Who You Are

You are an avid content creator with an ability to distil ideas down to their simplest form and communicate them with vibrancy across different channels. You’re always looking for a story, an angle, or that perfect picture or video that captures a moment in time.
You understand the importance of self-awareness and emotional intelligence and you actively use this to get the best out of yourself, and to connect with others. You approach everything you do with a determination for growth and improvement and bringing innovative ideas to the table and team excites you.
You are an energetic, open-minded, and self-starting individual who can work independently while staying aligned with broader team goals. The role will be hybrid, so you thrive working from home and enjoy the change of pace that in-person events provide (approx. 1 per month). You are a great communicator and can adapt your tone, message, and style dependant on the audience.
