Careers at The Wilful Group >

By Rebecca Oatley | 30 March, 2022

We are growing at The Wilful Group and we need more people who are passionate about supporting the ideas and innovations solving the world’s biggest problems. We are collaborative by nature, and we want to nurture curious minds and bold ambitions. If this sounds like you, explore our vacancies below.

WORK AT WILFUL

The Wilful Group started with our two founders and a vision: we believe communications can make a difference. Since we started in 2021, we’ve grown to become an international taskforce agency and that vision has become something much bigger.

We have reimagined the traditional agency model to be much more agile, connective and focused to support innovation at scale. We assemble a bespoke team of people working across The Wilful Group with over 37 years of PR expertise from founder agencies, Cherish PR and Gong Communications, to support each client’s needs.

Digital Tech Innovation is crucial for Wilful as a whole. Sustainability and positive impact on the globe value is the most important element of the company.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Everyone should feel welcome to apply for our jobs – regardless of their protected characteristics. Whether it’s our B2B or Consumer team, we embrace each other’s quirks that make us, us. It’s what makes us Wilful. Altogether, we are determined and optimistic for the transition to a low carbon, regenerative economy.

We’re doing our best to create a safe, nurturing and inviting workspace that is authentically inclusive. Get to know our Cherish PR founder and Wilful Group co-founder, Becs A.K.A. Rebecca Oatley, as she talks about the importance of D&I in PR.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

As well as expert training, paid volunteering days and hybrid work options, we offer a few more things.

  • Unlock exclusive access to the Wilful People Hub (in partnership with Perkbox) when you pass probation. Our People Hub is a gateway to discount codes, free food, and wellbeing support resources

  • We really mean it when we say we’re here for each other. That’s why we offer a 24/7 employee helpline

  • 25 Days annual leave plus 2 additional days per year for 1) your birthday and 2) volunteering for a charitable cause of your choosing

  • You’ll receive a laptop and work phone (on loan)

  • The chance to receive a bonus (10% of net profit to the team)

  • Health insurance (optional opt in)

  • Enhanced Pension Contribution (we match your contribution up to 4%)

  • When we’re not busy designing bold communication campaigns, we like to have fun. That’s why we throw social events all year round. You won’t want to miss the Summer Party! We also like to go into the new year with bang with another party in the festive season

  • Flexible and hybrid working. We’re lucky to be located in a fantastic area of central London, so you can make the most of our early Friday finish in the summer months

  • As well as finding brilliant talent outside our business, we also look after you when you arrive. We think continued learning sparks brilliance which is why we offer an enhanced learning and development programme.
