Manufacturing Workflow Admin

MOO set out to shake up the world of print back in 2006. And we've come a long way since. Today we're a 400 + strong team (we're thinking of getting matching jackets) who create print and digital products for companies of all sizes - from Google and AirBnB to the guy who makes those amazing prints you found at a craft fair.

Our global HQ is in London, UK, while we also have premises in Dagenham. In the US, you'll find us in Boston, MA, as well as Lincoln, RI and Denver, CO.

We're making new and exciting things - and we could really do with your help.

MOOs diverse manufacturing team is composed of quality and process engineers, prepress specialists, manufacturing leads, technology engineers, and supply chain specialists. We span two geographies (US and UK) and are responsible for the delivery of premium print and hard good products to our customers. We're looking for a Manufacturing Workflow Technician to join our team.

Here at MOO, we're always looking to automate and bring more digital workflow tools into the way we print our products. We've been exploring what to buy, what to build, and we've naturally settled somewhere in the middle. We've been using a new manufacturing system that solves some, but not all of our problems. In this role, you'll be working in an innovative part of MOO's manufacturing team. You will build, improve, assess and productionize new workflow tools to improve how we manufacture our products for our largest manufacturing site.

This is an exciting opportunity in our East Providence, Rhode Island facility. We're looking for an energetic problem solver who is comfortable working independently and collaboratively across functions to advance MOO's manufacturing and production platform.

• Troubleshoot internal workflow system challenges and issues in partnership with manufacturing and technical teams
• Day to day troubleshooting with files/artwork issues in production.
