  • In-depth knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite, including InDesign and Photoshop.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, and confidence in dealing with stakeholders at all levels.
  • Effective time management, proactive problem-solving, and the ability to deliver projects on time and within budget.
  • The ability to collaborate with design agencies, freelancers, and other creatives such as photographers and illustrators.
Key Qualifications

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced individual who can demonstrate:

  • A strong portfolio of design work, showcasing expertise in book cover design and project management.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build strong relationships with authors, designers, and other stakeholders.
  • Proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite, particularly InDesign and Photoshop.
  • Experience of working in a fast-paced design environment, with a strong focus on meeting deadlines and delivering high-quality results.
