As Was is currently looking to add one Creative Director to our team! The main role of the Creative Director is to determine the design direction for new clients, work with our artists, manage the project through rounds of revisions, and act as liaison between our team and the clients. Once the design gets final approval, the project moves on to the Account Manager.

We're in Tucson, AZ. You're wherever you are in the USA, and you have a home office setup where you can separate yourself from any other beings who share your living space! :) As Was staff are currently in the USA, Canada, the UK, and South Africa. We're not doing the India, Pakistan, Philippines, Asia thing.

You.
  • Enjoy buying and selling on eBay, and you have great feedback. You "get" eBay.
  • You have previous art direction experience, and are great with project management.
  • You have a fantastic eye for design, and love to dream up the extraordinary to make each client remarkable.
  • Know marketing, and have great ideas for all categories of seller. You're going to come up with most of the ideas for our clients, so you need to really know marketing and be darn creative! You're probably well read and know pop culture of various decades.
  • Are great on the phone, on live text chat, and over email. You express yourself well, English is your native language, and you're naturally friendly and patient. You're a great teacher.
  • Know enough Photoshop to mock up an idea if you need to for one of our artists.
  • Write well and have lovely grammar.
  • Have a great sense of humour and fun personality.
  • Know your way around Microsoft Office including Outlook.
  • Can fantastically schedule your own day, be self-directed, and manage yourself. We are not going to tell you what to do and when to do it. You'll get projects and tasks, you'll work directly with clients, and you'll need to make sure you're meeting deadlines and keeping people thrilled.
  • Want something that's not your typical day job! Nearly every day, you'll have new clients, new projects, new tasks, and changes somebody wants to something. This job does not fall into any routine.
  • Have a suitable home office/fortress, free from distractions.
  • Can keep selling while working for us as long as you can balance the two.
  • Can join us full time as a consultant or salaried employee.
  • Love our work, and want to be part of what we do for eBay sellers!
We.
  • Love helping eBay sellers start and grow their businesses. It's our passion!
  • We choose clients carefully, so you will love them too.
  • Will train you on how to do what we do the way we do it.
  • Refuse to micromanage. You need to motivate yourself and meet deadlines.
Here are some of the duties in no particular order:
  • Having the preliminary project call with the client to determine the artistic direction.
  • Communicate the decided direction to our artist.
  • Review what the artist creates to make sure it matches the call you had and lives up to or exceeds As Was standards.
  • Show the work to the client.
  • Manage the client and artist through the revisions. Advise the client when you think he or she might be making a mistake. We're consultants, and people hire us for our advice.
  • Representing us at conferences if you're great with face-to-face with eBay sellers.
Duties not on your plate:
  • If clients want more services, you can quote them, and get approved services going. You are not commissioned, there is no quota, and you are under no obligation to sell things to people. We only sell services to clients who will really benefit from them. No pressure for you, no pressure for them.
  • Business development. If another company wants a closer or different relationship with us, our President will handle that.
