About The Position

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. As our Art Production Team Lead for Floor Support, you'll connect the art team and production floor, keep artwork moving on time, protect production-art standards, and help artists solve issues before they slow the value stream. This is a hands-on lead role for someone who can organize shifting priorities, coach people, troubleshoot production artwork, and communicate clearly across Art, Production, and Quality Control. 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 screenprint environment, this could fit you to a tee. This position is onsite at our headquarters in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota.

Servant-leadership approach and the ability to guide a team toward shared goals are essential.
Two- or four-year degree in Graphic Design preferred, or an equivalent combination of education and relevant production-art experience.

NIMBLE, reliable, and open-minded, with a demonstrated commitment to continuous improvement, quality, and on-time delivery.
Employees must be able to see and hear, read and write. Requires adaptability, analyzing, assessing, calculating, decision-making, dependability, judgment, reading, speaking, following direction, handling multiple priorities, and reasoning.
