Description
Looking for a job to get you out of bed?Casper is seeking a Production Designer to join our growing Environment’s team. This role requires a highly motivated and talented designer with a comprehensive understanding of production file set-up, for both 2D and 3D pieces, to create a unified brand look and feel across our retail fleet. You will work closely with the Visual Designers to produce print-ready files and manage the production process from start to finish. The details are what matter to you (nothing is ever too small) and you have an understanding of how thoughtful design can influence and strengthen a brand.
Casper (casper.com) is a global sleep company that launched in 2014 with an obsessively engineered, outrageously comfortable mattress sold directly to consumers. Its critically acclaimed sleep surface was developed in-house, has a sleek design, and is delivered in a small, "how did they do that?"-sized box. The company is one of the fastest-growing consumer brands of all time, and its product line has expanded to include sheets, pillows, a matching foundation, and a dog mattress. Casper was named one of Fast Company's 50 Most Innovative Companies in 2017, and its eponymous mattress was crowned one of TIME Magazine's Best Inventions.
We are deeply committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce so that we represent all those who dream big equally.
