Is Jumpstart right for me? We typically look for:

• 1–5 years of marketing experience (startup, agency, corporate or high‑growth environment), or;
• Proactive recent graduates with strong evidence of execution.

We prioritise proof of execution (getting sh*t done). For Analytical Marketers, that might mean campaigns you’ve run, budgets you’ve managed or metrics you’ve improved. For Creative Marketers, that might mean content you’ve produced, channels you’ve grown or campaigns you’ve launched.
