Job description

Whether you have a year or many years of print experience, we can provide growth opportunities and will cross train you in different functions of our Digital Print Facility. We are often asked if this role is in a store, it is not. Staples has dedicated print facilities to handle large print orders that originate from our stores. For some openings, we can be flexible to work around your schedule.

As a Print Production Facility Lead, you will be collaborative and inclusive in helping our customers meet their copy and print needs while being part of a fun, team-oriented culture. Our print facilities are not typically customer facing as larger orders from our stores are sent to our print facilities to complete. You’ll produce and finish large copy, print and signage orders coming into our local Print Facility using high volume digital and signage equipment. You’ll ensure that the production team is providing all customers with high quality print orders while coordinating & prioritizing all aspects of the production process.

Get great perks.

• Full-time, growth opportunities, weekly pay, and generous paid time off; hiring immediately
• Full medical benefits package, 401(k) with company match, and many more benefit options
• Associate store discount and more perks (discounts on mobile plans and other retailers, etc.)
