ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST
TEAMS OF DIGITAL ARTISTS, DESIGNERS AND TECH SPECIALISTS

Current Openings

Atomhawk’s strength comes from who we are, our creativity, collaboration, and the shared values that shape every project and interaction.

Real talent is worth nurturing, so alongside structured career development and training pathways, we prioritise positive work-life balance and a no-crunch policy.

Everyone has the creative freedom to grow, as artists, designers, engineers and as people. Our job is to support the production of great work for our clients, and foster a collaborative, inspiring culture that lays a solid foundation for everyone’s journey with us.

Join our team

Our differences make us better professionals and better people; they’re to be celebrated and they’re a strength. We set ourselves a high standard for creative planning and execution, to ensure our work is exceptional, every time.

Atomhawk HQ is located in the heart of the North East England’s art scene, on the Gateshead quayside. The studio is flanked by galleries and theatres, live music venues, pulsing nightlife, and eclectic shopping. Newcastle is three minutes on foot, the beach is 15 minutes by Metro, and (it’s a cliché but it’s true) the people are super friendly.

Training & Development

We take training and development seriously. Everyone should be moving forward, pushing the limits of their potential. Our structured career development pathway is linked to a grading system. Monthly one-to-ones, plus biannual appraisals help staff progress and map out future plans.

All staff have the opportunity work on training and development objectives for 5 allocated days throughout the year, some of which are set by management, some by individual team members. Our management and leadership teams provide structured support on defined training tasks.

Applying? What to expect

We know applying for jobs can be overwhelming, but we don’t want that to stop us finding you. We’re transparent about our recruitment process so that all candidates, at all levels can prepare for their interview with confidence.

  • Application review – We’ll review your application, previous experience and/or portfolio, and reply to you. If you’re unsuccessful, we encourage you to check out the wealth of free education available in our Resources directory.
  • Get to know – If we’re considering you for the position, you’ll be invited to an online interview with our hiring manager and department lead. This typically lasts 1 hour, and it’s a chance to chat about your application, ambitions, and experience.
  • Filling in the gaps – If there are any key elements we couldn’t see in your portfolio or CV, you may be asked to take a test.
  • Second interview – We may hold a second interview so additional members of the team can meet you. This is also a great chance for you to ask us any extra questions you might have.
  • Offer – If you’re successful, you’ll receive an offer of employment via email. Unsuccessful candidates at this stage will receive an email with personalised feedback.

Equality, diversity, and inclusion statement

Creativity thrives through diversity, not conformity. Every Atomhawk applicant and employee is afforded space and freedom to be their true self, with no fear of prejudice or persecution. During the application process, you won’t be judged on your name, your gender, your sexuality, your ethnicity, your age, your religion, or any other factor unrelated to your ability to do the job.

Our managers undertake mandatory EDI training and are committed to making our workplace more inclusive for underrepresented team members, including through the implementation of reasonable adjustments. This is a workplace where all employees feel safe, welcome, and represented.
