Careers

A company built for strategic and creative collaborators.

We’re an intentionally small team with an award-winning reputation for being great to work with (and for). When you’re part of team E&S, you get to experience a different way of working. We offer unmatched benefits, greater autonomy, clear expectations and documented processes that bring it all together. We don’t have openings often, but when we do, we’re looking for passionate folks who share our vision.

Join a culture that values who you are, not just what you do.

Let’s face it. Your job is a big part of your life. That’s why we strive to create an environment that helps you feel fulfilled and supported (at work and beyond).

Do your best work.

Do your best work.

Even as award-winning experts in our respective fields, we’re eager to continue growing and developing. We provide individual and team budgets for training, one-on-one career guidance with a certified coach and access to all the tech and software you need to do your thing.

Choose your time away.

Choose your time away.

Accruing PTO isn’t a thing at E&S. Instead, we have a policy called “self-managed time off” that puts you in control of how many vacation days you take each year and when. Plus, we typically have at least 15 days of agency closures for holidays – including a few holidays we made up, like “Dead of Winter Break” in February.

Own your schedule.

Own your schedule.

Other companies talk about work-life balance; we give you the flexibility to make it happen. We trust that you can get your work done while taking time for the things in life that are important to you. Generally, our folks in Omaha operate on a hybrid schedule: two days remote and three days in-office, with lots of flexibility in between.

Enjoy operational excellence.

Enjoy operational excellence.

We follow an operational philosophy called EOS® that helps us run our company with clarity and conviction. Our documented processes help projects flow smoothly across departments – even in the fast-paced agency world. By working from a shared playbook, you’ll have clear expectations about how your role contributes to the bigger picture.

Take care of yourself.

Take care of yourself.

Our wellness benefits are designed to support you and your family. We help cover the cost of health, dental and vision insurance. We offer life and disability benefits. Every year, you get a wellness stipend to spend how you please. And, when it comes time to expand your family, we offer 12 weeks of paid parental leave.

Prepare for your future.

Prepare for your future.

We know the ultimate career goal is retiring comfortably, so we offer a 401k with up to 4% matching. Better yet, you’re fully vested from the start. Salary adjustments happen annually based on performance and cost of living considerations. Our 360 review process helps ensure you have valuable feedback to work toward that next level.

Our core values inspire us every day.

1.

Stay curious but confident.

What works today might not work tomorrow, and that’s ok. We stay resourceful and agile, with a dose of “never settle” in our bones. We take calculated risks and share our POV — our teammates and clients want to know.

2.

Give a damn.

About our clients, our company, our community and each other. We care passionately about the work we do and the results we achieve.

3.

Own your sh*t.

We stay accountable to ourselves and each other, celebrate our wins and — when things go wrong — we examine, acknowledge, pick up and move on.

4.

Be real.

We are open, honest and show respect for each other. It’s not just about the work we do but how we do it. We are connectors at our core; our relationships matter.

5.

Be really good.

We are each experts in our own roles, high performers with high capacity. We use our experience to make the best decision at every turn. And the work we present is work that only our team could produce.

6.

Make it fun.

Our work lives are actually a pretty big part of our lives as whole people. So we show up here as our authentic selves — ready to have a little fun.

We’re always up to something.

Every month, we send out a quick digest with our latest insights and updates, including fresh job postings you won’t want to miss. Plus, follow our socials to get the most recent news on events, announcements and all the ways we “make it fun” at work.
