A little about Ideally:

Ideally is a consumer insights platform that enables brand, product, campaign or innovation ideas to be quickly tested with consumers & iterated on - bringing the voice of the consumer in early to build confidence and momentum in ideas. With Ideally, more people can access insights more often – enabling a new mindset for brands and innovation teams. Underpinning this is some clever tech, research playbooks and data.

Why Ideally?

We’re a tight knit, supportive and super motivated team with the ambitious goal to take Ideally global and help innovation and marketing teams put great ideas out in the world. We’re one of NZ’s fastest growing start-ups and just closed a recent capital rise.

We value curiosity, aspiration, being bold, elevated execution, being trusting and direct. We have a lot of fun together and we’ll provide room for you to be your best.

We have a great office in Grey Lynn as well with offices in Melbourne and Sydney. We have an office first culture, but support work flexibility and work from home when needed. We offer competitive start-up salaries and benefits.

Note - We know from research that women or non-binary applicants don’t always apply for roles they don’t feel 100% qualified for, so we encourage anyone who is interested to get in touch. Focus on the bullet points that match your experience, not the ones that don’t. Our job posting is the starting point for a conversation, and we’re always excited to hear from people who are interested in working with us.
