Advance your digital marketing career at a fast-growing company alongside smart, vibrant, reliable, supportive teammates.
We act with intention.
It doesn’t matter if you’re the newest member of the team or if you’ve been around the longest — we empower and encourage everyone to take initiative, act with purpose, and challenge tradition. If something could be better and you’ve got an idea, run with it! We’ve created a work environment where anyone and everyone can be a leader in their own right. Skip the kiddie pool and the training wheels. Be fearless.
We say what we mean.
Honesty and transparency are crucial to our success, not just as a business, but as teammates, collaborators, and friends, too. As a member of the team, you have full insight into the inner workings of the business. From the get-go, you have access to knowledge and information other companies typically keep hidden. Being guarded isn’t really our style, and we want you to feel comfortable speaking up, asking questions, and pushing back. Be bold.
We rely on each other.
Micromanaging has no place here, so you can feel comfortable and confident that your boss won’t be hovering over your shoulder while you’re trying to work. With that freedom and independence comes an expectation of mutual reliability; we trust each other to complete high-quality work on time and with integrity. Much of our work is collaborative and sequential, so we all have to contribute in order to succeed. Be dependable.
We care for one another.
When we say love, we don’t mean the romantic kind; we mean the kind that’s focused on our collective well-being. Beyond just being employees or members of a team, we’re all part of the Blackhawk community. Being part of this community means fostering an environment where everyone feels warmly welcomed and treats each other with kindness, respect, and empathy — unconditionally. Check your ego at the door. Be compassionate.
For us, benefits go way beyond healthcare and PTO. Working at Blackhawk means being valued, supported, cared for, appreciated, and celebrated. Always.
Even though it seems great on the surface, there are weird expectations and unspoken caveats associated with “unlimited PTO.” We never want you to feel anxious about asking for time off because resting, relaxing, and having fun should be restorative, not stressful. We champion a healthy work/life balance and strongly encourage you to use all of your PTO hours. But, if you don’t end up using it all, don’t worry — up to 80 PTO hours will roll over to the following year.
We love birthdays around here, so we make sure you get some time to celebrate yours however you want. You get 8 hours of extra PTO to use whenever you want during your birthday month. It’s like a rolling paid holiday that doesn’t come from your vacation days.
When we talk about work/life balance, we sincerely mean it. We champion a shorter work week because we see the benefits. It’s not a coincidence that our employees are some of the happiest, and our retention rate is unbelievably high.
We encourage employees to be involved in their communities, lending their voluntary support to programs that positively impact the quality of life within these communities. Full time employees may take up to 24 additional PTO hours per year to participate in volunteer opportunities, programs, or initiatives of their choosing.
We encourage employees to learn new skills, explore professional interests, and advance their careers. Full time employees may take up to 16 additional PTO hours per year to participate in webinars, conferences, masterclasses, or other professional development opportunities.
We hope you won’t need to use these, but if a situation arises, they are available to you.
We want to make sure your work from home setup gives you the comfort and confidence to succeed at your job.
Full time employees are eligible for a 401K retirement savings plan and can contribute any amount they choose. Blackhawk matches 100% of employee contributions on the first 5% deferred.
We listen to scientists and experts and base our policies on their recommendations. We will always prioritize the health and safety of our employees, even when there’s not a pandemic.
We pride ourselves on a culture of mutual trust and transparency. If you need to go to the dentist or the DMV during the workday, just let us know. No need to use PTO.
Time to celebrate our successes as a team – usually in the form of a half day. In the past we’ve gone axe throwing, rented boats on Lake Austin, and once we spent the day hanging out around San Antonio visiting different restaurants and bars before going to see a Bastille concert.
Remember when Jim Halpert tried to get everyone in The Office to share a cake? It’s like that but much more fun and with way less drama.
Why start your day with clearing out your inbox when you can chat with the team over some delicious local eats? We eat tacos a lot and the company covers it — mostly on Tuesdays, but not always. That’s Austin for you – every day is Taco Tuesday.
“My experience at Blackhawk can be summarized with the cliché, "work hard, play hard." The company has a fantastic employee-centric culture, providing plenty of benefits, flexibility, and an inclusive work environment. The work can seem daunting at times, but it's extremely reassuring and rewarding to know that I have the full support of the Blackhawk team if I ever need any help!”
“Since joining the company in January 2018, I’ve had the most incredible time working at Blackhawk. The amount of growth and acceleration I’ve had in my career in such a short amount of time is truly unique. I feel so supported, uplifted, and pushed to be my best here. All while having the most FUN with such a badass team!”
“It has been incredibly fulfilling to create and build Blackhawk. In so many ways, our company is an extension of our family, especially in how we view our employees and the company values. We are people first; we believe in being open and transparent, and as owners, we combine truth with love, leadership with trust. We strive to have a company that provides its employees an environment that allows them to feel heard and cared for, while working hard and being appreciated.”
“I have worked at Blackhawk since the fall of 2018, and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. The owners truly care about their employees and everyone on the team really respects one another. It’s the best environment you could ask for. My skills have increased exponentially, allowing me to quickly advance my career. I think the best part about working here is that you aren’t a mindless drone - your work matters and really has an impact on the business as a whole.”
“Working at Blackhawk has been a fantastic experience from day one. I started in a general Residency role and realized along the way how much I love interacting and forming relationships with our clients. Now, I’m a Client Services Specialist and really enjoy my day-to-day work at Blackhawk. It is a pleasure working with such a supportive group of people.”
“I think it’s quite rare to find a workplace where you feel supported on both a professional and personal level right off the bat. I was definitely nervous about starting a brand new job remotely, but Blackhawk’s warm, inviting, enthusiastic team welcomed me right in and assuaged my anxieties. Being in the Residency program has allowed me to learn so much and has given me countless opportunities to explore my professional interests, further develop my skill set, and lay a strong foundation for my career.”

As creatives and storytellers, we’re very familiar with the importance of authenticity. Blackhawk strives to be a welcoming, inclusive environment where everyone can bring their whole selves to work every single day. We’re committed to maintaining a workplace centered around respect, candor, and transparency and enact this philosophy every day by:
We support, respect, and empower employees of all genders and strive to maintain gender equity across all job levels. Women and other marginalized genders make up 56% of the company, our leadership team is 72% women, and our company is 50% women-owned.
Mental and emotional health are critical parts of everyone’s well-being, which is why we feel so strongly about making sure Blackhawk is a safe, affirming place where employees can speak freely about mental health concerns and experiences without fear of judgement, stigmatization, or jeopardizing their jobs.
Honesty and transparency are at the core of everything we do, especially with something as important as compensation. All Blackhawk employees are presented with, and have access to, a job leveling and compensation guide, which outlines career growth trajectory as well as salary ranges for each job level and type of role.
We’ve learned from the COVID work-at-home days. That’s why at Blackhawk we come to the office two days per week. But you’ll have so much fun working here, you’ll want to be here more often.
We’re certainly very proud of our culture and the work environment we’ve created, but we also recognize that there is so much more we can do beyond this. We’re dedicated to listening and learning from our team and those around us to be the best we can be. We want Blackhawk to be a place where anyone can thrive professionally and personally.
We pledge to prioritize our employees’ mental health and well-being while simultaneously challenging the stigmatization of mental illnesses.
