Operations & Vendor Coordinator, Print & Post

Provides execution-level support for vendor coordination and production intake and serves as the cross-trained backup for specialized graphic-creation work (e.g., sponsor logos and platform assets).

The graphic-creation backup element is an explicit, required part of this role - it protects a capability currently concentrated with the Vendor Operations Lead and removes single-person dependency.

Position Responsibilities:

• Vendor Coordination & Intake - manage day-to-day production intake, route work, track vendor outputs and timelines, and flag issues for escalation.

• Graphic Creation Backup (Required) - designated cross-trained backup for sponsor graphic assets; manage logo intake/cleanup and produce graphic outputs to brand standards.
• Support reporting inputs, invoicing follow-up, and operational tracking.
• Support knowledge transfer and documentation so the graphic capability is not dependent on a single person.

Required Qualifications:

• Experience in coordination, vendor support, or operations execution roles.
• Strong organizational and prioritization skills.
• Working knowledge of graphic design tools (Photoshop, Illustrator, or equivalent) is required to serve as the graphic-creation backup - a firm requirement, not optional.
• Exposure to vendor-based or production environments preferred.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Intake and vendor coordination tools (OOS/SPD, Toppan Merrill); graphic design tools (Photoshop, Illustrator, or equivalent).

P&P INDUSTRY PREREQUISITES & OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Industry Knowledge: Print/Post foundations, finance & job-costing, materials & inventory, data/billing/reconciliation, compliance & data privacy, digital adoption, continuity & backup, and SLA & delivery performance- calibrated to the role’s domain.

• No Touch Workflow - a bias toward automation; minimize manual handling, assembly, and rework.
• Digital First, not Digital Only - we print what is Required and Requested - challenge unnecessary print while respecting customer, business, and regulatory needs.
• Assertive & Proactive - anticipate risk, prepare for peak and exception scenarios, and drive issues to resolution rather than waiting for escalation.
• Sound Judgment & Disciplined Escalation - raise issues and ideas early with full justification and a thought-through recommendation; align through the appropriate decision forum before action.
