JOB OVERVIEW

Senior Pre-Press & Artwork
Remote, Philippines | Australian Printing Group

**at the start of your cover letter, name one city in Australia.

Umbra Core Collective is looking for an experienced Senior Pre-Press & Artwork professional to join our remote Philippines team and work closely with our Australian production and account management teams.
This is a hands-on senior technical role for someone who understands commercial printing, knows how to prepare artwork correctly for production and can take ownership of pre-press quality and daily workflow.
You will not just prepare artwork. You will also help coordinate the Pre-Press team's workload, check work before it enters production, coach other operators and identify artwork or workflow problems before they cause delays or rework.
What You’ll Be Doing
• Pre-flight and prepare customer artwork for production.
• Check files for bleed, resolution, fonts, colour, dimensions and production requirements.
• Amend artwork within approved job requirements.
• Prepare customer proofs and production-ready files.
• Review artwork completed by other Pre-Press Operators.
• Allocate and prioritise daily pre-press work.
• Identify errors before jobs reach production.
• Hold or reject artwork that is not production-ready.
• Maintain accurate job and workflow information in PrintIQ.
• Work closely with Australian Account Managers and Production teams.
• Provide technical coaching and guidance to other Pre-Press Operators.
• Communicate with customers by email where authorised for artwork and proof clarification.
• Assist with artwork requirements for outsourced production.
• Help improve pre-press systems, procedures and quality standards.
What We’re Looking For
You will ideally have:
• Strong commercial pre-press experience.
• Advanced skills in professional artwork and pre-press software.
• Excellent understanding of print-ready artwork.
• Strong pre-flight and proofing skills.
• Knowledge of colour, resolution, bleed, fonts and print specifications.
• Experience in commercial print production.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• Strong written English communication.
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines.
• Confidence checking and reviewing other people's artwork.
• Ability to identify problems and take action early.
• Experience working independently and remotely.
Experience with PrintIQ, Australian print businesses, outsourced print production, digital print, offset print, wide-format or garment-decoration workflows will be highly regarded.
This Role Will Suit Someone Who
• Is technically strong but still enjoys hands-on artwork work.
• Takes ownership rather than waiting for problems to be discovered.
• Can coordinate workflow without needing to formally manage staff.
• Is confident giving constructive technical feedback.
• Understands that errors in Pre-Press affect every department downstream.
• Communicates early when something is unclear or at risk.
• Wants to contribute ideas and improve the way work is done.
Our RARE Values
At Umbra Core Collective, the way we work is guided by four values:
Reliability: We follow through and communicate early.
Achievement: We take pride in high-quality work and continuous improvement.
Resourcefulness: We solve problems and keep work moving.
Expansion: We learn, adapt and remain open to better ways of working.
Working Arrangement
• Remote position based in the Philippines.
• Work aligned with Australian business hours.
• Regular online communication with Australian team members.
• Senior hands-on role within a multi-brand production environment.
• Independent contractor / consultant engagement.
Why Join Us?
You will have the opportunity to take ownership of an important technical stage in our production workflow, work closely with experienced Australian printing professionals and contribute to improving the quality and efficiency of a growing multi-brand organisation.
Apply
Please submit your CV/resume together with a brief introduction outlining your commercial pre-press experience.
Where possible, tell us about:
• the types of printing you have prepared files for;
• your experience checking and correcting artwork;
• your experience reviewing the work of other operators; and
• any experience working with Australian printing businesses or remote teams.
This gives you a strong internal JD + candidate-facing advertisement from the same role specification, while keeping the advertisement easier to read and more attractive to experienced Philippines-based candidates.
