Sick of commuting? Tired of “hybrid” jobs that are really “in office” jobs in disguise? If you're more productive at home than in an office, and want to make that arrangement permanent, we may have the position you're after.

At CarriersEdge, we're focused on producing great quality products and happy customers. We don't care about being the coolest company in town, having the most amazing office perks, or the hippest staff. If you're interested in those things, you'll hate us.

On the other hand, if you're not looking for a social group and just want to do great work, then you may be exactly what we're looking for. We don't care where you work and we won't be looking over your shoulder micromanaging you. You'll have minimal meetings disrupting your week, and plenty of time to focus on doing the best job possible. We're growing quickly, but not so quickly that things are chaotic.

As part of that growth, we've got an opening for a Marketing Communications Specialist.

The ideal candidate is a passionate storyteller with a solid foundation in the skills outlined below.

This isn't an agency where you'll get crushed by client demands and deadlines. It's also not a startup at risk of losing funding or being forced to pivot on someone's whim. Our business is established and stable, but still small enough that we can move quickly.

If that sounds like a fit for you, send us a résumé, with links to a portfolio or work samples, and let's get started!
