2022 Strategy & Response RAD GRAD null

Do you like shooting the shit on ideas? Does your Tinder opening line make hearts melt?  

Swipe right, it’s a match.

We’re on the hunt for a creative RAD GRAD to assist the Strategy & Response team in their day-to-day duties, working across Pedestrian.TV, VICE, Refinery29, Business Insider, Gizmodo, Lifehacker & Kotaku. The Strategy & Response team advises the world’s biggest brands how to connect with youth culture across Pedestrian Group titles. We track trends, we look for changes in behaviour patterns, we shoot the shit on ideas and we work with other teams across the business to pitch a final recommendation.

About RAD GRADS:

RAD GRADS is a 12-week fully paid in-house graduate training program dedicated to giving young Aussies from underrepresented communities – including Indigenous Australians, those from culturally or linguistically diverse backgrounds, who live with a disability (seen or unseen) and/or who identify as LGBTQIA+ – the tools and techniques required for a rewarding career in digital publishing. 

While full-time employment at Pedestrian Group isn’t a guarantee at the completion of the RAD GRADS program, Rad Graduates will be considered for any full-time open roles that are appropriate to their strengths and interests.

Favoured Skills:

• Curiosity: do you find yourself diving into pop-cultural rabbit holes on the internet?
• Analytical: can you build a compelling story using stats?
• Copywriting: can the words you write make people feel things?

How To Apply:
