The Electron Shop is a rapidly-growing agency singularly focused on becoming the Chief Digital Officer and guiding digital transformation for companies of many sizes and industries.  Founded in 2013, the company is guided by two successful agency entrepreneurs and who have worked on major brands together and apart since 1995.  The Electron Shop’s number one benefit and requirement is a workplace of smart people, primarily because we think smart people are also funny.  And we like to laugh.  We don’t have ping-pong tables, foosball or other idle toys; we are very passionate about bringing the power of digital to clients who are under pressure to grow their businesses.  Oh, and we don’t allow anyone to be mean.  There is a strict no a**hole rule here.

We have an immediate opening for a web designer in our digital shop.  The ideal candidate is unapologetically DIGITAL, comes from a digital design background, gets how technology advances marketing, and loves to play with everything from product design to snackable content for social media.
