Work with our Award-Winning Team!
At Ivy Life & Style Media, we are dedicated to creating quality publications for our community that honor readers and serve advertisers well with thoughtful content and beautiful design. Over the years, our staff has grown from a handful of contractors to a dedicated team of full-time employees at our Ivy office, where we all enjoy a beautiful open workspace. We’re very proud to have maintained long and happy relationships with people who have left the company. In fact, our very first employee left and now works with us in a different capacity, and many staff members have left and come back as their personal needs have changed over the years. This underscores the fact that we all truly enjoy our work and value one another! We credit our 20 years of success to our enthusiasm for our work and to our staff who are uncommonly gracious, curious, smart and passionate about what they do. Ivy Life & Style Media offers excellent benefits including ongoing professional development, generous time off, a matching simple IRA and best of all, as a small creative and dynamic company, we can promise that you will never be bored!
