NOW HIRING: Visual & Graphic Production Artist

Company: Nathan James

Website: http://www.nathanajames.com

Headquarters: Montreal, Canada


Nathan James is looking for a Visual & Graphic Production Artist to join our team to support the Brand Division’s e-commerce and e-interior design initiatives.

We are a design-first, home furnishing company focusing on the habits of urban dwellers and first time home buyers. We pride ourselves on the best in class customer happiness, providing the highest possible quality products that are affordable for the majority and assembly that isn’t dreadful.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The role will report to the Chief Design Officer and you will work collaboratively with the Product Team to curate beautiful virtual room designs for our products to be displayed in. Photography is required when we launch a new wave of products. These images will be published on our retailer partner websites such as Amazon, Wayfair, Home Depot, Walmart etc. Once the room designs are completed, you will hand off the design spec to our 3D team who use 3D technology to create lifelike imagery.

During the period when photography is not required, our Brand team acts as a service provider for our Digital Marketing and Product teams. The Visual & Graphic Production Artist will work on requests which can range from website landing page assets, tear sheets, additional product photography for holiday’s, vendor instruction sheet improvements and short ‘brand-voice’ copywriting. As well as actively posting on our social media channels (currently focused on Instagram + Pinterest).

ABOUT US

We have a rhythm to our work and a very low turnover rate — we have yet to have a single team member opt out. Your voice matters to us. We make change from fresh perspectives and appreciate new viewpoints, so you should feel comfortable speaking up about your values and goals.

We’re ready for the ongoing work that goes into building an inclusive, supportive place for you to do the best work of your career. Our values, workplace and our benefits are designed to support a sustainable, healthy relationship with your work. Our operating values provide the framework we use in building a healthy, resilient organization.

You can expect a mindful onboarding process with ramp-up and time to learn. You can expect a team that listens, and to be heard. You can expect to give and provide direct feedback. You can expect to work with good people. You can expect to be counted on. You can expect to do your best work and build a career here.

ABOUT YOU

We’re looking for someone that has a full range understanding and passion for design with a background in graphic design (web) and e-commerce photography. Expert knowledge of Adobe Suite (Photoshop and Indesign) is required.

Having an interior design ‘eye’ is required for this role as you will be designing virtual rooms.

You will be joining a team of 3 remote designers, which will require outstanding communication and organization abilities, both verbal and written.

For this role we do require that your normal workday has at least 4 hours overlap with both PST & EST workday without impinging on your personal/family life.

This is a remote role, since we are a remote company! You’re free to work where you work best, anywhere in the world: home office, coworking space, or coffee shops. That hinges on effective writing, self-discipline, and comfort with open communication.

BENEFITS & PERKS

NOW HIRING: Customer Support Rep

Company: RescueTime

Website: https://www.rescuetime.com

Headquarters: Seattle, Washington, United States


The 10,000-foot view:

What’s RescueTime? RescueTime is like Fitbit for your digital life–we measure how people spend their time across all their devices and then give them tools and insights to help them spend it more productively. Our hundreds of thousands of customers are almost entirely individuals who are looking to be more effective. * Hours and schedule: 15 hours/week to start (we’re open to expanding the role to full-time for the right candidate). You’ll have lots of flexibility in which hours you work. * Compensation: $30/hr * Location: Work from anywhere (RescueTime has been all-remote since before Covid)

Here’s what your average day will look like:

Each day, you’ll assist people through our support channels (mostly a ticket system, but some live chat), lend a hand on Twitter and Facebook, and be on the lookout for opportunities to improve the customer experience.

Having successful customers isn’t just important to our business, but is a core part of the value RescueTime brings into the world. As a tech support rep, you’ll help smart people do more work that’s personally meaningful and important to them. It’s fulfilling but also demanding.

Responsibilities

  • Respond to support requests from our customers via our help desk platform, phone, live chat, and occasionally social media.
  • Pay attention to customer feedback and work directly with the rest of our CS team to improve our processes and product. Our customers have a lot to say and we need to absorb it.
  • Track customer support effectiveness by developing systems to help us understand how we’re responding to customers and track areas where we can improve.
  • Work closely with the engineering team to solve bugs and system issues affecting users.
  • Create and maintain our user knowledge base.

Who’s a good fit for this position?

You’ll be an ideal new coworker at RescueTime if you get satisfaction from:

  • Getting to the root of a customer’s problems and finding solutions that make them smile
  • Learning and mastering new software
  • Speaking up and being a part of a collaborative team
  • Being focused and efficient–support requests can occasionally pile up and we’re looking for someone who is organized and cool under occasional pressure
  • Finding more efficient ways to help our customers whether that’s through live chat or developing a library of templates for the most common customer issues

This is a front-line position with lots of direct interaction with our customers. You should be able to manage lots of conversations and be patient enough to deal with the occasional customer who is just having a really bad day.

You’ll need these qualifications

  • 2 or more years of experience in a customer support/success capacity (ideally with lots of written and online interaction).
  • You’re a pro at diagnosing peculiar software issues and helping less (and sometimes more!) technical folks navigate their way to success.
  • A proven track record of efficient written communication
  • An even and cheerful temperament.
  • A fast and reliable internet connection, a quiet place to have occasional video calls, and a solid desktop/laptop computer (Mac or Windows).

It would be great if:

  • You’re excited about personal development–stuff like Fitbit, RescueTime, etc.
  • You are genuinely interested in fiddling with technology–software, hardware, mobile, desktop, you name it!
  • You’re a RescueTime user (or you are at least familiar with it)
  • You’re familiar with any of the other tools we use, like Slack, Google Docs, Help Scout, and Coda.
  • You have a keen interest in software usability.
  • You know how things work on social media (Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc) and have an interest in marketing and community management there.

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team

We think solving the hard problems around meaningful work takes all sorts of perspectives. We are an equal opportunity employer and welcome people of different backgrounds, experiences, and abilities.

Location
🌏 Worldwide

How do you apply?

Send an email to hello@rescuetime.com with the subject line “Customer Support Representative”.

Please include a PDF resume or link to an online profile (LinkedIn) as well as a brief description of your most relevant experience. Also, be sure to tell us a bit about your availability. When can you start? Are you interested in part-time or full-time work?

In addition to the standard stuff, please tell us the following:

What new software have you used over the past 5 years that has changed how you work?
If you were a CS rep at RescueTime and a customer requested a new feature that was on our roadmap, how would you reply?

What unusual qualities do you have that would make you stand out from other people interested in this position?
