You'll probably be a match if:

• You have 8+ years in a forward-thinking digital brand design role. You have an outstanding portfolio that showcases diverse brand design experience, and if it includes brands in motion, it's certainly a plus. Your creative thinking & attention to detail shine through.
• You are a collaborator. Working in the People Team, you're often not working with people who have experience working with creative teams before, which means that sometimes, you have to go the extra mile to ask the right questions.
• You like a little bit of ambiguity. We're a new (but great!) team and we're still figuring stuff out. Being OK with that is key to this role, we don't have all the loose ends tied up out but we work together to get there and achieve the best possible outcome.
• You have initiative. See a potential opportunity? Pitch it. Want to try something new? Go for it. We're looking for someone who is hungry to have as much of an impact as the rest of us and is proactive in finding opportunities to improve and build on processes and systems to help mobilise us.
• You are a people person. We work with people, not product. It's about experiences, feelings, values and culture. There aren't things you can touch, so being able to tap into your human side is key to this role.
