Production Manager

Be a Part of Something Amazing
In between supporting a global sales force (that we call "demonstrators") and creating the world's best stamps, ink, and paper, we carve out a little time for parties, perks, and basking in the glory of an amazing work/life balance.
Sound like something you could get behind? Good. Because we're looking for people just like you - who are good at what they do and are passionate about helping others.
Did We Mention the Perks?
Here are a few of the other perks we offer:
• A wicked-awesome benefits package (go ahead and compare)
• A Friday dress code every day of the week (dust off those jeans)
• Extreme crafting experiences (totally optional, but give it a try)
• Paid personal time off...like, a lot of it (see "work/life balance" above)
• Tuition assistance and 401(k) programs (company match, baby!)
