This job is in Durham, NC.
Diesel Jack Media is a fast-growing boutique marketing agency that specializes in video, media buying, and marketing strategy. We’re also extremely weird, and we’re looking for weird people with the same mindset.
We’re not weird in that we give ourselves cute little nicknames like ninjas or growth hackers or anything like that. We’re weird because we really do give a shit. We want to transform businesses for hard-working entrepreneurs beyond what they could have imagined. We only take clients we like, so we’re never checking the box or phoning it in. If we work with someone, as far as we’re concerned, we’re part of their company.
The reason we’re putting it in this job posting is because we want you to know what you’re getting into. When you care about the client’s success, you understand it isn’t about clocking hours. It’s about delivering results.
Our entire company is structured that way. We’re very egalitarian with almost no hierarchy outside of the founders, who act as part of multiple teams. Everyone gets peer ratings, and the employees literally have the power to remove other employees that aren’t putting forth effort. It’s not a place to coast.
We’re also extremely honest with each other. If the work we produce doesn’t cut it, we tell each other. This means sometimes you are not going to be made to feel special. We also all tell you when you create awesome work, but that never seems to be the issue. It’s the people who can’t take constructive criticism that tend to slowly turn into a blob that evaporates into the carpet never to be seen again. So please be honest with yourself.
That doesn’t mean we have a miserable work environment. We have a lot of fun, but that’s possible because we don’t have anyone that isn’t awesome at what they do and trying to knock out their piece of the pie in the best way possible.
If you want to show up to work, knock out a few things, and go home, then please do not apply. You will not be a good fit.
Up to this point, it probably sounds like we’re telling you not to apply, and that couldn’t be further from the truth. We just don’t want to waste either of our times if you’re not talented and hardcore.
Along those lines though, the company also puts its money where its mouth is. We pay 100% of a great Blue Cross/Blue Shield Health/Vision/Dental plan, have a 5% matching 401k, flexible work accommodations, and once you’re through your trial employee period, access to profit sharing, which we distribute quarterly at 20% of all corporate profits.
If that’s appealing, we’d love to have you apply to our Video Producer / Editor position! Well…provided, of course, that you are good at shooting and editing video.
Required Skills:
- Video Editing. Quick and skillful video editing is key. We keep a steady pace working on everything from 15 second shorts to feature films. We do not people who just want to splice together footage. We want you to transform the footage into something greater than itsit’s individual parts.
- Video Shooting. We wantlike people who lovelike to shoot. Who think about how to attack a problem a different way and deliver something that garners attention.
- Travel. T Except for our CEO and our Video Director, we aren’t road warriors. That being said, there are times of the year where we get busy and you have to be willing to travel to get the work done. 25% travel is about what you should expect.
- Personality. You have to be a generally nice person who is nice to other people, doesn’t gossip, or drown themselves in negativity. We have a pretty good thing going here, so if you’re a jerk, even if you’re really talented, the juice isn’t worth the squeeze for us.
Nice to have Skills:
- Color editing is a nice addition.
- Sound engineering is a nice addition.
- After-effects is a nice addition.
- Animation is a nice addition.
- Writing. We love writers and it’s always good to have another one on the team.
If you have multiple skills that crossover several job functions all the better! If you want to be an account manager, eventually, but still want to shoot or edit some, perfect! If you also like to design every now and then, perfect. We want your work to be fulfilling and we prefer that no one at the company is ever “pure admin” so we love to have everyone be part of the creative process.
Qualifications: We don’t care if your qualifications come in the form of degrees or experience, but you need to show us you can do the job well on day one. If you’re a writer, we’ll ask you to write. If you’re an editor, we’ll ask you to edit. If you’re a graphic designer, we’ll ask you to shoot a video. Just kidding. We’ll ask you to design. If you have a high school diploma and you design way better than the guy or gal with the masters degree in fine arts, we’re gonna hire you. We’re not knocking formal education. We’re just hitting the point that if you can carry the mail, don’t worry about your resume. Just show us you can do the work.
If you’ve read this far and aren’t scared and/or don’t hate us, then drop your resume and portfolio (if applicable) to [email protected]
Job Selection Process
- Write to us at [email protected]
- Give us your resume and a cover letter, but only if the cover letter isn’t bullshit and jargon, and specifically addresses why you’d be a great fit HERE.
- Otherwise, please do not bother with a cover letter.
- 30 min phone screen. Do you like us? Do we like you? Does it seem like a fit?
- You give us a time that works for you. We give you a 4-hour skills test. We essentially give you footage and ask you to cut something together in that window.
- If that goes well, prepare to meet the team for a final interview or two.
- Job offer
Compensation:
$45-$55k plus quarterly bonuses based on company performance after trial period is complete.
5% match 401k
100% paid Blue Cross Medical/Dental/Vision
100k paid life insurance
