You will work as a member of a team that includes a creative director, two designers, and two art directors to conceive, articulate, and create concepts for interactive media. While this team is primarly focused on large web sites, you may also have opportunities to work on online advertising campaigns, e-mail marketing, viral and other online marketing initiatives. You will report to the team Creative Director (and there is room for quick promotion to ACD depending on the trajectory of your career.)

• Ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously and effectively juggle different writing demands
• Understanding of graphic design and a keen appreciation of the interplay between textual and visual elements.
At Razorfish, the Internet is not a hobby. Technology is not something we dabble in. And digital design is not a sideline while we create print ads or television commercials. We were born digital, passionate about blending art and science, about defying the edge of what is possible. We got to be #1 because we believed — and still do — in the power of the Web to transform lives, and brands.
