Job description

Prepress Manager

We're looking for a Prepress Manager to lead our end-to-end file preparation and workflow automation efforts across multiple growing lines of business: commercial printing, election ballot print production/layout, and regulated, high-volume variable data print production. This position blends hands-on technical execution with process ownership, ideal for someone experienced in digital prepress, variable-data workflows, and automation systems. This is a highly technical and strategic role focused on driving automation from customer file upload through to press-ready output with minimal manual touchpoints, while managing file integrity, compliance, and system optimization.

Workflow Automation & Prepress Management

  • Own and evolve automated file preparation pipelines from customer upload through to press queues via prepress software, hot folders and RIPs.
  • Utilize Enfocus PitStop Server and Enfocus Switch (or alternate) for automated preflighting, file corrections, and routing logic.
  • Manage existing programming architecture and improve upon the structures in place.
  • Build and manage digital press imposition workflows (no offset required), ensuring layout accuracy and press-readiness for cut-sheet and roll-fed equipment.
  • Ensure all production files are standardized, version-controlled, and optimized for multiple production lines, locations, and technologies.
  • Identify automation opportunities between job intake, imposition, and press submission.

Variable Data & Regulated Output

  • Process data-driven jobs using incoming files (CSV, Excel, XML) to generate variable output.
  • Manage templates, logic, and rules for variable-data jobs across both commercial and regulated print applications.
  • Handle sensitive content and file security, including data QC, SFTP intake, and secure folder structures.
  • Interface with customer service and data teams to ensure personalized output meets logic, naming, and layout requirements.

Required Experience

5+ years in digital prepress or variable data print workflow management. Expert knowledge of PDF workflows, preflighting, and tools like PitStop Server. Experience with Enfocus Switch, or similar, to automate tasks, routing, hotfolders, or data merges. Familiarity with digital imposition (EFI, Ultimate Impostrip, or similar) for toner/inkjet workflows. Comfortable working with data files and logic-driven template systems for personalized output. Excellent organization and task management with a strong focus on file accuracy and repeatability.

What We Offer

A technically hands-on role in a fast-paced, multi-division print environment. Varied product lines to affect change efficiency. Key ownership over workflow decisions, software platforms, and production efficiency. Access to modern tools and production technology. Competitive pay, benefits, and growth opportunities within a family-owned company that values innovation.

At AlphaGraphics, we offer careers for everyone! Whether you are just starting out, looking for that next great growth opportunity, or seeking a change, we have exciting roles to suit you.

We pride ourselves on our training programs in management, sales, operations, print, signs, design, and marketing. Join us with or without experience, and we will succeed together as a team!
