Pacific: 7am to 3pm

Mountain: 8am to 4pm

Central: 9am to 5pm

GMT: 3pm to 11pm

If you are on the West Coast, you will start early. If you are in GMT, you will work into your evening. Please only apply if that schedule works for you long term.

Applicants outside this range will not be considered.

Compensation: $70,000 – $75,000 / year

Benefits: 10 days PTO, performance-based bonuses, annual company retreats

About Ravie

Ravie is the creative company built to make important moments impossible to miss. We help ambitious companies turn complex products, launches and moments of change into clear, distinctive creative ideas. Then we bring those ideas to life through design and motion, creating work that earns attention, builds understanding and moves businesses forward. Small and senior by design, our team works closely with clients from first thought all the way through final delivery, combining audience instinct, strategic judgement and exceptional craft. The result is memorable work with a strong idea at its center and an impact that feels bigger than the team behind it.

How we work

We're a fully remote, globally distributed team. We use Discord and Google Meet as our "virtual office," where the team stays on a voice/video call throughout the day so it's easy to pull in teammates for collaboration whenever needed.
