Job Description
native has been building for 10 years. Were still very much a startup: fastmoving ambitious and building with intent. Were creating the infrastructure that connects students Students Unions universities and advertisers through a joinedup marketplace.
Our goal is to increase student engagement while enabling Students Unions to secure sustainable funding. For advertisers we offer meaningful measurable routes to student audiences. The more aligned these incentives are the more defensible and scalable our business becomes.
Were looking for graduates who want to step straight into meaningful work learn quickly and grow fast.
What were looking for
We value clarity of thought good judgement under pressure and the ability to create structure where none exists.
You might be right for this if:
- You think in first principles not borrowed answers solving problems from the ground up
- You move fast without being messy you know when speed matters and when precision does
- You thrive in ambiguity youre comfortable making decisions when there isnt a map
- You do the work not for applause but because it matters to you that things are done well
- Youve got range youre not just smart on paper; youve done things that demanded resilience judgement or initiative
We are open to a wide range of degree backgrounds but we look for intellectual sharpness and structured thinking. That often shows up in disciplines like engineering maths philosophy languages (whether classical or modern) or history but not always. If your academic path is less typical help us understand how your thinking has been shaped and why it stands up.
What youll be working on
Youll join the Ad Products & Inventory function. This team defines what native sells how its structured and how it scales across the business. It is a strategic commercially critical part of the company.
In your first six months youll be involved in:
- Running the ad products that drive natives commercial engine
- Working with sales delivery data and creative to shape how campaigns are sold and executed
- Managing the realworld constraints of inventory pricing and availability
- Helping build the systems that underpin thousands of campaigns across the UK
Your decisions will influence everything from sales strategy to campaign and youll be expected to contribute early and often with real support and feedback along the way.
Progression
This is a sixmonth engagement paid at the London Living Wage. If you perform well the expectation is that youll move into a promoted permanent role at the end of that period. We treat this as a proving ground for longterm hires not an internship.
During your interview process youll be encouraged to speak to people at native who walked this path before you.
Location and ways of working
Youll be based in our London office working in person at least four days a week with one optional day remote. We believe in highbandwidth collaboration and fast decisionmaking so most of the work happens facetoface.
How to apply
We dont want a cover letter. Instead send us something that shows how you think. That might be:
- A tradeoff youve had to make and how you decided
- A problem you tackled without much guidance
- A system or process youd redesign and how youd go about it
- A time you had to choose what not to do and why
Also please do include a recent CV or a link to your LinkedIn profile / equivalent.
And If youre reading this and thinking I really want to do this but I probably wont get picked apply anyway. We care far more about how you think and how you show up than whether you tick every imagined box. Dont rule yourself out.
Were hiring on a rolling basis. If this sounds like the kind of challenge youre ready for get in touch.
