Ensure graphics stay within project budgets while maintaining Steelhead production standards

Support show floor needs including replacement graphics or last-minute production requirements

Collaborate with design, project management, and production teams to keep graphics aligned with overall exhibit execution

Support critical show deadlines that may occasionally require evening or weekend availability to ensure graphics are production-ready

What You Bring

Experience managing graphics production, print workflows, or large-format graphics

Strong proficiency with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign

Understanding of PMS colors, CMYK workflows, and color consistency across materials

Knowledge of graphic substrates including fabric, PVC, vinyl, plexi, and other large-format materials

Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously

Strong communication skills and a customer-service mindset when working with internal teams

High attention to detail, especially when reviewing color, sizing, and print specifications

Ability to stay organized while coordinating multiple vendors and production timelines

Physical Requirements
