About the Role

Working closely with our co-founders and talented in-house creatives, you will oversee the direction and production of branded content across our platforms between social, web and external mediums (such as retail environments).

About Beforeyouspeak

We're Beforeyouspeak* Coffee, nice to e-meet you Founded by two mates, Jaryd & Ash, who pioneered functional coffee in Australia with our flagship, superfood-infused Performance Coffee. Our mission? To help you get more out of each day one cup at a time.

We have worked hard to position ourselves as a lifestyle brand that embodies health, self-improvement and having fun. Although we are a product-based business (selling +15M coffees since 2017 #humblebrag ) we like to think of ourselves as more of a media agency, that just happens to sell coffee... The importance of brand-building in a noisy, competitive environment cannot be understated — and this is where your new role as Head of Creative will help set us apart from the rest.

P.S. We're called Beforeyouspeak because Jaryd & Ash didn't like to talk to anyone before their first cup of coffee
