About On Fire Media

On Fire Media is a team of passionately creative professionals who believe that doing fulfilling work is an essential part to living a happy life. Plus, we get to do it all while being a part of a vibrant Catholic community.

We're a family-like team of techies, creatives, and theologians, who work remotely and use our gifts and talents to serve purpose-driven clients. We are proud of our clients as they do incredible work and we're excited that we get to be a part of their stories.

We pair creative playfulness with best practices in marketing and web design, to create authentically Catholic marketing, websites, and content that connects people, captivates, and inspires.

At the center of everything we do is not just our clients, but our dedication to supporting our team and their families. Our unique company culture is built upon our mutual love of Jesus Christ and undivided lives which integrate faith, work, family life, friendship, and service.

If you're looking for a new opportunity to fuse your Catholic faith with your career while joyfully sharing your skills with a team who really cares about you, then you've come to the right place. Let's chat!

About Our Team

Our Creative Team is divided up into Project Teams. Our Lead Designers report to a Team Leader and work closely with their teammates to help our clients do their good work better.

Each team is tasked with creating work that is good, true, and beautiful and makes our clients happy.

We support our clients with strategy, branding, copywriting, digital and print design, digital marketing, CPC advertising, and web development. We work diligently to help our clients build stronger relationships and make measurable impacts on the world.

We believe our best work is done when it flows out of relationships-a prayerful relationship with God, a collaborative relationship with team members, and a servant relationship with clients.

Our Lead Designers must have real humility, empathy, and enough vulnerability to have open and honest communication that places our clients' needs above their own expertise. Lead Designers must be resilient and dynamic. We must love participating in the process of creative work more than the fruits of our own creative efforts. Our clients must always be the hero of the story and never ourselves.

What Kind of Work Are We Talking About

Lead Designers are responsible for working directly with clients to strategize, develop branding, site-map, wireframe, and UX/UI design and develop websites using On Fire Media's proprietary CMS and/or WordPress with Elementor Pro as the team needs.

Lead Designers report to Project Leaders and work collaboratively with Lead Copywriters and Technicians to help purpose-driven clients do more good and have a bigger impact.

Execute strategies and quality design work across many project types, including but not limited to:

•Marketing
•Client branding
•UX/UI design
•Website design
•Digital & Print advertising
•Email Campaigns

Lead designers use their expertise to coach and mentor team members to help them understand the principles of good design, and are responsible for ensuring any design work from technicians is aligned with brand guidelines and our own standards of excellence.

For Whom Are We Looking

We value team members who are passionate about collaborating with others to bring extraordinary ideas to life. We love working with team members who lead integrated lives and whose personal values are apparent to everyone.

We're looking for a team member with:

An understanding that our identity is not found in work, but in the Father by whom we are fearfully and wonderfully made.
•A bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Graphic Design and/or Web Design is preferred but not necessary if you have the necessary skill sets from professional experience.
•An impressive portfolio showcasing stunning work across a variety of projects, and proficiency with today's top design software, such as Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, and WordPress.
•Some knowledge of and experience with HTML and CSS.
•Experience creating and/or working in brand systems, adhering to branding guidelines, and executing a brand across various mediums and projects.
•Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to share design best practices and rationale clearly in a way that builds up the relationship with our clients.
•A well-developed sense of initiative and a strong work ethic with the desire to produce quality results for our clients and team members.
•Ability to work remotely without distraction and maintain professionalism in appearance and dress.
•Ability to balance quality, time, and budget to produce the best possible work on every project, and to foresee and identify potential problems and solicit suggestions for improvement.
•Ability to be solution-focused, a voice of reason and compromise, always looking for creative and innovative ways to make things work for the client, end-users, and our company business goals.
•Technical aptitude, the ability to quickly learn new concepts and tools, and a personal commitment to continuously improve technical skills, efficiency, communication, and collaboration skills, etc.
•An openness to give and receive constructive feedback to team members, and work together with others towards one goal, showing respect for each other, and leaving personal agendas at home.

What We Offer

Above all, we have put together a team who truly believes in each other, looks out for each other, and wants to see everyone succeed. We offer that belief in you and that support in everything you do at work and in your personal life.

We financially reward quality work, but the ideal team member should also work for what's best for the whole team. We win as a team, we're rewarded as a team, and we have high goals and expectations.

We've been discerning when choosing the amazing clients we serve. We don't let our team members suffer abuse from clients for the sake of profits. We stand up for our team members.

We're in this for the long haul. If you're looking for a stepping stone, you need not apply. We are looking for someone who can scale with us... someone to start as a Part-Time Contractor and who can eventually work up to Full-Time status.

Location

We believe that our team members thrive more by being near family and the communities they've worked so hard to establish. That's why we work remotely.

At the same time, we believe that the culture and community of On Fire Media are critically important to our mission of serving clients and helping our employees thrive. So, we are committed to doing everything we can to provide a culture that helps our employees flourish and allows us to better serve our clients.

Next Step

If you think you'd be a good fit, we'd like to meet you.
