About the role
Adobe Creative SuiteDesign Systems
A fast-growing, multi-brand winery and restaurant group is looking for a detail-obsessed Menu Production Designer to keep its menus accurate, on-brand and on time. Menus change constantly: seasonal updates, new items, pricing changes, state-specific requirements and test menus for select locations. You'll be the person who turns those changes around quickly and cleanly.
This is a true production role. Design systems and templates are already in place; your job is to execute within them at volume, with precision. Hours flex with the menu calendar, heavier around seasonal launches and tests, lighter in between.
- Location: Remote - must be based in the US and work CST
- Hours: 20–35 hrs/week - there will be strong fluctation depending on exact needs 
- 3-month initial contract, strong likelihood of extension to 6–12 months
- Rate: $38–50/hr
What You'll Do
- Update and version menus across locations: seasonal menus, new items, removed items, pricing changes and monthly features
- Build test menus for one or two locations at a time, adjusting layouts as items are added, swapped or removed
- Apply state- and market-specific requirements accurately across menu versions
- Produce collateral that supports the menu, such as chef recommendations, wine pairing inserts, tasting menus and holiday menus
- Work directly with the menu and strategy team to receive changes, ask the right questions and turn around revisions quickly
- Prepare print-ready files with correct bleeds, color profiles and preflight standards for a local print partner
- Proof every version carefully for pricing, spelling, alignment and consistency before release
- Keep files, templates and versions organized so the latest menu is always easy to find
What We're Looking For
- 1–3 years of experience in production design, menu design or high-volume print production
- Strong proficiency in Adobe InDesign, plus working knowledge of Illustrator and Photoshop
- Solid understanding of print production: bleeds, color profiles, image resolution and file packaging
- An exceptional eye for detail; you catch the misaligned price and the missing accent mark
- Comfort working within existing templates and brand guidelines rather than reinventing them
- Ability to manage many small, fast-turn requests at once without losing track of versions
- Clear, responsive communication with non-design stakeholders
- Restaurant, hospitality or retail menu experience is a strong plusYou'll Thrive Here If…
- You find satisfaction in getting things exactly right, version after version
- You stay calm when a launch plan changes the day before it's due
- You like structure and keep your files tidier than anyone else on the team
- You can work independently and remotely while staying tightly in sync with your partners
