Company Description
Dynamic, Engaging, Business-Minded Staff Accountant Needed for Growing Creative Production and Post-Production Company
ArtClass is an incubator for creativity. We make boundary-breaking content with agencies and brands. We've assembled a diverse team that thinks and works outside of the traditional boxes that the industry is accustomed to putting them. Are we creatives, writers, directors, comedians, actors, photographers, producers, editors, animators? Yes, all of that! Often in various combinations!
Beyond our technical prowess to execute, we are immersed in all areas of modern culture and fluent at crafting content with a message that resonates with the audience wherever they're viewing it. Clients today, probably more than at any time in the past, want their work to matter. So, we've created the space and the team to achieve it while making collaboration core DNA to our own brand.
We are seeking a dynamic individual who enjoys working with entrepreneurial companies, excels in a fast-paced environment, is curious, enjoys providing a high-level of service and welcomes the challenges that come with change, learning new online software tools, managing priorities, and navigating back and forth between strategic and tactical activities. You will be on the ground floor of a growing company that has a grand vision for success. This is an awesome opportunity for the right person who is hungry for a rewarding challenge.

We encourage local candidates, but will consider remote applicants as well.
