Description
Introduction
Arielle Executive is Australia’s #1 rated executive-level human marketing & personal branding firm for business leaders and a global authority in recruitment and talent acquisition, having featured in HRD, Financial Review and Forbes. For the past decade, we have provided bespoke branding services to C-level executives, senior leaders and board members, creating career stories that are compelling, unique, and position our client as the ‘answer’ to a very specific pain point in the market.
We are looking for talented writers to join our boutique and highly capable team. If you’re passionate about the power of the written word, delight in the psychology of leaders and thrive in environments where you are pushed to new heights, you’ll be in good company.
In this role, you’ll get a ‘behind the scenes’ view into what makes leaders tick, along with the decisions, habits and personality traits that enable world-class leaders to achieve success. To thrive in this role, you need to love the idea of sculpting and moulding your client’s experience to align with their direction, overlaying what they do with who they are and what the market needs. After all, it’s our mission to secure buy-in from some of the world’s most fastidious executive recruiters and C-level decision makers.
Executive personal branding is more than writing resumes, LinkedIn profiles, cover letters and executive biographies. At this level, it’s about diligently hand-crafting unique value propositions and career narratives for the top 10% of business leaders. It’s about positioning our clients as superior candidates in competitive job markets. We are known for 5-star excellence.
To reach these heights, we have exacting standards, we work with precision, and we never cut corners. If you shriek at the sight of feedback, you will find our culture difficult. We all provide feedback to one another, and are happy to receive it too. That’s because we genuinely care about our clients - their success is our success. You must be an avid believer in there always being a better way, and importantly, be willing to find it.
Our shared purpose: to do our life’s best work, every moment of every day.
