Print Producer Lead, Design Studio

Responsibilities

• Lead budget forecasting, resourcing, actualization, and spend allocation at a project level
• Expert level knowledge of retouching and print production, including RGB to CMYK conversion, printing processes, securing a drawdown and final color matching approvals, and solving on-press issues
• Expert level knowledge of materials, papers, substrates, inks, coatings and finishing techniques — including specialty applications such as spot UV, foil stamping, embossing/debossing, soft-touch coatings, and metallic inks
• Working knowledge of packaging sustainability standards — FSC/PEFC certifications, recycled content requirements, EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) compliance, and corporate sustainability commitments
• Intermediate level knowledge of CGI render production and digital asset pipeline for hero imagery, including product renders and illustrations used on packaging surfaces
• Generalist level of knowledge in business affairs, copywriting, community management, design, engineering, product development, and strategy
• Leverage existing relationships or create new ones with other Meta teams in order to ensure production goals and delivery — including cross-functional collaboration, hand-off or sunsetting during a typical product lifecycle
• Manage presentation and feedback stages with key stakeholders (retouching, finishing, material, and proof reviews)
• Collaborate with program managers to manage print production timelines for packaging programs based on project specs and distribution plans
• Coordinate with Industrial Design and hardware engineering teams on material compatibility, ink/foil adhesion testing, and print durability across mixed-material substrates (i.e., plastics, laminated paper constructs, etc.)
• Manage multi-SKU and regional variant production — including multilingual adaptations, region-specific regulatory panels, and colorway-driven packaging variations
• Oversee prototyping, sample management, and physical proof workflows — coordinating with cross-functional partners, contract manufacturers and pre-press vendors across global supply chains (often APAC-based)
• Helps make the entire producer group better through recruiting, mentoring, process refinement, etc.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of professional experience in production (as a producer in title)
• Past experience working directly in technology — whether in an agency, brand marketing, production vendor, or start-up environment
• Has a track record of repeatedly delivering meaningful results or multiple large-scale systems that have demonstrably impacted a brand's trajectory
• Experience working with top pre-press and printing vendors — including familiarity with global print supply chains and contract manufacturing coordination for consumer electronics
• Expert-level understanding of print specifications for packaging — including understanding of dielines, substrate selection, ink systems (conventional, UV, digital), and finishing processes
• Basic knowledge of packaging testing protocols — including drop testing, ink adhesion, lightfastness, and rub resistance as they relate to print quality durability in shipping and retail environments
• A cross-functional manager able to work autonomously in a fast-paced, often ambiguous, start-up environment
• Self-driven, organized, detail-oriented, and able to multitask
