Version Management: Maintain organized file structures, naming conventions, and revision histories across multiple concurrent projects. Required Skills & Qualifications Adobe Creative Suite: Strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, with particular emphasis on InDesign and Adobe Acrobat Pro. InDesign Requirements: Strong working knowledge of Parent Pages, Paragraph and Character Styles, grids, and template setup. Experience with Form Design: Familiarity with multi‑page forms, creation of fillable form fields, tables, and structured content. Production Fundamentals: Understanding of CMYK vs RGB, bleeds, margins, safe zones, and DPI requirements for both print and screen. Attention to Detail: Ability to spot inconsistencies, formatting errors, and brand deviations across large sets of documents. Brand System Awareness: Ability to work within established guidelines and maintain consistency across high‑volume deliverables. Fast‑Paced Workflow: Comfort working in environments with shifting priorities and tight deadlines. Portfolio: Examples demonstrating clean typography, structured layouts, form design, as well as production‑focused work.
