About D&AD
Founded in 1962, D&AD is an organisation that is all about the pursuit of creative excellence within advertising and design – inspiring it, celebrating it and enabling it. A fundamental way of us achieving this is through our world class learning programmes which upskill the current and future workforce.
Whilst our remit focuses on the advertising and design industry there is a broader goal, to demonstrate the positive impact that creativity can have across education, the economy and within society.
Purpose of the job
We are looking to expand the team that delivers D&AD Shift with Google to Sydney.
What is D&AD Shift with Google?
Shift exists to challenge the idea that there is only one route into a creative career. College fees and other systemic barriers have prevented some of the best talent from becoming part of our industry. The creative industry needs to change the way we
recruit. We need to look at creating alternative pipelines and alternative education channels, in order to change the balance.
Shift is a different kind of talent programme. A free, industry-led night-school for outstanding, untapped and fresh creatives who don’t have a four-year college degree or industry networks but are looking to kick-start a creative career.
Meeting twice a week online and in agencies around the city, a group of 20 emerging creatives will work on briefs and creative challenges for 15 weeks, culminating in a showcase and paid placements.
Your role will be helping to make this incredible opportunity happen within Sydney.

- Ensure outcomes are achieved against milestones
- Monitor and report progress to partners
- Establish an excellent working relationship with the Shifters and be their first

- Be the contact for industry employers, in order to match-make and maximize employment opportunities for the Shifters
