The PM, Ink Solutions will guide software, workflow, and operating platform development to grow and deliver profitable revenue from existing print and mail business, as
well as potential future offerings such as signage, apparel, promotional products, and more.

This is a hands-on builder role in an early-stage business inside a larger enterprise. The PM must be comfortable:
- creating structure where it does not yet exist
- writing requirements
- building operating mechanisms
- walking production workflows
- analyzing data
- driving execution without a large dedicated product team
