• A team player who improves the overall standard of work around the studio.

• Mentor and guide junior talent.

Qualification THINGS TO NOTE

• Some of our clients require background checks. You will need to complete a Baseline Personal Security Standard (BPSS) to confirm your identity, criminal record, right to work and residency.
• Comfortable with hybrid working. Every project is different, but we love our team to be in the studio and in our client's office to work collaboratively.
• We are building a team that represents the diversity of our society and we are looking for people who will be a cultural add, not a cultural fit.
