What will you do?

A day in the life of an Associate Production Designer (Print, POS & Digital) at Altra looks a little like this. You’re highly detail-oriented and take pride in delivering accurate, polished work.

You’re comfortable working within established brand systems, translating creative direction into polished, production-ready deliverables. You’re organized, efficient, and able to manage a steady flow of asset production. You collaborate well, communicate clearly, understand how strong production supports the final brand experience, and have a passion for (or genuine interest in) running, the outdoors, apparel and footwear.
