MAKING THE MOVE D’OUTH – JACK IN THE BOX
Is there someone out there who wants the ultimate work/life balance as a Studio Manager? South West agency, Jack in the box, is on the hunt for a Studio Manager…and they want you!
With constant growth and new business wins, the team at Jack in the box is looking to continue its expansion and is on the hunt for a Studio Manager to be based out of their Busselton office.
Approaching their 20th year, Jack in the box enjoys the perfect work/life balance by being based in the heart of the Margaret River region.
“Talent is not dictated by geography and it’s great to see that people are finally understanding the real meaning of decentralisation. Being Down South (D’outh) offers such a creative vibe” says agency founder Scott Robinson. “Everyone comes down here for Emergence and talks about how amazing it is, so we figure there’s got to be someone who wants to call this place their home and join an awesome team doing great work”
“This is an opportunity for anyone who seriously wants to live and work in one of the best locations in the world to call me. Sure we’re looking for a Studio Manager right now but if you’re really serious about wanting to still work in an agency but you want out of the rat race, then call me for a drink…I’ll meet you at the Firestation!”.
Working with clients across State Government, Tourism, Renewable Energy and whole range of other diverse industries, Jack in the box is well established, having started in 2000.
Contact Scott via LinkedIn, email (scott@thebox.com.au) or mobile (0407 983 308).
Any enquiries will be handled with complete confidentiality.
