Your role is to help us put our best-foot forward by producing pieces that reflect the dynamic, snappy, no-nonsense Spiceworks-personality that the IT world has come to know (& love!). You’ll accomplish this via a wide variety of projects ranging from designing and building HTML emails and web pages, creating online banner ads, contributing to product UI design, producing print pieces, and much more!
By getting your hands dirty with a wide range of design projects, you’ll evolve a top-notch, well-rounded design skill set that’ll allow you to expand and diversify your ‘bag of tricks.’ While no two weeks (or even days!) will be the same, you’ll enjoy a dynamic environment where you’ll interact with a variety of people. And, you’ll have a darn good time while doing it!
