Floor Support Team Lead

LEAD THE WAY + DRIVE THE VIBE + KEEP THE ARTWORK MOVIN' ON THROUGH

At Lakeshirts | Blue 84, we're more than a company. We're a creative, team-first operation that turns artwork into apparel for resort, licensed collegiate, and K-12 customers.

You'll use production reports and work orders to assign work, respond to floor needs, maintain brand and art standards, and support continuous improvement. If you're a practical servant leader who knows Adobe Illustrator and thrives in a fast-paced screen print environment, this could fit you to a tee.
