Job Description

Creative Technologist

gyro is the Global Ideas Shop. We are 600 creative minds strong, united by a single mission: to produce ideas that are humanly relevant. We bring together a myriad of talents, including visionaries, artists, strategists and experts across a range of disciplines, to fulfill this mission for our clients. We are bound by our core beliefs in open thinking, the desire to embrace change and the belief that great ideas can come from anyone and anywhere. We call this unconventional culture UNO. It celebrates inspiration, collaboration and mutual respect and it is what defines us. As a vital part of gyro, you'll be comfortable building the kind of closeness with others that means you know the punch lines to each other's jokes, what everyone's favorite pizza is and quite possibly share the stories that you shouldn't. You will smile, even when it's tough because you know you are not alone. We talk to each other, we work together and we share all the challenges and triumphs a creative life brings. This is UNO.

Our culture is about ideas. We have a great office space, and a great team. We work hard, but know how to have fun along the way.
