HERE AT AUGUST...

...our mission is to create transformational change, for and with our clients.  Design and technology are the tools of our trade.

We are a values-based team, committed to helping organisations that serve different parts of our community in health, education, and water infrastructure.

We work with a growing number of nonprofit organisations and government agencies throughout the world. These include the Centre for Humanitarian Leadership, Cotton On Foundation, Guide Dogs Australia, Mercy Health, Medecins Sans Frontier, and Alzheimer’s Society of Canada. Our job is to inspire them with the possibilities and help them design, deliver, and market better digital products and services.

We are a multidisciplinary team made up of strategists, designers, digital engineers, and content specialists. We are growing, but we are selective around our team and have built a relationship of collaboration, creativity, and technical superiority. Our values underpin everything we do. This makes for a pretty powerful environment - where anything is possible.  

Sound pretty special? That’s because it is.

About August

August is an award-winning independent digital practice based in Richmond. We are a certified B Corporation. We aim to nudge the world just enough to make a change. Help us to make it happen.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at August. We don’t discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.

About you

You are someone who understands how search engines work but you don't blindly accept the status quo. You understand that search engine algorithms change, and what worked last year, may not work this year. You can help drive our SEO offering forward, leaving no stone unturned when it comes to creating and delivering great digital marketing experiences for our clients.

While we love helping people grow their skills, this role isn’t one for juniors to step into. We're after someone specialised in their discipline but with complementary skills that can help them demonstrate leadership in different ways. For example, you’ll have the autonomy to develop our SEO offering, but you’ll also be setting a strong example for others to learn from.

You enjoy and have experienced, working in a multidisciplinary team. Bringing your craft to this team and finding ways to contribute and add value is important to you - plus, it's the way we love to work. The August team is smart and nimble; working together to build innovative web services and digital products. We are committed to learning and sharing something new every day. We hope you join us in this obsession.
