Art Director

Job descriptions are tricky. Are we telling you what we want to hear you say about yourself, or what we want to hear us say about ourselves? Maybe both? Truth is, we’re looking for the same kind of Art Director every agency is: Someone with exceptional talent, professionally and personally, with an intrinsic commitment to improving both skillsets. You’re insightful, interesting, interested, a joy to be around, obviously better than other Art Directors and wholly incapable of admitting it.  

  

And, truth is, we don’t really think we’re like most agencies. We’re small, independent, structurally quite flat, deeply concerned for each other, abnormally transparent, pleasantly collaborative, adamantly ego-free, and currently enjoying enough momentum to believe we’re doing something right. If we’re describing you and the kind of place you belong, seems like we’d both be happiest if we chatted some more. 

• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, short-term disability (STD), voluntary long-term disability (LTD), and voluntary life/AD&D.

• 3% 401k contribution.

• “Unlimited” paid time off (PTO) for vacation days.

• 27 paid days off, which includes 16 holidays, a 1-week agency closure in July, and a 2-week agency closure in December.

• 2 weeks fully remote per year.

• Discretionary annual bonus.

• Each employee receives a $1,500 personal training credit annually, known as the WIP Fund, to allow for personal or professional growth in specific interest or passion areas.

We believe every brand, and person, should be a work in progress.

It’s why the founding partners opened the agency in 2016, and why WorkInProgress helps brands boldly take action, innovate, and create to prove why they exist. Then we use those actions to create the most memorable advertising.

As an independent agency, we strive to prove that an agency can care as much about a client’s business as they do. And that advertising can play a fundamental role in building and growing a company.

We’re always looking for smart, creative, and passionate people that care more about changing a company than winning awards.

Inventors more than ad people. Problem solvers more than portfolio puffery pushers. No assholes. No egos. No hiding because you can’t do the job. No selfishness. No disrespecting people or their time. Insanely talented, yet incredibly humble. In other words, one in a million. Lucky for us, we want to stay small and independent.

Our office is located in Boulder, CO, and we require employees to work from the office Tuesdays and Thursdays.
