Gerber and Drill layers do not align. How do I fix this?

After importing a job set using AutoLoad, the Gerbers are offset from the job origin while the drill file seems to be located at the origin. How do I select all elements and move them to 0,0?

This is common, as many PCB CAD tools output their gerbers & drills with different origins (not sure why they do this but it's very common). Since there is probably more gerber layers, than drill layers I would suggest that you have the drill layer align with the Gerbers; and then if you want move the entire group to 0,0.
To align the layers, goto menu: Edit | Align Layers... (1) Select a pad reference object on a gerber layer that also appears on the drill (such as a tooling hole, via, etc.). (2) Select a similar pad on the drill layer. The drill file will be automatically aligned with the gerbers.
