Flexo + Color Management Professionals — New Opportunity in Neenah, WI



I’m recruiting a Print & Color Technologist for a well-established organization supporting the flexographic printing and packaging industry.



This is a succession-planning hire due to an upcoming retirement, giving the new person an opportunity to work alongside a highly experienced industry professional and gain valuable knowledge before taking ownership of the role.



One thing that really stood out to me about this company: their average employee tenure is around 16 years. They have a very experienced team, and this opening is about planning for the future--not replacing someone who left for another opportunity.



📍 Neenah, WI
💰 $95,000–$115,000
🚚 Relocation assistance available



This is a senior technical role supporting both flexible packaging and corrugated, with a focus on color management, troubleshooting and technical support. You'll work closely with customers as well as sales, prepress and production.



They’re looking for:



*Strong flexographic printing + color management experience

*G7 expertise/certification is a big plus

*Experience with GMG and color management/profiling tools

*Solid understanding of prepress and flexographic print processes

*Strong technical problem-solving and communication skills



Experience across both flexible packaging and corrugated would be ideal, but it isn't required. A strong flexible packaging/color management background could translate very well.



Beyond stepping into an established program, there is an opportunity for this person to bring new ideas, advance their color management capabilities and help shape the future of the role.



If you're a flexo/color professional who's ready for something new (or know someone who might be) send me a message at [email protected]. I'd be happy to share more.
