One Book at a Time Publishing / The Print Site Addison, Texas (Hybrid after training)

After nearly 30 years with our company, our longtime Desktop Publishing Manager is retiring. This is an exceptional opportunity to step into a key role with a well-established commercial printing and book manufacturing company.

We specialize in high-quality custom books, commercial printing, and specialty finishing. Our work is challenging, varied, and rarely repetitive. Every project is different, and our clients expect exceptional quality delivered on demanding deadlines.

This is not a typical graphic design position. It is a production position where accuracy, organization, problem‑solving, and attention to detail are just as important as creativity.

• Prepare customer files for production
• Preflight and correct artwork
• Build and impose files for digital printing
• Create and edit layouts when needed
• Work closely with customers to resolve file issues
• Prepare files for specialty finishing, binding, foil, Spot UV, and other processes
• Coordinate with production staff to ensure jobs move efficiently through the shop
• Manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously

Experience with:

• Adobe InDesign (expert level preferred)
• Adobe Acrobat Professional
• Adobe Illustrator
• Adobe Photoshop

Experience in commercial printing, book production, prepress, or digital print production is strongly preferred.

• Bleeds
• Margins
• Color management
• PDF workflows
• Typography
• Imposition
• Printing processes

The ideal candidate is someone who:

• Thrives in a fast‑paced production environment
• Performs well under pressure and tight deadlines
• Takes ownership of their work
• Is dependable and self‑motivated
• Has excellent attention to detail
• Enjoys solving problems
• Communicates well with customers and coworkers
• Is organized and able to prioritize constantly changing workloads
• Has a good sense of humor and works well with an experienced, close‑knit team

This position may be full‑time or part‑time, depending on the candidate.

Remote work is available after training and once you’re comfortable with our workflow. During the transition period, regular time in our Addison facility will be required to learn our systems and work alongside our retiring production artist.

Compensation will be based on experience and qualifications.

If you’re looking for a position where your skills truly matter and where you’ll become an important part of a company that takes pride in producing exceptional printed products, we’d love to hear from you.

Flexible work from home options available.
