Position Summary
As Estimator, you will play a key role in how AIIM designs solutions, wins new business, and helps clients find better ways to produce and deliver their communications.
This is not a traditional estimating role. We are looking for someone who combines deep production knowledge with curiosity, technology, data, and a solutions mindset. You will work directly with Sales, Client Success, Production, Purchasing, and our clients to understand what they are trying to accomplish and determine the smartest way for AIIM to deliver it.
AIIM operates across digital print, direct mail, large format, finishing, fulfillment, data-driven communications, and integrated solutions. Strong large format estimating experience is required because it is an significant capability for this role, but you will work across AIIM as One AIIM, not within a large format or legacy business silo.
You will also play an important role in the continued implementation and evolution of AIIM's current ERP platform, helping us build standardized estimating, costing, and production practices that are data-driven, scalable, and increasingly automated.

- Bring strong expertise in large format estimating,

- Develop estimates across digital print, direct mail, large format, finishing, fulfillment, and related communication programs

- Evaluate materials, labour, equipment, finishing, fulfillment, outsourcing, freight, installation, and other requirements
- Identify opportunities to simplify production, reduce touchpoints, eliminate waste, and improve repeatability
- Evaluate outsourced production when it provides a better overall solution for AIIM and the client
ERP, Data & the Future of Estimating
- Become a power user and champion of AIIM's new ERP platform
- Help build the estimating standards, production rates, material costs, routings, and assumptions that will support AIIM's future operating model
- Use estimate-to-actual data to continuously improve costing and production decisions
- Help move AIIM away from spreadsheets, tribal knowledge, and individual estimating practices toward one standardized, system-driven approach
- Look for opportunities to use automation, data, and technology to make estimating faster, more accurate, and more scalable
- Question existing processes and actively contribute ideas for how AIIM can estimate and produce work differently
- Ensure estimates can flow effectively from opportunity through order entry, production, and final costing
