  • Very strong analytical problem solving skills
  • Proven experience with financial reporting and forecasting
  • At least 3 years demonstrated experience in a similar role (Experience in a startup environment or small business is strongly preferred)
  • An active appreciation for 80s rock music, or music of related greatness (We can be convinced…)
  • Bachelors in related field is preferred, but not required.

  • Willingness to travel for at least two weeks each year for company retreats.
  • Spicy meme and/or GIF skills

Bonus skills:

  • Experience managing vendors
  • Knowledge of creating tax calculations and estimated payments

Schedule

We have a very flexible schedule at School of Motion. You will be expected to work a standard 35 – 40 hour work week on EST time, but we’ll make it work whether you are an 11am-7pm person or a 7am-3pm person. Work on a schedule that works for you.

Our mission is to break down the barriers to learning, mastering, and working in Motion Design. We currently have ten comprehensive courses, over 5,000 Alumni, dozens of Teaching Assistants, and a small team of full-time staff working diligently to keep everything running! And this is only the beginning…

  • Playful
    • No Bad Vibes. Don’t take yourself too seriously, it’s only Animation.
  • Curious
    • Have interests, pursue them ruthlessly. Share your weirdness.
