Please Note: At Instant Impact, we’re big believers in transparency, so we want to be upfront about the status of this opportunity.

The context: This role is tied to an exciting potential project that we’re currently discussing with a prospective client. While it’s not a live role just yet, things are moving in a positive direction, and we’re preparing in advance so we can hit the ground running if everything goes ahead.

To stay ahead of the curve, we’re keen to start connecting with talented individuals now. This means we’re opening early applications and conducting one-way video interviews to build a strong shortlist.
