  • Review proofs, prototypes, and mockups to ensure accuracy and excellence before production. 
  • Proactively troubleshoot production challenges and identify efficient, innovative solutions. 
  • Collaborate with finance teams to track budgets, reconcile costs, and forecast production spend. 
  • Support the creative team by exploring new print technologies, sustainable materials, and production innovations. 
  • Balance multiple priorities and deadlines across concurrent projects with varying complexity and timelines. 

What you'll bring:

  • 5+ years of print production, print management, or marketing production experience (agency or in-house environment preferred). 
  • Deep knowledge of printing processes, materials, and finishing techniques (including 4-color, digital, offset, large format, and specialty finishes). 
  • Proven ability to manage multiple vendors, bids, and large-scale projects simultaneously. 
  • Strong project management, budgeting, and negotiation skills. 
  • A collaborative, solutions-focused mindset — able to adapt when plans shift and bring clarity in ambiguous situations. 
  • Excellent communication skills and the confidence to advise cross-functional partners. 
  • Meticulous attention to detail, time management, and quality standards. 
  • Familiarity with sustainability practices, packaging, or fulfillment logistics a plus. 

If you are a creative professional with a proven track record in print production management we invite you to apply and contribute to our innovative and dynamic creative team.
