Imagining a life at JLOOP...
We are always on the lookout for individuals who can expand our capabilities, supercharge our creativity, and widen our perspective.
We challenge each other daily. We work hard. We have benefits. Besides the obvious - things like yoga make our work lives a little richer, and a little healthier.
Below are a few positions we have defined, but you may fit in our mix differently - contract, full-time, or part-time - make your pitch. We look forward to meeting you.
Junior Designer
Description: JLOOP is seeking a junior level designer who is able to shift focus among multiple projects in a creative team-oriented environment. With the goal of working to create purposeful user-driven experiences, this position will involve a mix of creative duties focusing on production art, but also including development of wireframes, user experience diagrams, and design concepts when needed. While an art director comes up with creative concepts and a graphic designer executes them, it’s the production artist who brings them to life. That’s why strong typographic and layout skills, strict attention to detail, and outstanding organizational, file-organization and archiving skills are a must.
Who are you? You love design and want to contribute to the creation of amazing digital experiences. You are a team collaborator but are also independently motivated. You want to learn and grow. You immerse yourself in details. You are a process-oriented self-starter. You want to create the type of work others want to emulate.
Salary commensurate with experience.
