In short

On believes in the power of storytelling. Sometimes, our stories come from the achievements of our athletes and sometimes from the passions of our communities. Often, they focus on the products we create. Group Creative Leads approach every story with an open mind and a creative eye to create and inspire work that is distinctive, effective, and culturally relevant. Your goal is to set creative direction and provide hands-on guidance throughout projects, pushing the ambition and raising the creative bar of the work.

Global Marketing Lead, Zürich

We need people outside of the box from the beginning. And that's why I think marketing is a great place if you just feel creative… so you can really bring in those ideas and then drive the whole content forward that we're creating.

What to expect

We want to set everyone up for success, so here’s the lowdown on how we hire. Our process is a two-way street – bringing you into our culture, while helping us learn how you think.

Our full process can last about eight weeks from application to offer, because we care about getting it right. These steps explain how we usually do things.

Before you get started, feel free to consider if you want to work with us. Strange question? Well, we give people a lot of space to navigate their day-to-day and that style isn't for everyone. We want you to be passionate about what you do and be sure this is the right fit. Because when skills and passion combine – it creates that 'Wow' moment.
