• Technical Job Entry: Write complete, accurate, and specific job tickets for all assigned work.
• Financial Integrity: Review billing to capture missed charges (Author Alterations, expedited fees) and obtain authorizations for cost recoveries (overtime/extra costs).
• Quality Assurance: Participate in quality objectives and lead meetings with supervisors to mitigate technical risks or quality concerns.

Qualifications, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

• Tenured Expertise: Minimum of 10 years of experience in print production, specifically managing high-profile accounts.

• Pace: High-stress environment with frequent deadline pressures.
• Culture: DG3 is a fast-paced team where positive morale and independent problem-solving are highly valued.
