Utilica

Work with us

Short projects. Paid. Done from anywhere.

Utilica is new and small. We are not hiring a big team: we bring people in for a specific piece of work, agree it up front and pay for it. Here is what we need right now.

ApplySee the roles

Motion Graphics Designer

  • Short-term
  • Paid per project
  • Remote
Apply for this

Short videos that show what Utilica does in a few seconds: a page being built, a QR code being scanned, an order being paid. Mostly for social, some for the site.

What you would do

  • Product clips of 10 to 30 seconds for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, in vertical and square
  • A launch video of about a minute that explains Utilica to someone who has never seen it
  • Small looping animations for the website and for feature pages
  • Captions and simple sound, so a clip works with the sound off and on

What we need from you

  • A reel or portfolio with motion work you made yourself
  • Your own tools and the skill to use them: After Effects, or whatever you work best in
  • The eye to work inside a brand that already exists: our logo, our lime green, our type
  • Clear writing, since we will work by message, not meetings
  • A first cut within about a week of agreeing a brief

Good to have

  • Product or interface animation, where the screen is the star
  • Short-form video that performed well, and why you think it did
  • Basic sound design

Marketing Specialist

  • Part-time to begin
  • Short-term
  • Remote
Apply for this

Get Utilica in front of the people it is built for: food trucks, market stalls, salons, cafes and creators who sell from one link. Plan it, do it, and tell us plainly what worked.

What you would do

  • Plan and run the launch on social, starting with one or two channels done well
  • Write posts, short guides and emails in plain words for small sellers
  • Reach out to small businesses and creators who would use it, one at a time
  • Find the communities and places our users already are, and show up there usefully
  • Keep track of what brings sign-ups, and drop what does not

What we need from you

  • Examples of marketing you ran yourself, with what it achieved
  • Good, plain writing. No hype
  • Comfort with short video, or working alongside someone who makes it
  • The habit of starting small, measuring, and changing course
  • The independence to run with a goal without daily direction

Good to have

  • You have launched something on a small budget before
  • You know the world of small sellers or creators first-hand
  • The basics of search: what people type, and writing pages that answer it

Good at something we have not listed?

Tell us anyway. Choose "Something else" in the form and say what you would do for Utilica. We keep good people in mind for the next project.

How it works

  1. 01

    Send the form

    Tell us which role, show us your work and say what you usually charge. It takes a few minutes.

  2. 02

    We read it

    Every application is read by a person. If it looks like a fit, we email you, usually with a first small project in mind.

  3. 03

    Agree it, then start

    The work, the price and the date are agreed in writing before you begin. If the first project goes well, there may be more.

Straight about the money

Our budget is small. These are paid projects with a price agreed before you start, not salaried jobs with benefits. If your rate is beyond us, we will say so quickly and not waste your time.

What you get

Real work on a product that is live, a clear brief, and a price agreed before you start. Work from wherever you are.
