Current Positions Available
We’re looking for talented, detail-oriented, and experienced professionals to join our team. We offer a stable work environment, benefits, and a full-time salary commensurate with experience.
Please email scott@geredonovan.com after reading the below. No phone calls, please. If we like your stuff, we’ll call you.
Who You Are
You’re meticulous. If you’re wondering if you’re meticulous enough, you’re not. If people make fun of how organized you are, and you’ve thought more than once about seeking therapy, you might be. You know how to write, or at least how to use a damn dictionary.
You’re enthusiastic. You’re not a moper, and you don’t get down when everything isn’t going perfectly. You haven’t been broken by the world. You lift people up. But you’re not so indiscriminately gung ho that you’re annoying and coworkers want to hit you.
You’re driven. If you see a problem, you take care of it, or at least recommend a solution when you point it out. That solution usually involves YOU doing something, not pointing out how everyone else needs to solve the problem. You want responsiblity, and the authority to carry it out.
You’re honorable. You want to be fair to your agency, clients, and coworkers. You refuse to treat people like crap, even if they deserve it. You know what “cowboy ethics” are and believe in them.
Mostly, you do whatever needs to be done. Because that’s how we work. And that’s how you work, too.
Senior Designer
You can do things with Photoshop and the rest of CS6 that your colleagues can only marvel at. You‘ve developed the skills that allow you to manage multiple projects and production tasks efficiently–you understand deadlines. You‘re comfortable working on everything from animation to environmental design and can figure out what you need to know to make things happen. Flash, HTML5, AfterEffects, whatever–you‘ve got the skills to bring your ideas to life. And you know how to write or at least how to use a damn dictionary.
You can design websites that respect responsive approaches. You have demonstrable experience developing UI/UX designs that are elegant and creative approaches that are inspired.
You have an eye for great photography and great typography. You work on projects ranging from corporate identity and brand guidelines to annual reports and advertising campaigns.
Graphic Designer
Honed by a reasonable amount of real-world experience making magic happen, you know your way in and out of CS6 producing everything from website graphics and ads to brochures and displays. You‘ve probably worked in a deadline-oriented environment in the past (anything from service bureaus to newspapers) and thrive on getting lots of stuff done, and done right.
Your technical chops are tight and highly developed–and you‘ve got some ideas of your own to bring to the party.
Web Developer
You‘re handy with HTML5/CSS3 and Javascript/jQuery, understand the latest standards, believe in semantic markup, and know why responsive development matters. You‘re at home in various content management systems and can make them do what you want. You can construct a quality user interface and handle browser compatibility issues.
You‘re comfortable setting up and maintaining LAMP systems. You know PHP and MySQL extremely well, and you‘re not afraid of these things: ColdFusion, XML, JSON, APIs, REST, Google Maps, and so on. You build web applications, but you‘re not infatuated with the latest programming models or frameworks. You’ve used version control systems.
You‘re not an idealist when it comes to coding, since you know it will change a hundred times and be completely replaced in two years, but that doesn‘t stop you from writing clean, commented code. You don‘t have to build Skynet to process the contents of an online form. You never say “Well, it SHOULD work.”
Copywriter
You are strategic and creative, and you write copy that is remarkable. Whether it‘s a headline or an entire website, you approach every project with the goal of writing copy that is meaningful and effective. You‘ve developed the skills that allow you to manage multiple projects efficiently–you understand deadlines. You‘re comfortable working on your own or with a team, and can figure out what you need to know to make things happen.
You write copy that compels and motivates. You like variety and enjoy working with many different industries. You have experience with projects ranging from corporate identity, brand guidelines and collateral to web content, email marketing and advertising campaigns.
Project Manager
You‘ve developed the skills that allow you to manage multiple projects and production tasks efficiently–you understand deadlines. You‘re comfortable working on every aspect of a project, from building and maintaining schedules and budgets to managing multiple resources and writing status reports. You enjoy communicating with internal resources, vendors, contractors and clients. You build a sense of team but aren‘t afraid to direct a team and hold individuals accountable.
You‘ve got the experience to calmly and methodically gather the information, identify resources and then get stuff done. You don‘t mind juggling, and in fact you thrive on it. You aren‘t afraid to dive in and figure out what you need to know to make things happen.
Account Executive
You help identify new business and write proposals. You also foster and grow existing client relationships, which means lots of phone calls and meetings. Sometimes it means travel. You make sure clients feel heard, that the details will be remembered. You write everything down. You have ideas of your own. You contribute.
You work with the creative team as they bring things to life. You advocate for the client with the team, and you advocate for the team with the client. You pitch in across the board, which might be social media management, copywriting, creating status reports, or getting pizza if the team is slamming on something and forgets to eat.
