Yes Agency - Project Manager (Retail)

About Yes Agency:

At Yes Agency, we create experiences that make Optus customers say ‘Yes’.  

Since we started out as IMM, ‘Yes’ has been at the heart of our business. When Optus launched in Australia 25 years ago, ‘Yes’ gave us the courage to challenge conventions and create a new type of telco. It’s with us today as we forward our mission to become the most innovative multimedia provider in Australia. 

Yes Agency and Optus work as one team from product development to creative execution. This close collaboration sets us apart from external agencies. It enables us to deliver experiences people genuinely want in a way that inspires and excites.

‘Yes’ has never been more important than right now. As Optus forges ahead, we’re building a team that can challenge preconceptions and limitations to produce the best work around. Get this right and we’ll reach our goal of being the most impactful internal creative agency in the region, for our people, partners and community.

As part of the M&C Saatchi Group we come together to realise BIG AMBITIONS. And ours is to be the most connected creative company by organising original thinkers in uncommon ways.

We’re committed to building a diverse workplace and strongly encourage applications from First Nations people, people with disability, people from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, mature age workers and LGBTQIA+ people. Our flexible work approach, employee-led diversity networks and inclusive career development approach all support and promote one of our core values ‘Walk in Different Worlds’ which helps describe our overall DE&I mission. If you require any adjustments throughout the recruitment process, please let our team know.
