Hello there, 'Shroom readers! We're currently looking for a new Design Manager to join our staff team. As of last year, the role has been retooled to be more of a managerial role that deals with our volunteer artists and delegates responsibilities as necessary, instead of being expected to create the majority of the paper's visual assets. If you think you might be interested, read on!

The duties of the Design Manager include:
  • Reaching out to our volunteer artists as needed and maintaining communication with them until the project is completed, while ensuring that the requests and expectations of anyone follow the guidelines in our 'Shroom Artist thread.
  • Involvement in planning special issues and largely overseeing their visual direction.
  • Serving as a point of contact for members of the community who wish to sign up to be volunteer artists for the paper.
  • Being available to create assets on short notice. We're not asking anyone to be a jack-of-all-trades, but in the event that things don't go as planned, the Design Manager should have the flexibility to step in themselves or make the call to scale back.
Some CSS knowledge is a plus, but not required. Basic skills can be learned with experience, and several of our staff members are able to help along the way.

If you're interested, please send your application to Waluigi Time and Sparks with a brief introduction and why you think you would be a good fit for the position. If you would like to, you can also include some samples of your work. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time! The application period closes .
