Why Gate One?

We are a business and digital transformation consultancy dedicated to helping clients thrive. As part of Havas, one of the world’s largest global communications groups, creativity is in our DNA and shapes how we think, work and deliver meaningful change.

We are building our physical presence in Ireland, and this is an opportunity to help shape it. Our Irish team is small, with the energy and ownership of a start-up, but the work is anything but small: you will deliver projects alongside colleagues from across our global business.

• Help build something: join a small Irish team at an exciting stage of growth, with real influence over how our presence in Ireland develops, rather than inheriting an established structure.
• Global work from an Irish base: work on projects alongside colleagues across our offices in the UK, Europe, India and the US, drawing on international experience and capability.
• Visibility and ownership: in a small team, your contribution is seen, and you will have the opportunity to shape accounts, propositions and the team itself.
• The agility of a challenger with the reach of Havas: combine the pace and ownership of an entrepreneurial consultancy with the backing of one of the world’s largest global communications groups.

We are committed to an inclusive hiring process. All applications will be given fair consideration regardless of gender, civil status, family status, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, race (including colour, nationality and ethnic or national origin), or membership of the Traveller community. We welcome individuals from all educational backgrounds to apply. We encourage applications from underrepresented and minority groups and will provide reasonable accommodation where needed to ensure a fair and accessible process.

Our goal is to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace that values the unique perspectives and contributions of each team member. If you require any support or have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to one of our Talent team.
