I am looking for someone to lead creatively with me, to build something.

I need a great designer AND someone who can lead other designers as they create.

You will create, you will strategize, you will dream.

Not just for us, but to birth great artists for other churches.

I’m looking for someone that not only has design chops but can also partner with me to build this team and grow with it.

At first I called this a Sr. Designer but I wasn’t setting the right expectation…it’s more than that. I was hesitant to call it Art Director as it’s not your typical art director position, as you’ll be creating much of the art that we use. You will create, you will also lead.

But it is much more than a title. Your title will be Art Director (or maybe we’ll come up with something fancy like Experience Artist) but I’m looking for someone to work with me to build something that makes a difference, that makes an impact on how we do church.

I am building a team that helps not just this church but be a resource and example to the global church of how to craft an amazing church experience, do we share this passion? If it does email me: michael /AT/ holycow.org (this is for the church but our gatekeeping software probably will bounce you when you attach a portfolio, etc.)

This is a full time, full benefits, flexible and fun opportunity in Atlanta.

Are you passionate about creating user-friendly, efficient, and memorable web applications? Do you live & breath digital? Do you have a good understanding of human behavior in the digital world? Do you want to work in a customer driven environment? Do you enjoy creating experiences for thousands of users across many countries? Do you have an entrepreneurial spirit and genuinely want to be part of building the legacy of how startup companies are built and funded in the future? If so, we have the job for you! Grow VC is looking for a talented and driven User Experience (UX) Architect to join our growing global team.

Main tasks (these will change as we go along):
1. Working with the Lead User Experience Architect, Visual Designer and Developers to complete user experience deliverables for the new Grow VC UI (e.g. wireframes of specific pages)
2. Getting involved with creating UX architectures of our portfolio clients’ websites and applications

This role is NOT for someone:
- Who thinks they will work with us for a few months, earning enough money to retire for the rest of their lives
- Who thinks partying and bumming around is more important than getting the job done
- Who is not willing to learn new things
- Who is content with doing the same thing over and over again, because it has always worked before

Why do we say entrepreneurial?

Working with us is much like being a core part of an open source project, but you actually earn ownership in Grow VC from what you are building together with the rest of our team. In fact all our global team are working with this model, where all of us are committed to building this venture and creating something monumental.

Along the way, you will learn a lot about how startups are built and funded, what it takes to build a global venture and make meaningful connections. Being part of our team, we are naturally glad to help each other out now and in the future.

It’s possible to work remotely and part time, as long as the average hours per week are productive and purposeful for both us and you (10+ hours per week).

If you have what it takes and are interested to build the future of startup funding, make your bid and / or send a message and we will send you more details.

Grow VC also works with partner organizations in our development, for example software companies. For company partners of various sizes, that see the potential in what we are building, this model provides a way in to diversify the portfolio and operations, and naturally being part of building a global venture. For us, our partners are a core part of our team and have a real interest and stake in building the global network and community that is Grow VC.

We are looking for extra freelance designers to work with us on client work; we are based in the UK but location is not a problem as you will work remotely. The role will be ad hoc design work as part of a co working team.
