user research, develop personas, and translate insights into actionable design decisions.
• Knowledge of accessibility standards and inclusive design principles.
• Familiarity with compliance and security considerations relevant to card manufacturing (e.g., PCI-DSS, ISO standards) is a plus.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy across both UX and production deliverables.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to present and defend design decisions to varied audiences.
• Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a deadline-driven environment.
• Ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities, client feedback, and production requirements.
• Basic understanding of HTML/CSS or front-end development concepts is a plus for developer handoff.
