Talent Acquisition

• You’ll be our talent champion by serving as the welcoming, organised point of contact for external talent. You will coordinate closely with candidates, EAs, and internal teams to schedule interviews, provide prep materials, and handle last-minute scheduling shifts with ease.
• You will own the administration of our Applicant Tracking System (Teamtailor), and will upload and close roles, maintain accurate candidate records, ensure strict GDPR compliance, and keep our job specs updated as our benefits evolve.
• As you build context and experience within Koto’s creative ecosystem, you will step up to help qualify candidate applications and assist the team with proactive headhunting resources.
• You will lean into the creative side of growth by assisting the wider team with research, data reporting, and planning for fresh Talent and People initiatives across the studio.

EMEA and Regional Growth

• Once you've mastered the UK landscape, you will expand your horizons to support our regional growth, learning the ropes of Berlin contracts, benefits, and international operational support.

Our Responsibilities

• We will ensure you have meaningful and regular access to your manager to support your personal development and career trajectory.
• We will actively reward performance with promotions, pay increases and a discretionary annual bonus of up to 10% of salary to all employees.
• We ensure Koto is an equal environment for all its employees.
• We will support you in taking family leave and offer significant paid maternity and paternity.
• We will actively encourage you to take 25 days holiday yearly, in addition to UK bank holidays (on average eight), one additional holiday day per year (capped at 5 additional days), and a studio closure between Christmas and New Year.
• We will contribute an additional 3% to anyone wanting to engage in the Scottish Widows pension scheme.
• We offer private medical insurance via Vitality Health and a monthly ‘employee wellness’ benefits package via Juno of £75 per month.
• We offer access to YCN and fund relevant training opportunities to any employee looking to develop themselves and career.
• We reward five years of service with £5,000 and five days holiday. We reward ten years of service with £10,000 and four weeks holiday.
• We will give you the opportunity to work from any the five koto studios globally, with appropriate planning and application.

Our Culture

• At Koto we encourage our team to be ‘rationally optimistic’ about the potential of our work, our clients, their businesses, and the power of brand.
• We pursue the best briefs, want to inspire meaningful work, and for those interested provide an opportunity to make the work of their lives. We are actively cultivating leadership, culture and spaces to encourage this.
• We work in person with an optional WFH day on Friday, and an additional 20 days remote a year. We believe this produces the best work, mentoring opportunities, collective learning and culture.
• We encourage autonomy in each member of our team, allowing them to manage their own time, hours and personal commitments appropriately to complete work.
