Production Designer, Creative Lab

About the role

Creative Lab is Ovative's in-house creative engine - built on our vision of Modern Making. As part of the broader Creative Team (Influencer + Creative Lab), we unite brand strategy, cultural relevance, creators, AI enablement, and strategic media to create ideas people care about within systems designed to evolve. We are seeking a Production Designer who thrives at the intersection of craft, precision, and speed. This is a maker who takes pride in flawless execution - someone who can take a concept from an Art Director, Designer, or Production Lead and bring it to life across formats, channels, and platform specs without missing a detail. You understand that great production isn't just about output volume; it's about protecting the integrity of an idea all the way to final delivery. You bring a strong eye for layout, typography, design systems, motion, and production fundamentals - and a fluency in AI tools that accelerate and enhance your workflow. You're the person the team counts on to get it done right, every time. Responsibilities of a Production Designer: Execute high-quality, on-brand creative assets across digital, social, paid media, email, and presentation channels, building from established concepts, templates, and brand systems with precision and care. Design and animate paid social and digital assets across platform-specific placements, applying strong fundamentals in layout, typography, hierarchy, spacing, and visual consistency throughout all production work. Resize, adapt, version, and scale campaign creative across formats, specs, and aspect ratios - maintaining design integrity from original concept to final file. Support dynamic creative, design systems, and templated production workflows that allow campaigns to scale efficiently. Build and traffic HTML5 display banner ads to platform specifications for Google, Meta, and programmatic channels, with a solid understanding of animation, file weight, and technical requirements. Leverage AI tools and generative workflows to accelerate asset creation, explore visual options, and expand production capacity without sacrificing craft. Partner closely with Art Directors, Designers, and Production Leads throughout the process - flagging inconsistencies, raising quality concerns, and contributing ideas that strengthen the final output. Maintain organized, well-structured file systems and asset libraries through consistent naming, archiving, and versioning that makes the whole team faster. Manage a high volume of concurrent projects with clarity and accountability, proactively communicating timelines, progress, and risks that could affect delivery. Incorporate feedback and revisions quickly and thoughtfully, treating iteration as part of the process. Stay current on platform specs, animation requirements, file formats, and production best practices across Display, Meta, Google, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, and emerging channels. Contribute to a culture of craft and continuous improvement - sharing tools, workflow shortcuts, and learnings that make the Creative Lab sharper and faster.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, or a related field.
• 2-4 years of experience in an agency, in-house creative studio, or brand environment, with a proven track record of executing high-quality digital production work at volume.
• A portfolio demonstrating strong design fundamentals, meticulous attention to detail, and experience producing assets across digital channels - including work built within brand systems and templates.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Animate, After Effects) and Figma, with the ability to work quickly and accurately across all tools. Experience with Celtra or similar creative automation platforms is a plus.
