The ideal applicant will be able to enthusiastically perform job functions with a minimum of structure and supervision, and be able to thrive in an informal, creative, entrepreneurial company.
You should be interested in working as part of a smaller firm, although experience freelancing or working at a larger corporation is valuable.
Both part-time and full-time positions are available. We are open to working with freelancers on a per-project basis.
