Careers

We’re not hiring at the moment, but would love to connect still.

Take a crash course on Hoot culture.

The secret to happy employees is giving a damn about them, and at Hoot Design Company we value our team members above all else.

We believe people can become their best selves through work. We want to provide a place where that can happen, and help businesses who believe the same, thrive.

Independence

Each Tuesday is a work from home day for our team, and everyone is encouraged to book appointments and run errands throughout the day. People use Tuesdays how they’d like: some stay home in their pajamas, some use it to knock out personal responsibilities, and others come into the office. The point is that how they spend their Tuesdays is their prerogative — as long as the work gets done, nobody asks questions.

Families

As a women-led agency, we understand the importance of family. When members of our team expand their families, we create personalized plans that set them up for success — both at home and at work. And of course, those plans always include paid parental leave.

We also offer flexible scheduling each and every day so that our employees can spend time with the people they care about. When our team comes into the office at the time that works best for them, everyone works better.

Personal Lives

Our “Client Perks” program allows our employees to use our clients’ services at no cost to them. Everyone enjoys complementary health and wellness benefits, which help improve their personal lives. When our employees feel fulfilled and happy outside of work, they bring a better version of themselves to the office every day.

In The Office

Our office culture goes beyond beer Fridays and ping pong tables. We genuinely enjoy one another, which makes weekly meetings fun and our biannual retreats special. We push each other to be better with things like our office book club and our radical candor. And we celebrate one another with birthday bagels, pre-wedding champagne, and handwritten notes. There are no Monday scaries when you work with us.

Our Values

  • When we call people to action, internally or externally, we create change, and we move culture forward.

    This type of magic requires emotional investment, emotional investment requires emotional literacy and emotional literacy leads to emotional maturity. When we know our emotional selves, and we are living our purpose, we tap into a soulful joy only accessible through this personal work.

    Joy is different from happiness, happiness is a state of being, typically momentary, joy is a full body/full spirit response to living our purpose. When we live in joy, not every moment will be happy, but those moments define us and bring us closer to our true selves.

    When we experience joy, we don’t lose ourselves, we become more ourselves. -- Matthew Kuan Johnson

  • Candor is the commitment to revealing ourselves to draw us closer to those around us.

    Candor is caring enough about the people and the place in which we live to lean into the discomfort of revealing ourselves.

    Candor is being clear. Clear is kind.

    Candor is being someone others can be candid with, and being connected enough to your own emotion to manage that feedback cycle.

    Candor is personal. It’s being brave enough to turn inward and mine for truth.

    “You can't give a damn about others if you don't give a damn about yourself.” -- Kim Scott

  • Collaboration is easy to say and hard to do. Collaboration is the philosophy that we are stronger together than we ever could be apart. That’s true for our work-team and our client-partners.

    Collaboration means we embrace curiosity, and we challenge our internal biases and preconceived notions. We are committed to listening, circling back and having hard conversations.

    Collaboration means we respect the work, and we prioritize the product over the process. This often looks like stepping into the unknown together so we can experience the magic of change.

    “Collaboration requires daring leadership from everyone on the team. It means having tough conversations, staying curious, and learning how to listen.” -- Brene Brown
