READY TO DO WORK YOU'RE PROUD OF? At Charlie Oscar, we're not your typical digital marketing agency. We're a team of big thinkers, bold doers, and collaborative problem-solvers working with some of the world's most ambitious brands to help them outsmart, outpace, and outgrow the competition. We blend data science and creativity to make smarter decisions and create work that genuinely moves the needle. The numbers give us clarity, but it's our creativity that wins hearts, builds brands, and drives real growth. Over the past few years, we've been building a modern, high-performance marketing consultancy that's as serious about how we operate as it is about the work we produce. We move fast, we experiment, we improve, and we raise the bar - continuously. Life at Charlie Oscar is fast-paced, ambitious, and full of momentum. You'll work alongside some of the sharpest minds in the industry, solving meaningful problems, delivering work you're proud of, and seeing the impact you make for global brands. And we know it's not all about work. We make time for fun too - whether it's weekly run club, book and chess clubs, charity fundraisers, Thursday drinks, or epic team socials, there's always something going on and plenty of great people to do it with. Most importantly, we hire for attitude and culture add, not just experience.

We're hiring a Head of AI Operations to own, formalise, and accelerate our AI-first operating model.
