How We Work at Job Portraits
- Our team is fully remote (and has been from day one). We trust our team members to find collaborative work rhythms that work best for them.
- We understand that Job Portraits’ work is just one of many things that makes our team members’ lives meaningful. That means we encourage everyone to take regular vacations, as well as breaks during the work day to do things like exercise, visit a therapist or coach, walk their dog, or spend time with their family.
- We want work at Job Portraits to provide opportunities for personal — as well as professional — growth. We ask our team members to engage with their emotions, not just their intellects. We believe that vulnerability and radical candor — practiced within Job Portraits and with our clients — help build the connections and trust that allows us to excel at our work and grow into the best versions of ourselves.

Compensation and Benefits
The Account Manager would begin as a contractor position with the goal of becoming a full-time hire within three months. The salary for an Account Manager will fall between $60k-$70k, depending on the level of the candidate’s experience.
Full-time benefits include subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance coverage as well as life insurance and 401k matching. We also encourage employees to take time off; we offer unlimited paid leave, but not as a code for ”you won’t actually get to take any leave.” We trust employees to manage their time, but as an example, most people take 3-4 weeks of vacation throughout the year, and we close for the last 2 weeks of December so no one is working then. It's also common for people to take half or full days off on a regular basis to support their unique working schedules and wellness needs.
Interested? We welcome everyone who is passionate about our mission and feels they can contribute to our work, and we especially encourage candidates from historically excluded and marginalized groups to apply.
