  • Strong business & financial acumen
  • Being great as a client partner — someone who is attuned to both creative excellence/output and client satisfaction
  • Strong networker of both internal and external talent
  • Authentically passionate about the work, your team and our business
  • Student of life, naturally curious and an early adopter
  • A good listener, someone who reads people and those in a room well (and adapts their style and response accordingly)

At Ogilvy, inclusivity is essential to our success. We're committed to building a workplace that embraces various perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds, knowing that diverse teams drive more impactful work.

We strongly encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, Māori, people with disabilities, diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, all ages, genders, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, nationalities, and family structures.

We believe everyone thrives when they can be themselves. We provide equal opportunities and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential.
