Our Company

We are a collective of people who are passionate about two things: the web, and helping people. We share a love of tech, design, and business, and a gung-ho urge to zag when everyone else zigs. All of us care deeply about our work and our partners in that work. This gutsy, authentic approach makes us a great fit for eCommerce retailers throughout the country.

Gauge has grown steadily since 2007, and we take the long-term view, both in-house and with our clients, so we need someone organized, proactive, and adventurous. If you daydream about what it could look like to be part of a web company that team members and clients want to partner with for decades, we would love to talk with you. We hope you are ready to be a major part of building the culture and creative process here at Gauge.

We are based in a modern office in sunny Savannah, GA, but we have remote team members all over the United States. This Account Management position is open to both on-site and remote candidates.

Our Team

Gauge is a special place, thanks to the dedicated, ambitious, down-to-earth, and geeky people who make up our team. All of us truly invest in the clients and team members we work with. We want people who share our passion for creativity, business, and technology, so we've built a team of diverse people from entrepreneurs to project managers, designers and developers. We all work together to challenge and strengthen each other so we can do the best work of our lives. Because of this atmosphere, many team members have chosen to stay with our team for a long time. 15 of our team members (22 at this writing) have been with Gauge for 3+ years, and 5 of those have been with the team for 5+ years. We are both stable and growing.
