ABOUT YOU

You’re highly collaborative. You give and receive feedback easily. You have a “yes, and” mentality. 

You’re proactive. You bring a “can do” attitude to work. You’re comfortable working independently, aren’t afraid to bring new ideas to the table, and foresee needs and opportunities before they arise. 

You’re multi-disciplinary. You feel comfortable designing across all kinds of mediums and for various audiences, no task too large or small. 

You're eager to learn. You love a challenge and are constantly looking for ways to level up your skills. 

You love design. You believe in the power of design to solve problems, clarify understanding, and drive action — not to make pretty pictures. 

About New Story We pioneer solutions to end global homelessness. We work with local organizations around the world to build successful, thriving communities, and we are fully committed to researching and developing new ways of building better and faster.

Over the course of the year we spend a large chunk of our time at work. So at New Story, we want our team to find fulfillment, autonomy, mastery, and joy at work.

An extreme ownership mindset where you see a problem, take action, and go above and beyond to help the team. • Think Big, Breakdown, and Execute. Set big measurable goals, formulate a plan, then execute the plan with relentless focus. • Simplify. Do more with less. This applies to everything: marketing, design, team meetings, writing, operations, and beyond.
