About The Position

The Creative Services department provides design services in support of the Content Services, Marketing, and Product Design departments. Working with the Content Services and Product Design teams, Creative assists in the design and development of our core eLearning content library and learning management system, creating visuals and interactions, and overseeing layout to ensure a high-quality finished product. Working with the Marketing team, Creative provides design work for websites, advertising, trade shows, social media, and other traditional marketing activities.

The Creative Manager is responsible for ensuring that both of those functions run smoothly. As a product-first company, a significant portion of the work is focused on the eLearning content production, making this more of a product design position than a traditional marketing creative position. As such, a background in interactive content production (magazine, interactive web, gaming) would be a strong asset.
