What we look for
People are at the heart of what we do here at Umi.
Umi is built around connection, so the team is built around people who can move between disciplines.
Not everyone needs to do everything, and depth in a specialism still matters more than anything else on your CV. But the people who do best here have deep skills in one area and enough curiosity about the areas next to it that they start noticing the joins.
What that means day to day
- Marketers who investigate how the data is structured
- Developers who understand why attribution matters
- Content creators who delve into what the campaign did with their work
- Strategists who understand the operational pressure inside a hotel team
What is the hiring process at Umi?
We don't believe in hiding steps or dragging out the process for months on end - it isn't fun for anyone!
Our hiring process normally takes 3/4 weeks from applying to receiving a job offer if successful.
Send in your application to the team, from here we personally review each and every application.
Following the Tea/Coffee chat, the next stage is an assessment task. These are created bespoke for each role and give you an opportunity to show us your skill set. We will provide a clear brief, timeline and expected deliverables.
Following the final interview we let you know our decision very swiftly (normally within a working day or two).
An online application can only tell us so much, so we like to have an informal chat to get to know you! It is also a great chance for us to provide some additional information about Umi, the role and answer any questions you may have.
We like to do the final stage in person, this gives you the chance to see the office, meet more of the team and get to experience the company culture first hand.
A Few Employee Benefits ...
Personal Growth Budget
Fancy a PPC certification? Go on then. What about a pottery class, a golf membership or learning to make a genuinely good ragù? Also yes. We back you as a whole person, not just the bit of you that answers emails and carries out tasks. That's why we have an annual personal growth budget, so there's always a new excuse to learn something new.
