Wolff Olins is a global-branding consultancy that attracts staff who are ambitious and optimistic for the world. They love to challenge the status quo and design for big-name brands. Clients include the London 2012 Olympics, the BBC, Google, The Economist, pharmaceuticals giant GSK, global management consultant McKinsey and Company, TikTok and Uber.

Wolff Olins operates out of London, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, offering mobility opportunities across geographies and disciplines.

The business is run according to three principles: "transformative work" that delivers business, creative and cultural impact; "healthy growth" that is considered sustainable, based on long-term relationships; and "enjoy the ride", which enables people to do the best work of their life while having the best time of their life.

The company strives for a culture of creativity, learning and leadership. It is a place where people question the convention and imagine new paradigms. Learning and sharing are central to the way the organisation recruits, develops people and innovates, helping it to be at the forefront of where the industry is going next.

Wolff Olins values creativity, exploration and collaboration above the model that equates completing tasks with productivity. Everyone is encouraged to take initiative, be accountable and lead the charge, while feeling supported by their peers.
