Vendor & Partner Coordination Collaborate with printers, fabricators, and production partners to ensure feasibility and flawless execution. Review estimates, negotiate where appropriate, and guide vendor teams through technical requirements. Troubleshoot production issues and quickly deliver solutions under tight timelines.

Track timelines, identify risks, maintain proactive communication, and ensure alignment across teams. Maintain rigorous detail, organization, and version control. Continuous Growth & Innovation Stay current on materials, substrates, production technologies, and sustainable print solutions. Recommend process improvements, workflow efficiencies, and vendor innovations. Support the evolution and modernization of Pavone Group’s merchandising production capabilities. Cross-Agency Collaboration Partner closely with Creative Directors, Designers, Account Teams, and Project Managers. Educate teams on best practices in retail/POS production and print constraints. Requirements 5+ years of experience in print production—ideally with strong exposure to retail, POS, or large-format environments.

High proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Acrobat). Proven experience preparing and releasing print-ready mechanicals. Exceptional attention to detail in proofing, color accuracy, and technical specifications. Strong project management and problem-solving skills. Ability to manage multiple priorities and collaborate cross-functionally. Hybrid availability: In-office Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Why Join Pavone Group?
