Creative Technologist
JOB DESCRIPTION
OneMethod is looking for a rare mix of design fluency and technical acumen in this director level position. You'll contribute to projects from end to end, working with our talented team of designers and developers to add a new dimension to our pitches, concepts and finished products. You'll also lead and inspire our dev team; we're not looking for Linus Torvalds but you should know about best practices and shouldn't stare blankly if GIT, OOP and MVC are mentioned.This dare-to-be-great situation requires you to be a leader who can see beyond the immediate problem and bring more than just the latest and greatest tech trends to the table. Knowing current industry trends and techniques is expected, but so is understanding when to use them, avoid them or turn them on their head to do something totally different. Also, you gotta have heart – commitment to making something you're proud of isn't optional. While we all focus on our strengths, nobody here says, "That ain't my job."
This is a great place to work, but it's fast-paced and challenging. Our top priority is turning-out work that solves our client's problems and makes them (and us) look great. You'll work with a creative, dedicated group of people and have a real chance to make yourself and us even better.
Areas of Responsibility:
• Collaborate with the Account/PM team to manage resources, deliverables and timelines
• Be an active participant in pitches from conception to presentation
• Understanding our clients business and providing technical solutions that deliver results
• Sharing your strong grasp of digital trends and best practices with the firm as a whole
• Managing all outside web development partners and freelancers
• All aspects of Information Architecture
Required Skills and Experience:
• You don't need to be a full-on developer but you should be able to actually make stuff
• Uncompromising standards
• Great communication skills and writing are a big plus
• Knowing that social media strategy means more than a fan page and a good Klout score
• Bad-ass portfolio showing how you think technology should be used
• Strong business and marketing understanding
Any of the following are great bonuses:
• We love WordPress, we hope you do too
• Frolicking through apache from the command line
• Good understanding of GIT
• Personal projects that you've designed or built
