How We Work
At HY.AM, great production is about more than delivering on time and on budget. It's about creating the conditions for strong creative ideas to become exceptional work.
We're looking for someone who takes pride in both the final result and the way we get there: someone who brings structure without slowing creativity down, takes responsibility without working in isolation, and knows when to challenge, collaborate or make the call.
You'll be part of an independent, social-first creative agency where production works hand in hand with creative thinking, and where your expertise will have a direct impact on the work we deliver.
What we offer
- Real Ownership: Lead ambitious productions from brief to delivery, with creative and commercial responsibility.
- Interesting Brands: Work across sport, fashion, lifestyle, beauty and culture.
- A Team Around You: Collaborate closely across Social, Strategy, Creative, Account and Production.
- A Collaborative Production Team: Work closely with producers, art direction and post-production, sharing expertise and helping others grow.
- Room to Grow: Learning budget, industry resources and workshops.
- Berlin Studio Culture: A hybrid setup centred around our Mitte studio.
- Benefits: BVG support, Urban Sports Club, employee bonuses, working abroad, and other HY.AM benefits.
- Beyond the Work: Team dinners, activities, off-sites and everything that makes agency life more than deliverables.
