- A collaborator's reflex to share credit and absorb blame
- 10+ years navigating the politics that creative work attracts
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Calm under the design-led chaos a director role tends to generate
The team at Citadel is small, gloriously-unglamorous, and entirely convinced that Hot Springs is the best place to reinvent creative. Feedback flows in every direction at Citadel, from the newest hire to the people signing the $121,000 - $176,000 checks.
Open with $121,000 - $176,000, grow your Iconography under a mentor, lean on full benefits, and flex your hours the way grown-ups should.
