Qualifications
The right person for this job will be….
Communicative.
We tell stories for a living. That involves engaging and communicating with an audience online, but it also requires the ability to communicate well with our clients, and each other. We’re a small company, and you will have a lot of opportunity to add your feedback. We need someone who wants to be heard.
Great at Time Management.
Can you take a lengthy ‘to do’ list and prioritize what’s important? Can you multi-task when necessary, while continuing to perform well? Can you thrive in a bustling and interactive environment, and still get your work done? If so, you’ll fit right in!
Uncommonly organized.
We are a quickly growing company, expanding in the fields of social media, web design and video production. We interface with dozens of companies at a time. You won’t be bored here, but you will need to keep your ducks in a row.
Skilled at Problem Solving.
At KWSM, we are relentless in the pursuit of the right answer. We dig deep to solve a client’s sticking point, and we do it with a smile on our face. Are you smooth when faced with a major dilemma? If you have accountability, flexibility, and a drive for results, we want someone like you on our team.
Team-oriented.
We have a very collaborative office, and want to work with people who want to be part of a team. If you’re the kind of person who likes the door to their office closed, you probably won’t be happy here. (Our offices don’t actually have doors.)
Passionate.
We want to work with people who are passionate. About what doesn’t really matter. If you have the ability to get excited about something and throw yourself into it, you will fit in well here.
