New York, NY -- Visual Designer -- Quartz -- http://qz.com
Quartz is a global business news media startup working out of Soho. We're less than a year old and hit 5MM unique users a month (I believe that puts us up with the likes of the Economist and FT). We're small and nimble - and no legacy hurdles to hold us back.
I am looking for a Visual Designer to work with me (dev/product), my dev team, and editorial, to build out a reader-friendly experience across web, mobile, and new applications.
The job description is for a senior position, but I would encourage any sufficiently motivate designer with the right background to apply.
Though I've done UX testing and (the non-coding side of) design for a couple companies (one YC startup, one Boost, the second being my own), I don't think I'm qualified to work as a visual designer.
Before I worked in startups, I worked in journalism-- a Detroit business magazine and at the U of Michigan newspaper. My degrees are in econ and history. Is there any chance you're hiring for other positions, writer or otherwise?
I'm really passionate about reporting on the intersection of innovation and policy, but I'll write about anything. I'd just love to be a part of your organization.
