Why Taoti

Heres the thing about working at Taoti: Were theGoldilocks of creative agencies.Big enough to do national high-profile work. Small enough that youre never just a cog in a machine. We have the clout to land top-tier clients but the flexibility to let you carve your own path.

That means your career growth here is driven by youyour initiative your curiosity and the impact you make. We dont do rigid hierarchies and we dont expect you to wait years in line for opportunities. If you want to grow experiment or stretch into new areas youll have the space to do it.

Logistics

This is a full-time W2 in-house role based out of our Washington DC office. A note about what it means to be in-house here: the rule of thumb is that most employees in the DC area are in the office 4 days a week (we accrue telework like we do PTO so you can bank it and use it up as you see fit. (Though you can. Some people do!) Certain roles (such as managers or people involved in projects that require more on-site meetings) may be more and that may change from time to time. Ultimately our goal is to embrace a hybrid office culture that balances the needs of the agency with the needs of employees.

Is there room for career growth

Thats one of the best parts about this role a larger shop the project management hierarchy is usually large layered and not-so-flexible. Or at a smaller shop you may have lots of flexibility but not enough of a team to really benefit from true collaboration. Taoti is the Goldilocks of creative agencies. We have enough structure so that you understand what the team looks like and where you fit in. But were small and agile enough to let employees carve out new roles and niches where it makes sense to do so. Our teams and roles are constantly evolving as the team grows so if you want to grow into a role that doesnt exist you can help create it! In other words we grow the team around what we already havenot according to some org chart or spreadsheet. So career paths are not rigid and finite. We have a history of shaking things up making rather bold HR moves and adapting our hiring processes (as well as the roles of our existing employees) in a way that makes strategic sense for the employee and the company. And weve created all sorts of new roles for new hires for positions that didnt exist before in some cases creating whole new realms within our team structure. The point is that were committed to doing whatever makes the most sense and are agile enough to get away with it. So your career trajectory has far more to do with your own aptitude and initiative than it does with an org chart or whos above you.

Whats the corporate culture like

Fun but focused as one Taoti put it is a great way to sum up our culture. Were a fun and casual shop. The kind of place where you can wear whatever come and go as you please and have autonomy over your own day for the most part. But we take the work seriously and believe deep in the mission to makemeaningful and measurableimpacts for our clients. All the perks and shenanigans and borderline irreverent tone are fun but to really fit in here you need to beabout the work.

We believe in total transparency and open communication across teams and across ranks. Instead of chain-of-command we want everyone to have and share their own voice. The CEO holds CafeClutchjust so he can hear ideas and feedback directly from the team instead of through the filter of management.
