Art Director

We are looking for a designer steeped in visual brand development with a kick-ass portfolio to prove it. Someone who can develop an on-brand aesthetic from logo to color palette, and mood to typography. What sets you apart is having the chops to bring that brand to life with stunning motion graphics across a wide variety of media, including social media, mobile platforms, and emerging media.

This is an in office, not remote position so you should play well with others in a collaborative environment, and thrive on it. And, you get major bonus points if you have such attention to detail and organization, one may call it OCD. And you’re proud of it.

We are a woman-owned business with most of our staff identifying as female. As storytellers and marketers, creative growth is important to us. It’s why we strive to find voices from various backgrounds and cultures. Fresh perspectives and boundless creativity help us stay innovative, so we encourage diverse creators to apply. 

Top 10 skills we’re looking for:

1. Strong logo design background, with an understanding of typography, layout, form and color. 
2. Brand experience and all of its various shapes, sizes and platforms.
3. Expertise in Adobe CC, with proficiency in Premiere and After Effects as essential skills.
4. Mastery of motion graphics and its development in various media.
5. Video editing and post-production, plus the ability to infuse with effects, motion graphics and other elements. This includes video sequence and storyboard development.
6. Excellent time management skills, demonstrated ability to organize, set and implement priorities while balancing multiple tasks and meeting deadlines.
7. Comprehensive knowledge of emerging creative technologies, best practices and experimental approaches in design, marketing and brand communications.
8. Deadline-driven, with the knowledge of prepping design files for print and online delivery, ensuring all deliverables are on time and carefully exported to output specifications.
9. Outstanding communication skills with an eagerness to collaborate and interact with clients.
10. Strong understanding of reaching target audiences and brand goals.

We work in a barn with no cubicles or closed-door offices. We rely on this open-concept office style to get things done collaboratively. It’s why we do not offer remote positions. 

The mountain lifestyle is important to us—we’re proud that we live, work and play in the mountains. We care about the environment, the outdoors and our community. If you love the outdoors and enjoy cities in small doses, this may be the place for you.

Why you may like it here:

• You can develop and grow your role the way you want. 
• To take the pressure off finding a place to live, we’ll set you up in your own apartment, on us, for the first few months you are here after which you can assume the lease.
• We offer matching 401k, Health/Dental/Vision insurance.
• Paid time off—14 days of PTO to start, plus 5 remote work days and more PTO from Christmas to New Year’s, plus most national holidays. 
• Work/life balance is important to us, so we don’t want you to work nights or on the weekends. Go outside instead!
• We can help you integrate into the community, whether it’s community kickball or hiking/skiing groups, or board membership in a nonprofit.
