We believe real talent’s worth nurturing, so alongside structured career development and training pathways for all staff, we prioritise positive work-life balance.
Our job is to support the production of great artwork and foster a collaborative culture that inspires, to make ongoing learning and the fun of creativity part of everyone’s journey with us.
Atomhawk begins and ends with its people. Our extraordinary team allows us to achieve feats which would be impossible alone. We commit collectively to giving everyone the creative freedom to grow, as artists and as people.
Our differences make us better professionally and culturally; they’re to be celebrated and they’re a strength. By setting ourselves the highest standards for planning and precision, and staying not just up to date, but one step ahead, we make sure our work is exceptional, every time.
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.
Everyone has at least eight training days annually, and all staff work on training and development objectives 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.
