Want to join the team, here are our three non-negotiables.

• Input - Join in, take part, be heard and contribute, team members looking for an easy ride won’t succeed here.
• Output - Focus on quality, if you’re not happy with what we’re creating then stop and ask why. Everything we create should be good enough for your portfolio.
• Together - Most importantly, do it together! Not feeling it, that’s okay we’re one team and support each other every step of the way.

No egos. No judgment.

What’s it like in the New York office?

• Startup culture in a larger agency group. Our New York office will be the starting point for Kairos in the US. We’ll be a startup business with the backing of a well-established agency in the UK, giving us the best of both worlds.
• Hybrid culture - As a start-up in the US we know the importance of face time regularly. We equally understand the importance of flexibility.

Our US team will be required in the office 3 days a week minimum.

We’re located in central Manhattan, so right in the hustle and bustle.
