Why people join

  • Close to the decision-makers.

    You’ll work directly with founders, CEOs and CMOs, not three layers away from them.

  • Work the business feels.

    Funding rounds, category launches, repositioning. The stakes are real and you’ll see the results.

  • Ownership from day one.

    You run your accounts. Senior colleagues back you up. Nobody micromanages you.

  • Technology worth understanding.

    AI, cybersecurity and enterprise technology, every day. You’ll get sharper quickly.

Fully remote across the US and UK.

How we work

We’re small enough that everyone’s work is visible and senior enough that the bar is high. We say what we think, including to clients. We move quickly, write clearly and don’t hide behind process. And we bring the energy: to client calls, to pitches and to each other.

If you want a big-agency ladder with layers of approval before you speak to a client, we’re probably not the right fit. If you want to be trusted early, read on.

What we value

  • Candor

    Say the useful thing, clearly and kindly, even when it’s uncomfortable.

  • Ambition

    For our clients, for Waters and for your own career.

  • Care

    For the work, for our clients’ businesses and for each other.

  • Accountability

    Own the outcome, not just the task.

  • High standards

    If it goes out with our name on it, it’s right.

  • Bring the energy

    Clients bring us in to make things move. We show up like it.
