We’re looking for someone who is ambitious, thoughtful, organized, self-starter, punctual, conscientious, efficient, flexible, pays attention to detail, has a sense of humor, loves BIG dogs; someone who is positive, can easily shift from task to task throughout the day and isn’t afraid to ask for help or offer suggestions if they see something that needs improvement. Would prefer someone with a creative background who is willing to brainstorm and talk through ideas. We need a helper who can problem-solve and thinks projects through completely and efficiently. Ideal candidate would work two and a half to four days a week, depending on workload and efficiency. Experience with quality control, paper and crafting desired but not required.

This is a production helper position. You most likely won't be printing on a press (unless you have years of experience on a C+P). However, you may be trained and operating an industrial cutter and scorer, depending on skill set. If you're open to working a some retail hours in our cute brick + mortar, that's an option too.
