Job description

Octaive is an equal opportunities employer. We actively welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds and do not discriminate against employees or applicants because of their race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information.

Hey. We’re Octaive.

We’re an award winning Creative Technology business helping Advertisers look past outdated ‘click’ metrics and start creating real ‘Attention’.

Why?
Typical ads don’t respect the user and they don’t give brands the full picture. Fact. We change that.

How? We empower consumers to control the ad themselves, meaning they get a truly relevant experience without encroaching on their personal data. Simple. But effective.

Leading brands such as VW, PayPal and Vodafone use our technology to create privacy-first, conversational experiences that drive active attention. After all, there’s no point saying something if no-one’s listening.

Octaive’s platform is well established, with major agencies using it to give brands conversational display and video creative that makes an impact.

Simply put, we deliver great digital experiences – and we’ve been recognised for it. We recently nabbed a place in the TechRound-100 and the prestigious Startups 100.

It’s an exciting time to be part of an innovative, forward-thinking startup…but that’s enough about us.
