Roles

Graphic Designer

Who we’re looking for

We are seeking artists who thrive on creativity and problem-solving and study the latest looks and trends in order to stay current. We need team players who love to collaborate with other creative individuals and build each other up, as well as organized people who can work within a well-crafted organizational system.Fast-paced workers who can meet deadlines while producing high-quality results will do well here. We’re also looking for communicators who can clearly convey concepts and express concerns. If you’re a detail-oriented designer who takes pride in producing great quality work, please apply.

What you’d be doing

You will be expanding your creative skills by learning from industry professionals and making social media graphics, email graphics, web graphics, print designs, and more for a variety of clients with a variety of needs, from merch to logos to social media images to booth displays to product packaging.

You’ll be working with the marketing director and other creative individuals who will offer you tasks, work with you on ideas, and provide constructive criticism of your designs. You’ll be creating high-quality designs in a timely manner to help elevate products and services and build your skills. You’ll be working with our incredibly organized, highly visual Kraken system that helps make projects move to completion smoothly and efficiently.

The amount of work we’ll have available for you will vary week-to-week, and what time of the day or night you work — weekdays or weekends — is up to you.

What skills & attributes you need

We are looking for a U.S.-based graphic designer with professional experience. We’re looking for people who have a trained eye for good design and a solid portfolio. Experience with designing social media posts is a must. A strong proficiency with Photoshop and Illustrator is required, as well as access to your on CC license. You’ll also need to have experience directing AI to generate top-quality images and videos that are virtually free of flaws and are steeped in your own creative direction, relying heavily on your experience as an artist rather than letting the machine produce something generic and soulless.

What would help you look even more qualified

If you have a marketing background, that’s a big plus, as well as proficiency in InDesign and Premiere Pro or other video editing software. Experience with task management applications like Asana will make it easier for you to get onboard with our process. If you enjoy creating and maintaining brand identities, that’s another big plus. And if you happen to have copywriting skills, we can always use more writers.

Copywriter

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for copywriters who love to write every day and don’t mind doing some research. We need detail-oriented proofreaders who smile with smug satisfaction every time they catch an error before it goes live and hyperventilate when they find a mistake that’s already been published. Organized people who can work within a well-crafted organizational system fit in well with our team, as do fast-paced creators who can meet deadlines while producing high-quality results and not get bogged down in tasks that can be easily automated. We’re also looking for communicators who can clearly convey concepts and express concerns to team members

What you’d be doing

You’ll be producing and editing copy for blog articles, social media posts, marketing emails, product packaging, websites, sales materials, and more for industries ranging from marketing to software to legal compliance, using modern tools for rapid research and composition.

You’ll be working with our marketing director (a professional copywriter) and other creative individuals who will offer you tasks, work with you on ideas, and provide constructive criticism of your writing. You’ll be creating high-quality copy to help elevate products and services and will be encouraged to write in a fun, engaging way (because boring copy can’t compete).

The amount of work we’ll have available for you will vary week-to-week, and what time of the day or night you work — weekdays or weekends — is up to you.

What skills & attributes you need

We’re looking for candidates based in the U.S. who have a very strong knowledge of the English language. We need writers who have the ability to write well without relying on AI tools and yet know how to use AI as a research tool to speed up production. We’re also looking for a willingness to edit AI copy that’s been provided in order to improve on it significantly. In other words, we need humans who can write better than robots. The ability to convey information in a way that holds readers’ interests is paramount, as well as the ability to write in a way that makes content stand out from the generic AI slop that’s flooding the marketplace. We crave content with creativity and imagination. Professional long-form and short-form writing experience and proofreading experience are required. Please provide a solid portfolio of writing samples.

What would help you look even more qualified

Experience writing copy for blog articles, social media posts, marketing emails, product packaging, websites, and sales materials is a huge plus, as well as a marketing background. If you have awards and certifications related to writing and proofreading, that helps, too.
