Working at H+K Strategies

Working at H+K is being part of a global family of thinkers, doers and game-changers. It’s more than producing quality work for some of the world’s top brands and companies (though a lot of the time that’s exactly what we’re doing), it’s building an invaluable network and making a difference. It’s working hard while living life to the fullest.

Every day, our people show up ready to get to work, and we’d like to think it’s for more than just the free snacks. There’s no typical day – our teams do everything from content strategy to crisis management. We’ve been recognized as one of the best places to work for women and working parents – offering benefits and flexibility that push the industry forward in terms of employee wellness.

Working at H+K is a chance to work with some of the smartest, most creative minds in the business. And whether you’re Skyping with a mentor in Singapore, standing shoulder to shoulder with colleagues from around the world at a big-budget launch event, or winning the annual chili cook-off, good people and exciting opportunities are plentiful.

Communications has no borders, so why should we? All of our staff are welcome and encouraged to visit other H+K offices, and if interested, we have dedicated transfer programs to help match interested staff with needs across our global network.

At H+K, you will help build teams that work collaboratively, across geographic boundaries, to push the limits of what public relations, marketing and communications can do and accomplish.
