    H+K is a communications agency, always in beta and always changing. We are the first and only large agency to structure itself around sectors to deliver deep industry knowledge, supported by specialist areas of ideas and strategy, content creation and publishing.

    We think of the agency as a canvas for everyone to write their own story. This job description is written at a moment in time in that story. Whatever role you take at H+K we expect you to evolve that role; it should be different tomorrow from what it is today.

    What we're looking for
