What It’s Like to Work Here

Cutting-Edge Tools & Tech

Work with the latest hardware and software—Windows or Mac—so you're always set up to succeed.

Ideas Welcome, Always

We don’t just say we’re open to ideas—we act on them. Your insights can shape how we work across the company.

Fast, Agile, Adaptive

We move like a start-up but with the backing of a larger team. Quick decisions and a responsive culture are the norm.

Incredible Team, Global Reach

Join an international crew of 175+ passionate, talented people. We hire for skill, drive, and authenticity—just be yourself.

Remote-First & Flexible

Fully remote within South Africa. Your normal workday will start at 10am, and you’ll join two team stand-up meetings each week.

The standard hours for this role are 10am–6:30pm GMT. To best support our US clients, we ask that you work one late shift per week (1:30pm–10pm GMT) and cover one or two weekend days each month.

RECRUITMENT PROCESS

First, you will receive questions to answer via a self-recorded video.

If successful, we will invite you to an interview (60 minutes via MS Teams). During the meeting, Bella, our Head of Social Media Management, will get to know you and try to understand if you’d be a good fit for the role, and at the same time answer all your questions.

Following this, there will be a short task to test your attention to detail and communication skills.

There may also be a short (30 minutes via MS Teams) follow-up interview with Duncan, our Chief Content Officer.

And that's it!
