Again, this list isn’t intended to describe an exhaustive list of the day in and day out experience in the office. It’s to describe the general content and requirements of the position. 

If you think that you’ve got the right stuff for the position, get in touch.

We are looking to make a quick decision, so if you’re interested, get to typing. The response time will be fairly quick for a job application process. We may or may not get to see all applicants, but we will let you know when we make our decision. 

Send over your resumé / portfolio / work history to [email protected]. No calls or stop-bys… only ’cause we’re busy, remember?!

Creativity goes a long way, of course, but don’t skip out on the substance, k? – we like a good laugh, and that’ll help to fit in here, but we also need to see the skills. This is a full-time position that requires onsite work with our team. If you don’t live in Colorado Springs, but you plan on moving here soon, let us know. NOT looking for remote work for this position.
