Full Job Description Benefits:

401(k) matching Competitive salary Dental insurance Health insurance Paid time off Profit sharing Vision insurance This is the job where you learn how big accounts actually work. We're one of the largest print and marketing companies in central Illinois — 48 years in business and still growing. Our clients include healthcare systems, Fortune 50 companies, franchises, and manufacturers who count on us to deliver. Every. Single. Time. You don't need print experience — we'll teach you that. We need your relationship skills, your attention to detail, and your ability to keep clients happy when things get complicated.

What You'll Do:

You'll support our sales team by managing our most complex accounts day-to-day. That means quoting jobs, coordinating with clients, managing portal accounts, and being the person our biggest customers call when they need something handled. You won't be running equipment — but you will be running the jobs. You'll shepherd projects through prepress, print, wide format, finishing, and shipping, making sure every department has what they need and every deadline gets hit. This isn't order-taking. This is account management with your hands in the work.

Who You Are:

A relationship builder. Clients remember your name. You follow up before they have to ask. Organized under pressure. Dozens of jobs, multiple accounts, tight deadlines — nothing slips. A fast learner. We'll train you on quoting, estimating, and production. You just need to care about getting the details right. Proactive. You see a problem forming and fix it before anyone has to ask. Tech-comfortable. You'll use quoting software, CRM tools, and portal platforms daily. You pick things up quickly. Bonus Points (Not Dealbreakers) Print, signage, or marketing production experience Account management or project coordination background Adobe Creative Suite or Microsoft Office skills Why PIP? We're growing — nearly doubled production capacity in the last few years. We'll invest in you — you'll learn print, signage, estimating, and production management. Real skills, real career. The work is interesting — vehicle wrap programs, signage rollouts, direct mail campaigns, tradeshow graphics. You won't be bored. This role goes somewhere — sales, account management, operations leadership. This is where that path starts. Pretty cool people. Pretty cool stuff.
