In delivering inspiring campaigns and exceptional results for our clients we encourage our people to always be insightful, progressive and determined. These are the traits we value most! We’re a passionate bunch, from a variety of backgrounds and with rich experiences.
Any company’s culture is led from the top and as our CEO is a qualified exec coach we put a huge focus on our team’s learning and development. Our teams stretch across clients, across service lines and across offices, so everyone has a good variety of responsibilities to play to their strengths and interesting people to work with. We make efforts to bring our Fireflies close together (mentally and physically, when allowed) and we give people as much support and challenge as they need to progress their careers. We like people who are eager and ambitious. We like people who are fearless and like to experiment. We like people who can think as much as people can take action. We like people who are fun to work with, who are strong characters. It’s not essential but we especially like people who speak other languages, like English, French or German to match where we have our Firefly offices. We’re an equal opportunities employer and all candidates will be considered on skills, experience and other business factors. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and non-traditional candidates are encouraged to apply, and any such candidates will be considered equally with all other applicants.
