Careers · Fully remote
Do your best work,
from anywhere.
Otternative is a remote-first Swiss agency building digital marketing for brands that dare to be different. We hire creative people across SEO, PPC, CRO, paid social, web and copy — a distributed team of 15 across five continents, working in 12+ countries and 10+ languages.
How we work
A studio without a single zip code.
Freedom & responsibility
Nobody here clocks who did what, when. We give grown adults real freedom — and with it comes real ownership. Trusted people do their best work, so we trust first.
Remote-first, for real
Not “remote-friendly” with a head office you’re quietly judged for missing. The whole studio is distributed across five continents — async by default, in your time zone, on your schedule.
Transparency
No vanity metrics, no smoke — internally either. You’ll always know what we’re doing, why, and how the work is actually landing for the client.
Where we hire
Roles across every discipline.
We grow teams around great people, not the other way around. These are the crafts we hire for most — strategists, specialists and generalists alike.
What we look for
The kind of people who thrive here.
Craft over credentials
We care what you’ve made, not which logos are on your CV. Show us the work and the thinking behind it.
Comfort in the niche
We win in hard, overlooked markets — finance, FX, regulated verticals, B2B nobody else wants. Curiosity about the unglamorous is a superpower here.
Ownership
You run your lane. We’d rather give you the keys and the context than hand you a checklist and watch the clock.
What it takes
The skills that make remote work actually work.
Remote isn’t about where you sit — it’s about how you operate when no one’s in the room. These are the traits we look for hardest, because they’re the ones that can’t be managed into existence.
Self-motivation
Nobody stands over your shoulder here. The work gets done because you decide it does — not because someone is watching the clock.
Follow-through
You close loops. What you pick up gets finished, and the people waiting on you never have to chase.
Proactive communication
Remote runs on over-communication. You flag blockers early, share progress before you’re asked, and never go quietly dark.
Written clarity
Most of the job is writing — briefs, updates, docs. You can make yourself understood without booking a meeting.
Ownership & responsibility
You own outcomes, not hours. When something is yours, it’s genuinely yours — the wins and the fixes both.
Comfort with ambiguity
You can move without perfect instructions — make a sensible call and adjust, instead of stalling until someone tells you what to do.
Quick self-test
Are you a remote-work unicorn?
Five honest questions, no wrong answers — just a read on whether you’d thrive in a studio that runs on trust instead of supervision.
Question 1 / 5
You’re blocked — you don’t have a tool or access you need. What do you actually do?
Get in touch
No open role listed? We still want to meet you.
We hire when we meet the right person — not just when a job ad goes live. Send us your work, tell us what you’d want to own, and we’ll take it from there.
