Manning Publications needs a Graphic Designer to join our team. We’ve been teaching technical topics to software professionals for over two decades, and we believe our books and videos are the best in the business.

We need a Graphic Designer to create engaging and on-brand graphics for a variety of media, but primarily for digital advertising. We’re looking for someone who can take direction from written or spoken ideas and convert them seamlessly into images, layouts and other designs. The successful candidate should have an intimate understanding of how marketing campaigns work, especially in the e-commerce arena. We work in a fast-paced environment, so the ideal Graphic Designer will be able to hit the ground running as soon as we conceive of a new project. Your graphics should capture the attention of those who see them and communicate the right message. For this, you need to have a creative flair and a strong ability to translate requirements into design. If you can communicate well and work methodically as part of a team, we’d like to meet you.

  • Prepare finished assets that adhere to established style guidelines and required technical specifications

Skills and Qualifications

  • A portfolio that demonstrates strong graphic design and layout skills
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Deadline and detail-oriented, with the ability to thrive in a remote work environment
  • Creative and analytical skills

  • Persistence and resilience (a sense of humor helps)
  • Extensive knowledge of desktop publishing tools and graphic design software (such as Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Inkscape, GIMP)
