Company description

Saatchi & Saatchi Wellness is a full-service creative agency operating in the health and wellness space. Our purpose is to unleash the 'Wellness Effect' in every person through meaningful personalised experiences, because we achieve greater outcomes when we are fully engaged in our wellness. We believe when our people do well, our work does well, our clients do well, and our patients do well, inspiring even more wellness in the world. We sum it up in two small words... Do Well.

That's the what, but the how is guided by four defining principles - curious, creative, discerning, brave. These are the values we look for and nurture in others and ourselves, underpinning as they do a culture of collaborative entrepreneurialism that drives high-performance.

Overview

We're looking for someone who's looking for something. Someone who's not quite content with where they are and what they've got. Someone who spends their time dreaming, making, doing, building, creating. Someone with the intelligence to think, challenge, and push things into unexpected places, without pushing people into unpleasant places. Someone who doesn't believe rules are absolute or good enough is good enough. We're looking for someone special. Maybe that someone is you?

The job requires collaboration, creativity and resilience; being there for your team when things get challenging is essential.
