Senior Campaign Manager

• People first, employees second. We value work life balance, our families and our friends, but work hard at the same time. We’re looking for people who can independently work towards their goals but the way you work is completely up to you.

• We travel. Travel has been an integral part of our lives, and it has always been an eye-opening experience. We have a hybrid policy for employees in Metro Manila (once a week), but we’re flexible with remote work for people who want to travel. We believe that location independence should be more accessible to everyone. We also have an annual company trip!

• We want to see you grow. We appreciate the time that you would devote to us as a company and would wish that you also get a return on your investment by developing skills and capabilities.

• We offer competitive compensation. We deeply value who we work with and would like to be fair to you and what you can bring to the table. We also provide bonuses and additional incentives.
