Manufacturing Training Specialist

MOO set out to shake up the world of print back in 2006. And we’ve come a long way since. Today we’re a 400 + strong team (we’re thinking of getting matching jackets) who create print and digital products for companies of all sizes – from Google and AirBnB to the guy who makes those amazing prints you found at a craft fair.    Our global HQ is in London, UK, while we also have premises in Dagenham. In the US, you’ll find us in Boston, MA Denver, CO, and East Providence, RI We’re making new and exciting things – and we could really do with your help.  What’s it like to work at MOO?  MOO’s the kind of workplace where you can really be yourself. Dye your hair purple. Hit the sofa with your laptop. Whatever helps you feel comfortable and happy at work. We want to help you grow in your career and set you up for success – while also recognising the importance of a healthy work/life balance. That’s why we offer 34 days of combined vacation and holidays, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus life and AD&D insurance. We also offer a 401(k) with company match and no vesting schedule, a dog-friendly and casual office environment, and free lunches every other week. Because when you feel good, your work does too.
