Assistant Manager

We are looking for someone to take on the role of Assistant Manager with the goal being to transition into the Shop Manager position. The current acting Shop Manager will transition into a role of sales / web development / company expansion.

Company Overview

Latah Print Shop is a small, local printing company based in Troy, ID. We provide a variety of quality printing services to Latah County and the surrounding areas. Some items produced include: vinyl decals, vehicle graphics, banners, yard signs, storefront graphics. Our specialty and largest volume item by far is vinyl stickers which are mostly sent out to customers around the country.

Working Environment

We are located just off of Main Street in downtown Troy, ID. The vast majority of work is performed indoors in a comfortable, climate controlled environment. The exception would be on-site installations which would be handled by the existing Shop Manager. Generally, this will be a relatively low-stress position. We do deal with a lot of time-sensitive orders but we can accurately plan ahead and usually budget an extra buffer in there for anything that may go wrong. We keep track of our open orders in an organized system available to all employees at any time across multiple computers that indicates order priority and due dates .

Availability

Generally, the working hours would be along the lines of Monday thru Friday, 9a-3p plus or minus. This may vary slightly over time and with current workload but you can expect to do 20 hours a week minimum. In our production process, the first step of preparing the day's work, requires two people. It is important that you are able to reliably arrive at the designated time or it can throw off the timeline for the rest of the workday. For the most-part, there would be no work on the weekends. Though, if there is an overabundance of work, you could assign people to work weekends if they would like the additional hours. A lot of the time we just work through most holidays but we can typically accommodate requested times off.

Responsibilities

• Assessing current workload and coordinating with other employees to ensure sufficient coverage.
• Handling employee payroll and time clock records.
• Supervise and train team members, ensuring they adhere to company policies and procedures.
• Ensure supplies and inventory levels are maintained, reordering as needed.
• Basic machinery maintenance.
• Intermittently running production equipment.
• Packaging and preparing orders for shipment.
• Performing final check on items before shipping out.
• Learning all the various processes involved in production.
• Filling in anywhere needed.

Role may expand into

• Responding to customer inquiries. (primarily email)
• Preparing quotes for customers.
• Preparing files for print.
• Managing social media accounts. (Primarily just posting images of work done with little to no context)
• Other administrative tasks.

Requirements

• Able to work alone or along side others.
• General computer and internet familiarity / skills.
• Ability to exercise common sense.
• Good vision, preferably 20/20 or better.
• Basic math skills/understanding.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience in graphic design and/or printing processes.
• Experience with Adobe Illustrator and/or to a much smaller extent, Photoshop.
• Experience with spreadsheets/can at least read them.

Essentially, this is the boss position. While we do expect you to take that responsibility seriously, we are not are not particularly looking for a bossy boss. You should be kind-hearted and pleasant to work with. There are different responsibilities among different positions but we prefer to treat each-other as equals working toward the common goal. We would far prefer to have someone with zero experience but has a great attitude rather than an expert with a poor one.

It may sound like a lot but many tasks are small and infrequent. We certainly understand it will take time to learn all the different aspects of the business and the existing manager will be available to assist. If you believe this position is something that may be interested in, don't hesitate to get in touch. While certain skills are appreciated, we will be happy to train the person who fits well with our current team even if they have little experience.
