In this position you will act as the designer for accounting firm’s website. This will involve efficient communication, a know how of all things Squarespace, and an ability to translate marketing and design concepts for our number crunchers.

When you join the MediaBooks team you will be able to stretch your creative muscles while also working with an industry that is known for being detail oriented and efficient. Our clients typically seek out our services because they admire our approach to web design and want something different from the “traditional accounting website”.

THE BENEFITS:
While we are a small business we want you to feel passionate about growing with us and helping us grow! This is a part-time contractor position with plenty of flexibility. Communication and deadlines are our first priority, beyond that we encourage you to work when you feel most energized to do so.
Our team works across many different time zones, with different home-life situations, and flexibility needs. We want to do our best to help accommodate those needs for you.
We prefer to hire and promote within. In that same spirit we value education and consider yours an investment. If you have an interest in a certain area of design you would like to grow in (SEO, Wordpress, marketing, etc.), we are all for helping make that happen. Whether that is through formal courses or creating opportunities to build your experience.
THE TEAM:
One of our values is “One Vision”, which means there is no such thing as “not my job”. The whole idea here is that we can rely on one another when we need time off, are overwhelmed with work, or just need a helping hand. That goes for everyone from top to bottom.
THE CULTURE:
We aim to create an open and honest environment where risk and creativity is encouraged. We are accountable for our work and aim to do better. But we don’t take things too seriously….all team meetings you can expect one (or all) of us to be in sweat pants, with a large coffee, and baby or doggo on our laps. We avoid meetings that could have been an email. And Gifs are our preferred method of communication.

Please complete the form below to include a quick message, portfolio, and link to your resume. After reviewing your information we will set up a quick video meeting which will be followed by a trial project (this is PAID).
