Why you should be our next strategy director?

1. You get to work with an optimistic team that values you and your work

Eight Clients is made up of an outstanding collection of weirdos who make it a point to find the bright spots. Humans aren’t wired to focus on the positive, but we’ve trained ourselves to go against the grain. After years of being an agency, we found that it’s always productive to focus on what is working well and do more of that.

We channel this positive mindset into celebrating your every win, however small it may be. Chat us up on our #milestones Slack channel about the amazing client meeting you just had or the delicious pot roast you made for dinner and we’ll be cheering you on either way.

2. You can work remotely and own your hours

Plan on working from a beachside villa in Bali? Awesome. That’s 100% possible with our remote working policy. We love for our employees to live amazing lives and want you to feel free to work from anywhere.

We’re also super flexible with time. All we care about is that you’re happy and clients are happy. As long as you get your work done on time and to a high standard, we don’t care about where you’re working or what hours you’re working. As a Strategy Director, your role is client-facing so if you are in a different time zone you will need to skew your work hours towards your clients so you are available when they are.

3. There's tons of opportunity for growth

One of the perks of working for a small but rapidly expanding team is the opportunities for growth and promotion.

As we scale our business. we’ll need to fill higher positions- and you can bet we’ll be looking at you. In the meantime, you’ll be exposed to big global and local clients across several industries, which really wouldn’t hurt your resume.

4. You get to prioritise your wellbeing

We take your well-being seriously here. We acknowledge that you aren’t a machine that’s meant to be smashing at a desk for 8 hours straight.

That’s why we offer wellness days so you can regularly recharge and look after yourself, did someone say spa day? Plus, you get a wellbeing budget.
