ApplyJOIN THE TEAM
Our team are full of campaigners who genuinely want to create an impact in society. We see the agency as a place for individual and collective evolution. We therefore put an emphasis on training for the team and ensure that everyone can be their full self when coming into the office.
WHY JOIN OUR TEAM?
We put the individuals in the Shape History team at the heart of every decision that is made. Here are some of the reasons we think you should join the team.
We offer grants to team members to build passion projects with no restrictions. We also run our own internal campaigns with ideas coming from the team.
We understand that people work best at different times in the day, and either at home or in the office so we're super flexible!
4x per year, the full team comes together to take part in workshops, activities and socials. Previous team days have included axe throwing (not at each other), graffiti spraying and team challenges around London.
Each team member is entitled to 24 days of holiday plus a Christmas shutdown period and bank holidays. We also have an enhanced parental leave policy.
We think that the team has a vitamin C deficiency because the amount of fruit they devour during Monday huddles is ridiculous. Enjoy that, as well as prosecco Thursdays!
Our main priority is our team and the culture that runs throughout the agency. We put emphasis on working with team members to unfold their individual and unique potential.
