**Radical candor? More like radical gander, right?**
Ok, enough goose puns for the moment, but now that weâve got your attention, allow us to tell you more about this company called GooseChase and why might you want to join us!
You love an app that makes you smile, right? Well our product is a lot of fun. And even though our origins are that of a humble scavenger hunt app, weâve now evolved (hatched?) into a super-flexible platform used by millions to create all sorts of experiences! Itâs all the best parts of a scavenger hunt, with a delightful twist to keep you coming back for more.
With all that fun and flexibility, weâve been growing like crazy. For teachers in the classroom, weâre the new âTV cartâ, aka the learning tool that students legitimately look forward to. For todayâs workplaces, virtual or otherwise, we help the team connect with each other to the point where they want to come into (or logon) to work. And for local cities and towns, we bring families together in a way that truly builds a sense of community.
But weâre also unique in that we donât have any investors and, as a result, are able to put our people before profit. Seriously. We have a profit sharing program specifically for this reason! It also means we grow at the pace we want to and put the time into making this the best possible place to work. Our team members have lives, hobbies & relationships outside of work and we see that as an asset to our culture, not a nuisance getting in the way of âthe real workâ.
**So what exactly is this job?**
If youâre looking for impact & ownership, this is about as good as it gets. Youâll be responsible for developing the internal and external âvisualâ voice of our company, helping to set a consistent look and feel while creatively supporting product & marketing initiatives.
From a day to day perspective, youâll be a core member of our cross-functional revenue team, but working closely with our design team and other team members across the organization. Whatever will ultimately help give our customers the best experience possible!
**Ok cool, so where do I fit in?**
You will be responsible for:
* Working closely with our marketing team and occasionally with Hannah & Kim, our designers, to create marketing graphics.
* Injecting your playful nature into everything you touch, transforming GooseChase into a phenomenal visual brand, possibly even designing us a new logo!
* Delighting our customers across a variety of product & marketing initiatives, such as customer facing landing pages, email marketing templates, app store screenshots & more, going from rough drafts & ideation to ensuring our final graphics and layouts are visually appealing and on-brand.
* Helping to provide animations & digital assets that can get our customers to their âahaâ moments as fast as possible.
**And who will I work with?**
At GooseChase youâll be working alongside a team of highly motivated, world-class people with tons of opportunities for learning, growth, and mentorship. Our entire team works closely together, so we are extremely selective about who we hire to ensure the calibre of our team remains high. Be prepared to bring your âAâ game!
We understand that relevant experience comes in all shapes and sizes and the ability to do the job is all that matters. With that in mind, we arenât going to put together a generic list of all the requirements that weâre looking for with this job, however, there are certain things we are looking for - specifically:
* Do you get irrationally excited when you see branding done right at other companies?
* You are amazing with typography and layout.
* You have lots of motion design experience and have developed animated ads for social media and banners.
* Are you able to rapidly pick up new tech & graphic styles, specifically around motion graphics and other cutting edge areas?
* Are you comfortable working in a fast-paced, experimental environment where rapid learning is a major priority?
* Have you been able to collaborate & communicate successfully with others in a cross-functional team?
* Do you have very high standards for your work and desire to work with other talented people?
* Are you a natural visual storyteller and excited to sprinkle some playfulness into the lives of our customers?
* Can you deal with an uncomfortable amount of goose puns?
Ok the last one isnât super work related, but we honestly do have a lot of goose puns. Itâs one of our favourite parts of our culture!
We do things differently here. Weâre all about fun, but also making an impact. We care deeply about working with amazing people, and have set up our company culture specifically for that - our compensation is competitive, our work environment is autonomous and collaborative, and our emphasis is on learning and growth. Put simply, itâs the type of company we actually want to work at ourselves!
So, this is us, standing in front of you, asking you to join us.
