Are You Interested in Working With Us?

Who We Hire

We look to hire new staff who are intelligent and self-aware, have a demonstrated ability (or clear potential) to be talented in their area, and above all are passionate about their work (and work in general).

Since everything we do is collaborative, we also look for people who thrive when working with others.

Finally, we look for people with an interest and ability to learn new skills as their career progresses.

Proximis is an equal opportunity employer and we welcome new members from all backgrounds.  Since much of our work takes place in the communication mediums of design, video, and numbers, strong English skills are not required.

Ever since the COVID pandemic changed the world, we recognize and respect the choices that many organizations have made to offer remote work opportunities, however, experience has shown that remote work is not for us. The work we do, and our company culture, are both better when we are working together in-person. Remote work will only ever be a minor part of the work experience at Proximis. For this reason, we look to hire people who enjoy working daily in our office with friendly and driven colleagues.
Here's a little more to know about us!

What Is It Like Working With Proximis?

Proximis is an exciting agency – young(ish), innovative, and independent. Now twelve years old, we have our own way of doing things, and it gets results. Our Studio location in Downtown Vancouver is a pleasure to work from.
We strive for creativity and excellence.
We get excited about amazing products and strategies.  We don’t want to simply do what everyone else has done.  We find that when we remember to go back to the first principles of what we are trying to accomplish for our clients, conflicts disappear and working together is easy.
We embrace change.
Evolution and change are core to our DNA.  The world does not stay still, and neither do we.  We are constantly learning, experimenting, innovating, and changing.
We are honest with ourselves and our clients.
We do not over-promise or over-sell.  We deliver the bad news to clients along with the good.  We are self-critical about our work, and identify areas for improvement.  We strive to be a trusted partner to our clients.  You will not see us on autopilot telling our clients that “everything is great.”
We normalize criticism.  
We want to do the best work possible, and for this reason, ideas on how to do better are always (well, almost always) welcome.
We value in-person work.
We respect the decision that many people and companies have made to work remotely, but it’s not for us.  We value the energy, collaborative spirit, and new opportunities that arise from being together.  Remote work will only ever be a minor portion of how our work gets done.
The office should be a productive, enjoyable place.
If you’re in a bad mood, don’t share it. Please go for a walk or to a coffee shop.  Come back when you’re good - you’ll be welcome!
No dress code.
Wear whatever you like to the office, provided that it makes you feel smart and fits in with the culture established with our
We celebrate individuality.
Are you a bit weird somehow?  That’s fantastic - we will find it interesting and celebrate it.
We care about what you do at Proximis, and after Proximis.
Some staff stay at Proximis for a short time, some for a long time - and both approaches are embraced.  We want your time here to be a career accelerator, where you do exceptional work and learn new things that will set you up for the future.  And after you have left, you will be part of our esteemed alumni club, and we will look forward to staying in touch.
We encourage pranks!
Seriously, who wants to work at a company where there are no pranks?  We don’t.
