Kansas City, MO | On-site | Full-time | Hourly
We’re looking for a hands-on Production Lead to run daily operations at our Kansas City manufacturing location. This role is ideal for someone who knows production inside and out — printing, cutting, finishing, and assembly.
You’ll be responsible for maintaining and running equipment, ensuring quality, managing materials, and organizing work so it's completed accurately and on schedule. This is not a desk job — this is a working lead role for someone who likes building great products and keeping things running smoothly.
What You’ll Do
Operate large-format printers, cutters, and finishing equipment
Execute daily production schedules and priorities
Perform quality checks on all finished work
Maintain and troubleshoot production equipment
Manage materials, inventory, and ordering
Keep the shop clean, organized, and efficient
Communicate job status and production needs clearly
Support and guide 1–2 production team members
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of hands-on production or print experience
Strong attention to detail and pride in quality work
Experience maintaining production equipment
Ability to manage multiple jobs and deadlines
Comfortable working independently and taking ownership
Clear communication and strong organizational skills
Why This Role
High level of ownership and autonomy
Small, focused production team
Opportunity to shape and grow a local operation
Work with a company that values craftsmanship, innovation, and collaboration
