Do you love bringing beautiful, functional websites to life? Are you a stickler for details who thrives in a fast-paced environment? Inspired to solve problems and look at the big picture for clients? If so, then you could be exactly who we’re looking for.
Yakkety Yak is looking for an experienced, strategic Web Producer to be accountable for the timeline, budget and execution of our web projects from start to finish in this client-facing role.
