Jiu jitsu – At least a blue belt in jiu jitsu. More experience is a bonus, as is familiarity with lapel guards and styles Keenan is known for. With outstanding professional credentials, we may be able to hire an experienced white belt. NO JIU JITSU, NO JOB.

Proven experience evaluating, developing, and executing a variety of online media campaigns.

Project Management – Experience coordinating with multiple stakeholders and teams to create digital advertising initiatives that support specific to the organization initiatives.

A/B Testing – Proven experience developing and running rigorous A/B tests, including ad copy, audience segmentation, and landing page tests.

Teamwork – Ability to work with our team and utilize tools such as Trello to make his/her work part of a team effort in achieving KO objectives.

Humor – Getting better at jiu jitsu is a serious business, but we love to use humor to promote Keenan Online, so a sense of humor is mandatory. Candidates will be asked to perform a 20 min stand up comedy set during the interview process. Just kidding, lol. Or am I?

While SoCal, especially San Diego residents will have priority in the selection, many of our team members work remotely.

Anti-corporate environment. Keenan and his team didn’t persist in jiu jitsu, often against advice to find more traditional employment, to wear suits, work in cubicles and hate their life. While we’re very serious about dominating the online jiu jitsu world, we have a lot of fun and we value freedom.

We can guarantee that advertising Keenan Online will be more fun than anything you’ve done previously, because of the creativity and humor that is allowed and encouraged.

Opportunity to hang out and train with Keenan (at his academy that will be open later this year).

Money. Yeah, we’ll give you money, despite all the perks described above. How cool is that? The # of freedom dollars will be agreed upon later in the hiring process.
