At Obsidian, we don’t just hire people to fill roles — we look for individuals who are eager to shape their own careers while contributing to something bigger. We are a performance marketing agency with a clear mission: to create exceptional business results through digital strategy, and to do so by empowering talented, curious, and driven people.

This page gives you a transparent look into life at Obsidian: how we work, how we grow, and how we support each other — from day one and every day after.

What defines working at Obsidian isn’t just the job — it’s the people, the pace, and the purpose we share.

What makes us different as a workplace

We move fast. Good ideas don’t sit in slideshows — they get tested and implemented. We’d rather make a mistake by acting than stagnate by overthinking.

We empower early ownership. Interns speak to clients. Associates run real cases. You’re trusted as soon as you’re ready.

We’re both structured and creative. With clear career paths and client models, there’s room for both order and experimentation.

We’re constantly evolving — new markets, new services, new ideas. You’ll never be bored, and your input will always matter.

Our core values

Proffesionalism

We take our craft seriously - not because someone tells us to, but because we're motivated by quality. Whether you're writing ad copy, building strategies, or leading clients, we expect focus, accountability, and pride in the outcome. Professionalism for us means reliability, clarity, and being someone others can count on.

Social Connection

We believe in strong relationships lead to stronger work. That's why we invest in social activities, team rituals, and informal time together - from joint lunches and Friday bars to office ping-pong matches and weekend retreats. Being part of Obsidian means knowing your colleagues as more than job titles.

Development

We expect people to grow, and we do everything we can to support that growth. Your development isn't passive; it's active, built into how we work. Whether you're presenting to a client or shadowing a senior colleague, every week includes learning opportunities that move you forward.

Meet our people

We believe in showing, not telling. That’s why we highlight real people, with real backgrounds and real journeys, so you can understand who we are through their voices — not just ours.

Each story is presented as a blog-style feature, where the person introduces themselves and shares answers to key questions about their experience. These are not scripted testimonials, but honest, direct reflections.

Mentorship that makes a difference

After 1-2 months of employment, you’ll be matched with a mentor — typically a more senior colleague in your department. These are recurring, open conversations where you can talk about anything: your ambitions, challenges, feedback, or career planning.

Combined with continuous learning, sparring sessions, and peer feedback, our approach ensures that you're never navigating your growth alone.

We strive to improve in how we embrace diversity, inclusion, and well-being

We are committed to creating a workplace where people feel safe to speak up, take risks, and be their authentic selves without fear of judgment or exclusion.

Psychological safety for us means that every voice matters — whether it’s sharing a bold idea, admitting a mistake, or challenging the status quo — and that those contributions are met with curiosity and respect, not criticism.

We value and actively seek out different perspectives, experiences, and ways of thinking, and we work to ensure that everyone is treated with dignity and fairness, regardless of their background, race, religion, sexuality, gender identity, or any other aspect of who they are.

We are not perfect — but we are intentional. Inclusion at Obsidian is not a slogan. It’s an ongoing commitment.

Making life outside work as rewarding as life inside

We believe high performance is only sustainable when people feel supported — not just as employees, but as individuals.

When you apply

We love applications that show originality and personality. Don’t just tell us what you can do — show us. Concrete examples of your achievements, projects, or creative solutions make a big impression and help us see how you think and work.

What we look for

We look for people who are both skilled and collaborative. People who can take ownership of their work while lifting others up. People who care about getting things right — and helping others succeed along the way. There’s no single “Obsidian profile,” but we tend to value applicants who:

Bring a genuine interest in digital marketing and stay curious about new trends
Are open-minded and comfortable working with different cultures, disciplines, and perspectives
Take initiative and responsibility without losing sight of the team
Approach problems practically and creatively
Communicate clearly across disciplines or cultures
Are curious and generous in sharing knowledge

If you can show us who you are, what you’ve done, and how you think, you’ll stand out. Originality and concrete examples are far more compelling than generic statements.

After you apply

You’ll receive a confirmation immediately. We do our best to review and respond within a few weeks. Every application is read by a real person — not just filtered by algorithms.

The interview journey

Most processes include 3–4 interviews. Each is designed to assess a different dimension of fit:

1. Motivation & Alignment

Do our values match yours?

2. Skills & Potential

Can you succeed in the role?

3. Collaboration & Mindset

How do you work with others?

‍

Some roles may include:

A logic or reasoning test
A case exercise relevant to the job function

You will be kept informed throughout — we communicate clearly, provide context before each step, and give feedback where possible. We aim to make every candidate experience feel fair and respectful.
