## Role Overview

Schumacher Hospitality is growing its custom carpet program and is looking for an Associate Production Designer to sit at the center of it. This role serves Schumacher Hospitality but sits organizationally within, and reports into, the Director, Custom Production, Carpets on the Patterson Flynn Custom team — giving the role direct access to Patterson Flynn's custom production expertise while dedicating its work to Hospitality's carpet projects. You'll own the design and artwork side of those projects — translating client specifications into production-ready renderings — while also supporting the production coordination that gets a design from concept to installed floor. Day to day, you'll work closely with the Patterson Flynn Custom team and overseas mill partners, and partner with the Hospitality sales team, Project Managers, Design Director, and Portfolio Director to bring client carpet designs to life.

Vendor & Cross-Team Communication
