•  An excitement to learn and help improve the game
•  Strong oral and written communication skills
•  Open minded and comfortable with feedback and iteration on your work

What you can expect from the recruitment process:   

Screening call: first you will meet with Jess Pearce, People Partner at AlphaChannel, for a 30-minute Teams call. This isn't an interview, but a chance to get to know you better, and in turn share more about team and the opportunity.    

First Interview: next you will meet with Mike Brown, Design Director, for a 1-hour Teams call. The focus of this conversation will be a high-level functional interview. Here you will have the opportunity to showcase your skills, share your experiences so far and ask any questions you might have about the role.   

Meet the founders: finally, you will meet with our founders, Bane Grujic, and Daniel Ebanks, to learn more about AlphaChannel and how this role will contribute to the project.     

Don't meet all the requirements?  

We care more about outcomes than ticking boxes, and we know the perfect person for the role often has a CV that's a little different.  

Research shows that women are particularly less likely to apply if they don't meet all the criteria in a job listing. If you're second guessing yourself, we encourage you to get in touch anyway.  

Don't quit before you've started!  

How can we support you?  

We want to set you up for success and make our recruitment process as accessible as possible for you.  

In your application, feel free to let us know if you need anything to make your experience or environment more comfortable. We'll do our best to support you!
