We’re looking for someone who epitomises One Green Bean’s four core values. This means you will: 

· Always be two steps ahead – of your clients, of your team, other agencies, the industry, even of yourself. We’re a fast-paced, ever-evolving agency and you’ll need to be flexible, adaptable and solutions focused to not just keep up, but stay ahead. And by the way, we work quickly, not carelessly. Attention to detail is critical. 

· Make sh*t happen – It doesn’t matter what your job title is, you’ll need to be able to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty when there’s a job to be done. 

· Be a big dreaming realist – we love big thinkers, dreamers and What If-ers. Positive, passionate people who will never settle for anything less than excellence in their work – be it a big creative idea, a media strategy or a budget. But this must be balanced with reality. Be as creative as you like, but never sell anyone, be it a client or a colleague, an impossibility. 

· Have ambition without ego – perhaps the most important of our values. Be ambitious. Be restless. Be awesome. But check your ego at the door. 

The important stuff – the benefits of working with us:  

• Flexible Working: Work from the office 3 days a week, with Mondays and Fridays at home.  

• Free Coffee: every Tuesday 

• Yearly Creative Retreat: A chance to disconnect, think, and bond outside the office.  

• Yearly HavaRest Day: Day off to focus on mental health 

• Summer Fridays: Finish at 3pm on Fridays to enjoy the sun.  

• Dog Days: Bring your pup in once a month for playtime.  

• Progressive Leave Policies: Birthday, wedding, volunteering leave, and policies for IVF, miscarriage, adoption, and gender reaffirmation.  

Work with us  

The pride we have in our work goes hand in hand with a culture that’s passionate, vibrant and bloody good fun.  

We believe that people are our most vital asset because they are different. Different to one another and different to the norm. Diverse perspectives fuel our curiosity and fresh thinking. Open communication encourages contribution without hierarchy. Ongoing education for all creates growth at every level. We create an environment where all our people belong, and can thrive, adapt, learn and grow because we are in the business of making a meaningful difference to people; and that’s good business.
