As a reasonably young agency, that has grown rapidly –
we’re still bedding down processes internally and even with some of our
clients. So this role will be far more enjoyable for someone who is mature and
patient. It’s a challenge establishing new processes and making sure they’re
adhered to, so we need someone who is excited by that and who sees it for the
personal development opportunity that it is.

CREATIVE SPACE
Our office is in a building just a few months old and
directly opposite Redfern Train Station. The open plan space is bright and
funky with a large outdoors balcony, but it’ll get even better when we upgrade
across the hall at the end of the year to a space twice the size. There is a
shower onsite as well as bike racks, and loads of cool cafes and bars.
