HYVE Media was built for what modern media and AI have made possible. The people who founded the company spent years inside agencies built for an earlier era and saw an opportunity those structures weren’t built to capture. That means a team that moves quickly, speaks plainly and keeps learning. Whether you’re thinking of joining us or thinking of working with us, these four values underpin how we operate day to day.
At HYVE, nobody waits for the perfect brief or a nudge from above. If you see something that needs doing, you pick it up and see it through, whatever your role. We know when to ask for help or sign-off, but we never use it as a reason to stand still.
The best answer isn’t always the one on the plan. We question briefs, test new ideas and tools, and speak up when we think there’s a better route, whether that’s to a client or a colleague. Our goal is to drive growth for clients, so we think like business owners, not just delivery partners.
Feedback is a gift, so we share it freely and receive it with an open mind. Nobody at HYVE sits on a concern and hopes it goes away. We flag problems early, in the right setting, and take feedback on board without getting defensive. It’s how we grow as a team and do better work for our clients.
In tech and media, standing still means falling behind. So we test new methods, tools and models constantly, and when something works we document it within HYVE Memory, the shared knowledge base our AI agents learn from. Nothing stays in one person’s head.
So, what’s it actually like working day to day at HYVE?
The culture is friendly and approachable, and you’ll feel part of the team from day one. Paid Media, Organic Media, and Data and Tech sit side by side rather than in separate corners, and we aim to work as one. Respect runs through everything we do, so you’ll find people happy to share what they know, whatever their role or experience.
It moves quickly, and with a mix of clients, sectors and challenges, no two weeks look the same. We set high standards and move fast without getting sloppy (AI slop is not welcome here). You’re trusted to take ownership of your work yet support is there whenever you need it. We’re not big on micromanagement, but you’ll never be left to figure it out alone. Honest feedback is always there to help you grow and do your best work for your clients. AI takes care of the repetitive, manual jobs (via our tech stack, Honeycomb) so your time goes on the interesting parts, and you’re encouraged to try new tools and methods, not just allowed to.
We’re always learning, from the industry, from regular training and above all from each other. A growth mindset is the norm here, so we give you the space and the resources to invest in your development, and there are clear routes to take on more responsibility as you show what you can do.
No idea is too small, and if you try something that doesn’t work out, the conversation is about how we improve the process, not who to blame. Communication is honest and open, and our leaders are easy to approach and clear about where the business is heading and why decisions get made.
Great work is recognised and celebrated, whether that’s a big client win, a milestone or just a good week, and we make time to enjoy it together. Put it all together and you get a team that is curious, supportive and quick to help each other, in a place where you are empowered to do your best work.
Life at HYVE is about more than the work, and we believe that the little things can make a big difference.
Parking is provided for every employee, so there’s no circling endlessly looking for a spot. Then there’s the coffee. We’ve partnered with a leading local roaster, and during your onboarding you have the option to visit their roastery for a training session on making the perfect cup, just the way you like it.
You get a Claude subscription via HYVE’s enterprise plan alongside Notion and the other tools we rely on to collaborate. We encourage you to use them freely.
We also have an AI model testing budget, so the team can work with the latest releases beyond Claude, from Gemini and Copilot to Higgsfield, Seedance, Wan and GPT Image, and use whichever proves best for the work at hand.
We believe that the more work we can confidently pass on to automation, the more of your day you can focus on the work you actually enjoy.
We do our best thinking together, so we spend most of the working week in the office. The last working day of the week is for working from home, giving you space to focus and recharge. That is Thursday for our teams in KSA and Egypt, and Friday everywhere else.
Our annual leave policy is generous, and it grows with you: every promotion comes with extra leave days. Everyone also gets an additional day each year to use on their birthday or on any religious or cultural celebration that matters to them.
Many of our team have family overseas, so you can work from abroad for up to three weeks a year and spend proper time with the people you love.
We keep our hiring processes human first. Every application is read by a person, and you’ll always meet the people you’d be working with if you were to join HYVE. AI helps our team work through the volume, but the judgement stays strictly with our experienced people team.
We’re AI-embedded and practitioner-led, so you’re welcome to use AI at any stage of the process. You don’t need to tell us when you do. However, we will be assessing how well you use it, because it’s a skill we value highly.
Find your role in our open vacancies and apply.
Don’t see the right fit? Choose “Speculative application” and upload your CV. We’ll keep it on file for when something opens up. Our agent will flag potential matches as new roles open.
Now we’d like to hear your story. Create a two-slide PowerPoint (or similar software) on why you want to work at HYVE and why your experience fits the role you’ve applied for. If you pass Stage 1, we’ll send you a short brief to point you in the right direction.
Time to meet the people you could be working with. You’ll sit down with two members of our team for a conversation about your skills and experience, covering a mix of technical and competency-based questions. It’s just as much your chance to get a feel for us, so bring your questions and find out if HYVE is the right fit for you.
And finally, we’ll send you a brief inspired by one we’ve had from a client, and ask you to show us how you’d tackle it. There’s no single right answer. We want to see how you think, how you work and what you’d bring to the team. It’s also a taste of what the job is like, so use it to decide whether this is the kind of work you want to do.
We receive a lot of applications, so we can’t reply to everyone. If you reach Stage 3 or beyond, we’ll aim to send you written feedback, whatever the outcome. We’d like every candidate to leave the process knowing a little more than when they started.
