The Job
We’re seeking a highly detail-oriented Production Manager with exceptional proofreading skills to serve as the final set of eyes on direct mail fundraising campaigns (print, color, and personalization proofs) before they are mailed. This role owns quality control, catching last-minute errors in personalization, coding, copy, and design before they reach members and donors, and services as the primary project manager for a select group of client campaigns.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who takes pride in precision: who reads every proof twice, catches what everyone else missed, and treats accuracy as non-negotiable. Experience with direct mail printing is a plus, but strong proofreading instincts, attention to detail, and comfort being the final reviewer matter most.

- Oversee project completion: proofing content and finalizing paper and electronic files
What You Bring
You’re a meticulous proofreader at heart, who can’t help but catch a misplaced comma or slight color variation.
