About Us
Who the hell are we?
Eight Clients is an ambitious social media agency dedicated to pioneering creativity in digital spaces. We're building a haven for the creatively bold and strategically sound, aiming to become Australia's most inventive social media agency. Our culture thrives on optimism, individuality, and a team-focused approach. We cherish diversity and encourage unique perspectives. Oh, and we hate Happy Monday posts.
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 the 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.
Remuneration and Benefits
What We Offer:
- A flexible working model, including remote opportunities.
- A generous wellbeing budget and support for work-life balance. Note: we are not called 57 Clients.
- Commitment to professional development and career growth because we want to grow together.
- An inclusive and diverse workplace where every voice is valued.
- Awesome tech and bespoke AI tools.
