This past year we implemented a full tech evolution into mobile that has led to a complete company rebrand and the launch of BookedOut – but we’re not newcomers. Our team of Founders spent the past 6 years as industry leaders in the experiential marketing contractor space. We’ve activated 1,000,000 event hours (yes, 1 million), proudly providing tens of thousands of talented people with opportunities to put their skills and education to use and earn great money. With that expertise as a rock-solid foundation, we built an efficient, feature-rich mobile marketplace to scale to unlimited opportunities for everyone.
But that’s not enough. We want to build more, which is why we need you! We are looking for a Senior Designer to join our fast growing Chicago-based company and take an integral role in the continued development of the BookedOut platform.
