A (Remote) Day in the Office

A day in the office at Collective Position means tuning into the latest current affairs program while (remotely) bantering about your latest Netflix binge.   Switching to an in-depth discussion on the politics of the day, while checking emails, hitting the phones and social while downing your second coffee for the day (if that is your thing - we try not to judge if it is tea). 

 It also means being a key part of our busy tight-knit team, bringing your best “be your own boss” game and taking charge to deliver real outcomes for our clients.  Above all, it means you’ll be thrilled that today looks different to yesterday, be comfortable to hit the ground running on the latest issue and have a lot of laughs along the way.
