About the role

The Specialist, Platform Art Production supports the Platform Art Studio in the versioning, finishing, and delivery of a high-volume of artwork across A+E’s multiplatform business. Working closely with the Senior Art Director, this role helps translate platform needs, partner specs, and creative direction into polished, accurate, delivery-ready assets.

This role is ideal for a thoughtful, digitally-fluent production artist who can execute accurately at volume while also thinking critically about how the work gets done. You’ll work closely with the Senior Art Director, helping bring platform art requests across the finish line, maintaining quality and consistency, and identifying opportunities to make workflows clearer, faster, and more scalable.

• Help document best practices, repeatable processes, templates, and production standards for the Platform Art Studio.
