Past Experiences

Production Environment - Preferably large format printing
Maintaining Machines with TPM philosophy (Total Preventative Maintenance)
Corel Draw mastery - Okay if you are comfortable with Adobe Suite but has to be willing to learn CorelDraw because our suppliers/vendors insist on CorelDraw.
Exposure to high pressure production environments and willingness to be the difference maker => Accountability. As we grow everyone in the company has less time and if the individual contributors don’t do their work with high fidelity (ownership and understanding) then all the pressure falls onto supervisors and leaders. Individual contributors should be able to absorb pressure and help the leaders meet targets, not pass on the pressure. Most designers that fail in this role might be doing their work but failure to absorb pressure is the reason why they are not viewed by management as being leadership material.
Attention to detail and the ability to review/enforce rules agreed on with the management team.
Being able to lead a group of less experienced production team members and mentoring them to improve their own time management and understanding of production challenges.
