While we don’t take ourselves too seriously, we do take our work very seriously. We’re proud of what we do. Our team is filled with smart, skilled communicators who share and live these core values: Gumption, Build, Play, Tune in
We give all Slingers the opportunity to do the most impactful work of their careers here, giving them the training, skills and support to develop new passions, services and client portfolios, with the support of a dedicated manager
We offer 20 days annual leave per year, 10 days wellness leave per year, which can be taken for physical or mental wellbeing, as well as Christmas to New Year’s Day off in addition to your leave allowance
Every Slinger also has access to an additional 2 floating days per year which can be used to observe dates and causes that are significant but not necessarily recognised by standard public holidays
We’re supportive of parents and believe in inclusivity regardless of whether you’re considered the primary and secondary carer: we offer up to 12 weeks Paid Parental Leave for anyone, and in the unfortunate circumstance of baby loss, up to 8 weeks Paid Compassionate Pregnancy Loss Leave
We enjoy Meeting Free Mondays so everyone gets a full day of uninterrupted focus time.
With offices in Auckland, Sydney, Singapore, Los Angeles and New York as well as many sister agencies across the Outelap global collective, there are opportunities to extend your holiday or stay in a location and work from another Sling & Stone or Outleap office with prior sign-off.
