What we’re up to at Untold

We're an independent creative studio powered by world-class talent, visionary clients and a bold future. Our people and culture are at the heart of everything we do. Our purpose is simple: to create outstanding content that captivates audiences - while enjoying every step of the journey.

The Role

As Untold continues to grow, we're evolving our People team, systems and ways of working to support the next stage of the business.
