Producer
Being a Producer at The Groop - A digital agency. Digital projects move fast. Can you keep on top of resources, be steadily organized but flexible to changes in scope and deliverables while keeping on point, on budget and doing it with grace? The Groop needs you. We are a boutique, agile digital agency. We move fast. We are collaborative. We have projects to be run. Digital experience please. We love to teach and folks here are always learning but current deadlines means we need someone who knows the business and means business. Let us know, what you know. What it is all about from project estimation, signing a SOW, mapping out a schedule, hiring and managing resources, managing the client, the process of application design, development and execution (What is UX? How are comps created to be developed? What sort of sites/clients have you worked on?) Pitch yourself in 200 words or less to alice@thegroop.net, if there is a fit you’ll be working with us asap – so be available and ready to kick ass!

Design Intern
We are a boutique digital agency based in Downtown Los Angeles working on innovative start ups, social games and and interactive education. You are a recent graduate or are in design school / art school / architecture school and are crazy about the web. You likely live in downtown or Silverlake / Los Feliz or Hollywood. Maybe even Pasadena. You dream in RGB and love to do video, motion graphics and flash based sites. (As well as the occasional wordpress site). That said you are not a programmer and don't dig to do code - though you might be familiar with it. You like doing your work in photoshop, illustrator and rocking the user experience process. Most importantly you are keen on learning. A lot. Fast. We are working on many projects that require immaculate taste, typographic rigor and ninja photoshop skills in a fast paced environment where creativity, education, collaboration and entrepreneurship are at the core of what we do. This is full time for 2-3 months and it's a paid internship. Here is what you should expect: 1. Dynamic environment. 2. We will try to work reasonable hours but there will be times (crunch time) when the team has to be night time ninjas. 3. You will not be treated like an intern - you will be treated as a full jedi knight / designer and expected to perform as such. Intern is just a "formality" the truth is that "you are an awesome designer", not "you will be an awesome designer". 4. You MUST have great photoshop skills. 5. You MUST have great typographic skills. 6. You MUST understand the web and be immersed in the web, online video, mobile, video game culture, obscure anime and/or the odds and ends of crafting and/or cosplay. Here is what you you will get: 1. Front line view of a digital agency while working on awesome creative projects. 2. Learn from an experienced and giving team. 3. Flexible and open environment. 4. Deep understanding of the web design process. 5. Creative and design guidance and growth. 6. Access to an amazing professional network. Submission Requirements To be considered please submit: 1. Your portfolio. It must be online. If it is not online we cannot accept PDF's, links to PDF's or otherwise. It must be a site with navigation of sorts. 2. Your Resume. 3. In 200 words or less please describe why you would kick ass at the dojo.
