Production Designer

Job Description:

The Graphic Designer II supports The Aaon Group’s internal and external communications by producing high-quality visual content across a wide range of media types and formats. This role serves as a versatile design resource for both customer-facing and internal initiatives, moving between digital assets, email campaigns, video/TV screen graphics, print collateral, flyers, signage, and promotional merchandise. The ideal candidate brings strong design fundamentals, versatility across formats and platforms, and an understanding of accessibility and multi-language/localization considerations in visual design. Success in this role requires the ability to manage a high volume of concurrent requests, adapt quickly to shifting priorities, and consistently deliver polished work under tight deadlines.

The Graphic Designer II plays a critical role in producing accurate, on-brand, and accessible visual content across a broad range of formats and channels. This role is high-volume and fast-paced by nature, requiring efficient production, sound judgment on prioritization, and consistent quality across many concurrent, smaller-scope projects rather than a small number of large-scale initiatives.

Primary duties may include, but are not limited to:

• Design and produce visual content across a wide variety of media, including digital assets, mass email/marketing communications, TV and digital signage/screens, print materials, flyers, and signage

• Design with accessibility best practices in mind, including color contrast, legibility, and formatting considerations for diverse audiences

• Adapt and format designs to support multiple languages and localization requirements

• Support both sales/customer-facing initiatives and internal communications and branded initiatives

• Design and coordinate promotional merchandise and swag in alignment with brand standards

• Manage a high volume of concurrent, small-to-medium scope design requests with efficiency and accuracy

• Prioritize and adjust workload in response to shifting business needs and competing deadlines

• Ensure design output is consistently on-brand, accurate, and production-ready across all formats

• Maintain and organize graphic resources, templates, and files for easy access and reuse

• Collaborate with internal stakeholders across departments to understand project needs, timelines, and constraints

• Troubleshoot format- and platform-specific production requirements (print specs, email rendering, screen resolutions, file types)

• Participate in professional development activities
