While COVID-19 conditions persist, we are working completely remotely. However, under normal conditions this is not a remote position. Should it become safe to return to the office, you'll be asked to work in our downtown Raleigh office with the rest of the team 3 days per week.

Go Fish Digital offers great health care benefits (with a significant portion paid by the company) and a flexible, balanced work schedule.

We believe that when our team members can be their authentic selves at work, our community becomes more confident, creative, and productive.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLYING

In addition to your resume, you must write a custom cover letter and include your salary requirements. If the website you're using to apply doesn't allow you to attach a separate cover letter, combine it with your resume into a single document. This is extremely important, as you will not be considered without a cover letter. This ensures you can follow directions and have read all the way down to here. ☺

We'll read your cover letter first, so really personalize it and let it showcase your personality and strengths. This should not be a stiff, copy-and-paste piece of writing. Be real, be yourself, and make us want to learn more about you. Stand out from the crowd!

(Seriously, we eliminate any applicant who doesn't follow these cover letter instructions. Don't skip it.)
