Does your heart leap at a well organized spreadsheet and do you find glee whipping out your admin arsenal of organizing, devising and planning to help the team and greater goals?  Are you excellent at anticipating needs? Being "detail-oriented" and "quick" don't always go together, but for this job both of those traits alongside being self-motivated, adaptable, a problem solver and accountable are exactly the person we seek to succeed within our very fast-moving and high volume video agency.

Jpixx is a pack of video-making artists and producers who need a dedicated organizational extraordinaire to join our team.  The artist and the admin organizer don't always understand how the other can create the magic that they do - but it is the yin and yang, each depending and respecting one another's talents that makes the team work. Artists need folks around them who can effortlessly organize, forecast what is needed, connect the gaps and follow through to the end.

The tasks set before a small business "everything admin" person are numerous and various, but should come easy to a person who naturally wants to help people. In our environment, you can never expect the day to go as planned, you must be ready for curveballs and changes as new and pressing tasks come out of thin air. The right candidate will thrive in a high volume, busy atmosphere able to keep priorities straight and moving through.  This position will need to be physically within our Virginia Beach office 5 days a week, during regular business hours.

How is this role different from typical office roles?  

• We have a casual friendly work environment and operate differently than a typical office e.g. you will be amidst the hum of editing machines  (where you may be asked to proof and critique a video) as a ping pong ball bounces in the background.
• We are making movie magic every day, so you may have seemingly absurd tasks at times; like picking up the largest teddy bear in the 757, or deliver a fisheye lens to the beach.
• We are a growing small business and we are constantly evolving for the better, so we need someone who can flow with the change, likes variety in their day and is looking for new ways to innovate process.
