  • Maintain production schedules, dashboards, version control, approvals, and release-readiness documentation across concurrent projects.

  • Execute established print production, quality assurance, errata, and document-release processes consistently and identify production risks before they affect delivery.

  • Manage cover production from initial request through final approval and coordinate print-file corrections and issue resolution through established workflows.

  • Manage NIMAC submissions and ensure applicable accessibility and compliance requirements are met.

  • Partner with Product and Engineering teams to improve production tools, workflows, reporting, and operational visibility.

  • Identify opportunities to automate repetitive production activities and leverage AI for quality assurance, metadata validation, document comparison, and other production workflows.

  • Recommend scalable operational improvements that reduce manual work, increase quality, accelerate delivery, and improve visibility across the print production lifecycle.

Requirements

  • 3–5+ years of experience in print production, publishing operations, production project management, or a closely related field.

  • Demonstrated experience coordinating multiple complex publishing or production projects simultaneously, managing competing priorities and deadlines.

  • Strong knowledge of print production, prepress, quality assurance, version control, release processes, and vendor management.

  • Proven ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and external partners in fast-moving operational environments.

  • Excellent project management, organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills, with exceptional attention to detail.

  • Experience with project management and workflow platforms such as Jira, Airtable, Smartsheet, Workfront, or similar tools.

  • Experience improving operational processes through automation, technology, or workflow redesign.

  • Ability to identify production risks, establish clear ownership, and drive issues through resolution.

  • Familiarity with K–12 educational publishing is highly desirable.

  • Experience with accessibility requirements or NIMAC submissions is a strong advantage.

  • Experience with Adobe Acrobat, InDesign workflows, print preflight tools, or similar publishing technologies is beneficial.

  • Familiarity with AI tools, workflow automation, Google Apps Script, Python, APIs, or related technologies is a plus.

  • A systems-oriented mindset and interest in continuously improving how production work is planned, executed, measured, and scaled.

Benefits

  • Competitive annual salary of $85,000–$130,000 , depending on geographic location, experience, seniority, and demonstrated capabilities.

  • Meaningful equity participation.

  • Medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance options, including PPO, HMO, and HSA plans.

  • 401(k) retirement plan.

  • One Medical membership in participating locations.

  • Flexible vacation policy, subject to internal approval, with employees averaging approximately four weeks off per year.

  • 10 paid sick days per year, prorated based on start date.

  • Paid holidays and paid bereavement leave.

  • Paid family leave following birth or adoption, including at least 16 weeks for birthing parents and 10 weeks for caretaker parents, designed to supplement applicable state benefits.

  • Commuter and flexible spending account (FSA) plans.

  • Fully remote work arrangement within the United States.
