Bilingual InDesign Designer for Books

Summary We're an established health and natural-remedies brand expanding into the Spanish-language market (LATAM + US Hispanic). Our English-language books and funnels already generate meaningful revenue. We're now building the Spanish arm and need a bilingual designer who can take ownership of the layout work end-to-end. This is freelance, project-based, results-driven work. Scope - 12 ebooks: full formatting from translated text. - Marketing assets in Spanish: book covers and back covers, product mockups, funnel banners, sales-page graphics, ad image variations. What You'll Do - Take a proofread Spanish manuscript and produce a print-ready Spanish version that matches the typographic and layout quality of the original. - Maintain brand consistency: fonts, palette, master pages, paragraph/character styles, image treatments. - Adjust layout when Spanish runs longer than English (typically 5–15%) without adding pages. - Design or adapt Spanish-language marketing assets (covers, mockups, ad imagery). - Coordinate directly with our Spanish proofreader for in-layout copy fixes, and with our internal product team for source files, fonts, and brand assets. - Deliver print-ready PDFs, source files, and packaged fonts. Must-Haves - Native or near-native Spanish (neutral LATAM preferred). - Professional-level written English (work from English master files, English briefs and coordination with english speaking teams). - Advanced Adobe InDesign: master pages, paragraph/character styles, GREP styles, preflight, packaging. - Proven book or long-form publication layout work. - Comfort working inside a brand system someone else built. - Strong attention to detail: widows, orphans, kerning, hyphenation, accent marks. Nice to Haves - Experience with health, wellness, or natural-remedies content. - Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for cover and marketing work. - Experience preparing files for international print houses. Engagement - Freelance, project-based. Results-based engagement. - Estimated workload: 20–40 hrs/week. - Remote, async-friendly. Latin America time zones preferred for overlap with the Spanish Speaking team. - Payment via Upwork - NDA required before starting on any production files.
