We're Hiring: Junior to Mid-weight Planner Are you passionate about developing insight driven narratives, informing creative briefs, designing digital experiences and finding ways to communicate to both B2B and B2C audiences? Do you thrive in a fast-paced agency environment where no two days are the same? If so, we’d love to hear from you We’re on the lookout for either a junior or mid-weight Strategic Planner to join our dynamic and growing agency and play a key role in shaping the direction of projects across a range of clients. Make an undeniable impact with Apparent We’re an independent agency of 200+ thinkers, creators and solution-makers. We exist for one reason: to give our clients a competitive edge. It’s why we’re trusted by global giants like Google, Optus, Vanuatu Tourism and Volkswagen, alongside iconic local brands and startups. That edge comes from the standard we set for ourselves – the craft in every detail and the thought we put into every room we enter. We don’t settle for “good enough” because we care enough to make it great. If you’re looking for a place where your craft is respected and the ego is left at the door, you’ve found it. It’s an exciting time to join us at our brand-new, dog-friendly HQ in Eveleigh. We believe in high standards, but never at the expense of your life outside the office. It’s a culture our team actually advocates for; our people recommend Apparent as a great place to work. What you can look forward to:
• Extra leave: Enjoy paid Summer Days for you and Reproductive Health Leave.
• Growth and mentorship: Access to training, development, coaching and industry events.

• Community impact:



Opportunities to get involved in pro-bono programs and volunteer work.
• Wellbeing programs: Physical and mental health initiatives, including an EAP and RUOK? Day activities. We’re also leaning into what’s next by actively embracing AI across our roles, using it to enhance our expertise and keep both our agency and our clients at the forefront of the industry. We have an entrepreneurial spirit and we know the best work doesn’t always fit into neat, tidy boxes. Neither should you. If you’re a pro at your craft (or looking for a mentor who is) and a genuine collaborator ready to deliver something undeniable, let’s talk. About the job This role combines the opportunity to work hand in hand with our clients and internal teams to develop insight driven narratives, inform creative briefs, design digital experiences and find ways to communicate to both B2B and B2C audiences.

We need people who are entrepreneurial and hungry to collaborate to deliver great work. If you’re looking to grow and stretch your strategic skill set from a specialism of CX into a broader generalist/brand capability, then this is the role for you. What underpins that is a people first culture. We’re probably the nicest place you’ll ever work at.
