About you
You should have circa two years in a Digital / Technology / Software agency, or where you have had experience delivering complex technical projects. We will consider experience in other industries, as long as you are confident with digital.
Our Values are more important than any technical skill or career experiences you have had. They will form part of your 3 month review and ongoing quarterly Personal Development Plan (so please don’t BS about them):
Open: Ditch your ego, because maybe they’re right. Steal from the world, read and rewire your brain. “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got” — Henry Ford.
Honest: Live with integrity — the same on the inside as outside — so say what you think. Tell the truth, first to yourself. Care personally & challenge directly. Embrace reality & deal with it. Never lie.
Caring: Give service to others. Help out. Listen with empathy. And when we say Listen, don’t just scan for keywords — focus and really listen. What are they really trying to say?
Can-do: Look for what you can do, not what you can’t. Be positive, be definite, take action, kickstart momentum. Focus on progress not perfection. Keep a positive focus.
Reliable: Take responsibility. Own it. Your word is your bond. If you say you will do it, do it — always. Your reputation can disappear in an instant.
Playful: Keep a sense of humour. Trust yourself — maybe that daft suggestion is actually the best idea. Bring good energy. Life is an adventure!
