About The Role
Alliance Nationwide Exposition is looking for a Graphic Designer / Prepress Production Artist for our Las Vegas team.

The ideal candidate brings the full package: strong creative design and prepress ability, and an understanding of how graphics are printed, cut, finished, and installed.

If you can design clean event graphics and build accurate files that move smoothly through production, you are the person we want to talk to first.

This is not just a concept design role. We need someone who understands scale, resolution, bleed, panels, cut paths, proofing, and production-ready artwork.

Strong on either side of the workflow? We want to hear from you too. Creative designers who want to build production knowledge and prepress techs who want to level up creatively can both be a great fit.

Key Responsibilities

Design and prepare graphics for trade shows, exhibits, and live events.

Build production-ready files for print, cut, finishing, and installation.

Review artwork for scale, resolution, bleed, color, fonts, links, panels, and cut requirements.

Set up proofs, templates, layouts, panels, and final output files.

Prepare banners, booth signage, backdrops, wall graphics, displays, and exhibit visuals.

Account for finishing details such as pole pockets, grommets, and double-sided graphics.

Coordinate with company stakeholders to keep jobs accurate, clear, and moving.

Manage multiple jobs in a deadline-driven production environment.

Requirements

Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and Acrobat experience.

Large format print, trade show, exhibit, or event graphics experience preferred.

Comfortable with scale, bleeds, panels, crop marks, cut paths, and production specs.

Prepress experience with file checking, cleanup, proofing, layouts, and print/cut setup.

Flatbed printer, roll-to-roll, Summa cutter, CNC cutter, or finishing experience is a plus.

Accurate, organized, detail-focused, and able to work quickly.

Good communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.

What We Offer

Competitive pay based on experience

Comprehensive benefits package offered

Dynamic, collaborative environment in the live events industry

Opportunity to grow your creative and production skill set

How to Apply
Submit your resume and a portfolio of actual completed work. Conceptual work can be great to look at, but we are most interested in projects you contributed to that were produced, printed, installed, displayed, or used for an actual client or event.

Relevant design, prepress, production art, or large format samples are preferred.
