Familiarity with industry-standard tools such as Unity, Unreal Engine, and digital art or programming software, as well as experience with curriculum development, are typically required.

Job description

Company Description

iFLIP4 is the network and brand for people to care. We're creating one home for millennials to learn about causes and take action to support them. Millennials come to iFLIP4 to read articles, watch videos and play games; to find a nonprofit they love; and to support it all in one place.

Pre-launch, we formed a partnership with the Huffington Post, we have been featured in the New York Post, and we are also the recipients of the Brown University C.V. Starr Social Entrepreneurship Fellowship.

We have iFLIP4 Ambassadors (campus representatives) on 50+ college and high school campuses in the US, UK and Canada, and iFLIP4.com has been visited by 40,000+ people in more than 150+ countries.

Some of our advisors include a former Treasurer of IBM, a former President of Tumblr, a media expert who helped launch MTV, a Fulbright winning law professor, and a senior advertising executive who ran $250 million of ad sales at Yahoo.

Job Description

We want to change the world. We're a team of fast-executing social entrepreneurs on a mission to build the future of social change. You want to change the world? This is your chance!

We are searching for an exceptional game artist to build our business with. You will work closely with the game development team and other members of the Core Team to design and develop world-changing games. These games deal with global issues, from education to poverty to human rights.

We don't want a puppet; we don't want someone to say yes and implement every feature we ask for. What we want is a partner. Someone to bounce ideas off of, someone with a vision for the future of our company, and someone who has the desire and drive to make it a reality.

We want the best of the best. We've built a team of supremely talented and dedicated individuals, and we want our game artist to be the same.

Qualifications
  • Proficient with tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, and GIMP (but really we don't care what tools you use, so long as you produce great work!)
  • Endless imagination, and a desire to use that imagination to design a truly inspiring, world-changing game
  • You want creative freedom so you can help build our brand from startup to global brand for good
  • Exceptional time management skills
  • Can do character or environment art (please specify in email or cover letter which one you are proficient in)
  • Can collaborate with a team
  • A portfolio of your work
Additional Information

This job requires a commitment of about 15 hours/week and is unpaid to start. After we raise our Angel round of funding, there is the potential for this role to grow into a full-time position with a full salary and vested equity in iFLIP4, assuming the work you do is great! We are located in East Hanover, NJ, and telecommuting is fine with us.

If you're responsible, driven, and innovative, we want to hear from you! Please send your resume and a link to your portfolio to Team [at] iFLIP4.com. Preference will be given to those who apply earliest.
