Job description
We're looking for a seasoned, hands‑on Sr. Manager, Print & Retail Display Programs — someone with deep print production knowledge, strong vendor relationships, and the ability to independently estimate, source, and execute complex projects. This role is a full time temp-to-permanent position, located in Plano, TX.
Key Responsibilities
Own print and retail display programs from concept and estimating through engineering, prototyping, production, kitting, and final delivery to stores, field teams, and event sites.
Manage structural display projects, including permanent and temporary POP, floor displays, endcaps, counter units, shippers, pallet displays, sidekicks, and in-store signage systems.
Work with structural designers and display manufacturers on die lines, engineering drawings, white samples, and production prototypes. Make sure designs are buildable, cost‑effective, and ready for retail.
Know corrugate, rigid substrates, wood, metal, acrylic, and mixed-material builds well. Specify board grades, flute profiles, load requirements, assembly methods, and finishing.
Plan and oversee kitting programs: kit contents, packing lists, assembly instructions, store‑level versioning, and quality checks at the kitting facility.
Manage shipping and distribution: pack‑out specs, carton and pallet configurations, labeling, freight quotes, carrier selection, ship‑to lists, delivery windows, and tracking through confirmed receipt.
Coordinate with Warehouse, Logistics, and Fabrication teams on inventory, staging, storage, and outbound shipments. Resolve damage, shortage, and misdelivery issues quickly.
Oversee commercial print, large‑format graphics, POS materials, packaging, and promotional collateral that support display programs.
Partner with Account Management, Creative, and Activation teams to understand client and retailer goals, retailer compliance requirements, and in‑store execution needs.
Source, evaluate, and manage display manufacturers, printers, kitting houses, and freight partners. Hold them to competitive pricing, quality standards, and on‑time delivery.
Build detailed program estimates that cover engineering, prototyping, production, kitting, warehousing, and freight. Manage budgets and find ways to improve margin.
Review artwork, proofs, die lines, prototypes, and production samples for accuracy, fit, and structural integrity before release to production.
Run multiple multi‑SKU, multi‑location programs at once while holding timelines, budgets, and detail.
Anticipate production and logistics risks, recommend practical solutions, and keep internal teams and clients informed.
Mentor junior producers and set standards for display specs, kitting documentation, and shipping workflows.
Qualifications
8+ years in print production, retail display, or POP program management, with at least 3 years managing structural display and kitting programs.
Hands‑on knowledge of display engineering, corrugate and permanent display manufacturing, and retail fixture standards.
Proven experience managing kitting, fulfillment, and multi‑location shipping, including freight (LTL, parcel, and FTL) and retailer routing guidelines.
Strong estimating, budgeting, and vendor negotiation skills.
Familiar with retailer compliance and in‑store set requirements for major mass, grocery, drug, and specialty retailers.
Highly organized, with a sense of urgency and a solutions‑first attitude in a fast‑paced agency environment.
