#INDIST

The salary range for this position is between $15.00 to $15.75/hour. Salary varies depending on experience.

One of Boston's most established and respected insurance defense firms is growing. They have more work than people right now and they need experienced mid level associates who want to build something real, not just bill hours at a name brand firm.

This is not a lateral move for the sake of a move. This is a seat at a firm where the partner track is visible, the caseload is substantive, and your work actually matters to the partners above you.

Immediate need. They want to move fast.

What You Will Work On

You will handle your own files from day one. General liability, premises liability, product liability, professional malpractice, catastrophic injury and construction litigation. State and federal court. Real depositions. Real trials. Not document review.

What They Are Looking For

2 to 10 years of civil litigation experience in Massachusetts. Insurance defense background strongly preferred. Someone who can take ownership of a file, communicate directly with carrier clients, and is ready to grow into a leadership role over time.

You should NOT apply if you practice estate planning, immigration, family law or transactional work. This is a pure litigator role.

No job hoppers. They invest in people and expect the same in return.

Why This Firm

Boston institution. Over 100 years of insurance defense work. Busy and growing for the right reasons. Partners who mentor and develop. Courtroom experience you can actually get here. A partner track that is real, not theoretical.

If you are at a large national firm and feeling like a number, this is the alternative. If you are at a boutique without the caseload or the platform, this is the upgrade.

Compensation

Competitive with the Boston market. Based on experience.

Freight Agents (Flatbed / Open-Deck / OD) — If You Live in the “Hard Freight,” Read This

There are plenty of flatbed brokerages.

But not many are built for true project freight — the loads that come with:

• permits and routing complexity
• jobsite coordination
• unusual dimensions / time windows
• securement expectations
• constant “problem solving” that can’t be handled by a script

That’s where we operate.

Treadstone Logistics is a specialized open-deck and overdimensional operator based in Arkansas (rapidly becoming a major steel and fabrication hub). We run assets, an in-house diesel shop, and a brokerage built around the freight most brokers say they do — but don’t want on Friday afternoon.

We’re adding 2–3 experienced agents who already move open-deck/OD freight and want a home that actually understands it.

What makes Treadstone different

• We understand OD / permit-driven freight and jobsite execution
• We have asset capability for the loads your network can’t cover
• We have in-house maintenance (less downtime = more reliability)
• We’re operator-led: fast decisions, no corporate red tape
• We focus on relationships and execution, not volume for volume’s sake
• We know that in the brokerage business, credit is king: Our Trucking and Broker sides are both backed by Love’s Financial

Who this is for

• You already move flatbed / step-deck / RGN / OD freight
• You have a book of business you control
• You’re tired of brokerages that don’t support “hard freight” when it gets messy
• You want a place where specialized freight is the core, not a side category

What you get

• Strong split (based on experience + book)
• Freedom to run your book
• Back-office support (billing/collections)
• A team that can actually help you solve tough open-deck/OD problems

We’re looking for a Graphic Designer I to join our Communications Team. This is a full-time, hybrid role based in Sacramento, CA (with 1–2 onsite days each week). This role is for a designer who’s plugged into culture: someone with strong design fundamentals, creative instincts, and a feel for how visuals show up in real life and online. You’ll help shape how Midtown Church communicates by creating work across social, digital, and print that feels current, thoughtful, and true to who we are.

In a noisy world, we’re committed to creating work that resonates; design that cuts through, connects with people where they are, and draws them toward Christ in creative, meaningful ways. We’re looking for someone who understands social-first content, keeps an eye on what’s trending (and what’s tired), and knows how to turn ideas into visuals that actually reach people. This isn’t about chasing trends for the sake of it. It’s about serving God and spreading the Gospel with creativity, purpose, clarity, and heart.

• Collaborate with the film team to maintain visual consistency

General

• Stay informed on current design and social media trends relevant to churches

EMBODIED MINISTRY & TEAM PRESENCE

Design at Midtown Church is not only created on a screen; it is lived out in community. This role occasionally requires being physically present in ministry environments to support the work of the church. This may include:

• Being onsite during weekend services, events, or community outreach initiatives
• Assisting with event setup, teardown, and creative installs
• Measuring and assessing physical spaces for signage, displays, or design placement
• Supporting print production, preparation, photocopying, and material distribution
• Collaborating in real time with staff, volunteers, and ministry teams

This position is well-suited for someone who values hands-on involvement, flexibility, and showing up where the work and people are. While much of the role is design-focused, we believe creative ministry is strengthened through presence, participation, and shared ownership of the mission.
