About the Role

The Prepress Engineering Project Specialist is a key role within the Prepress Engineering team, supporting the creation and delivery of trading card products across Fanatics Collectibles’ expanding portfolio of licensed brands. This role combines technical understanding of prepress and engineering workflows with strong scheduling, coordination, and administrative support.

Acting as the central point of communication, the Project Specialist connects Art, Prepress Engineering, Project Management, Mastering, and Project Coordinator teams to ensure card projects move smoothly from concept through final, print-ready delivery.

• Support engineers by managing project tracking, timelines, and administrative tasks
• Maintain clear, accurate project documentation including schedules, status updates, and change tracking
• Communicate project requirements, updates, and issues across cross-functional partners
• Assist with intake and organization of new card projects, including expanding licensed products
• Help ensure engineering and prepress requirements are clearly understood and met before files move to mastering

Nice to Have
