We are an established commercial printing company in New Haven looking for an experienced Customer Service / Inside Sales Representative to join our team.

This is an important customer-facing position for someone who understands the printing industry and enjoys helping customers take projects from initial request through successful completion.

The ideal candidate is organized, responsive, comfortable managing multiple jobs at once, and able to communicate confidently with customers about print specifications, pricing, timelines, materials, and production options.

The Person Who Will Thrive Here

You don’t need to be a high-pressure salesperson.

You do need to enjoy working with customers, solving problems, keeping projects organized, and helping customers figure out the best way to produce what they need.

We’re looking for someone who takes ownership. If a customer is waiting for an answer, you follow up. If specifications aren’t clear, you ask questions. If a job could run into a problem, you communicate before it becomes one. And when you see an opportunity to help a customer with another product or service, you’re comfortable having that conversation.

About Us

We are an established New Haven commercial printing company providing a wide variety of print, signage, mailing, and related services to businesses and organizations throughout Connecticut and beyond.

We are looking for someone who wants to become an important part of our team and build long-term relationships with our customers.
