Work on work that matters

Want to create positive impact through design? Learn about what we did.

You can check for any open roles on Today’s website.

We no longer post open roles here after our integration with national agency, Today, which we announced in July 2025.

If you want to design a better future alongside people who check egos at the door, we think you’ll fit right at home at Today. They embody the same spirit as our past DrawHistorians.

Working at /DH

  • We were always on the lookout for people excited to use their career to bring meaningful change. Here were some things you could expect during your time here.

Work that impacted lives

Our work tackled the big issues that influence and define today, from social justice to STEM education and climate change. We were excited by the opportunity to help solve these challenges every day.

We celebrated each other

People were at the centre of DrawHistory’s daily life. With that came annual learning stipends, donation matching and access to online courses — plus the occasional celebratory flowers and lunch!

Career-focused learning

There were few things more rewarding than seeing DrawHistorians grow. Learning sessions like our Breakfast Club fostered learning over coffee and cookies with guests from NASA and Google, from local street artists in Australia to the United States.

Wellbeing and flexibility

We strived to protect our team’s wellbeing beyond regular lunches as a team. We built a culture where each person was encouraged to openly share their experiences, be vulnerable and honest, come up for air, and discuss their concerns.

01
Work/Life Balance

In order to hustle hard and take our work seriously, we valued rest, rejuvenation and life outside of the office. Our standard work week was forty hours.

02
Vacation

You could take time off when needed, no judgment or pressure. We trusted you to take the time you needed to recharge—whether that’s traveling the world or bingeing the latest Netflix series.

03
Baby-bonding Time

We were proud to support parents and caregivers with flexible scheduling. For new parents, we offered up to eight weeks of paid leave, plus an option to take an additional month unpaid.

04
Continued Learning

We were always honing our craft, and would support you to deepen your skills or learn new ones. After one year, we would reimburse up to $250 for your choice of professional development.

05
Donation Matching

We cared about the causes our people cared about. Because change is a collective act, we matched 50% of DrawHistorians’ donations up to $100.

06
Discounted Industry Events

We were plugged into diverse industry events, whether with Forbes or TEDx, and often offered discounted tickets and early-bird RSVPs for our team.

We were at our best when we were recharged and rested as our full selves.

“Reset” days

We offered surprise “reset” days to help our team recharge. This was a paid day off that didn’t count towards your leave! (Check out some pictures from our last Reset Day.)

Access to the Calm app

Calm is the world’s leading app for sleep, meditation, and relaxation. As a DrawHistorian, you had premium access to all of Calm’s meditation exercises, sleep stories, and more. We even talked in the office about what sleep stories and meditation we were loving. (Hint: It’s always Matthew McConnaughey.)

Time off when needed

We all go through rough patches, whether it’s family emergencies, health hurdles, and everything in between. When someone needed time or help, all they had to do was ask — no judgment or pressure.

Personal goal-setting

Each DrawHistorian set personal goals every handful of months. We believed these shouldn’t just be about work, but also the aspirations that we had for our physical and mental health. We checked in on these, just like for any project, and held one other accountable to them.

Team retreats and events

We hosted regular team events and retreats to help us all rest and relax, from birthday lunches to the occasional milestone dinner. Our last retreat was a 3-day weekend, where we unplugged with nature.

Extended 1:1s

Each person on the team had a 45-minute weekly check-in with their manager to chat openly and regularly about how we can help one another better — both at work and beyond.

Recurring pulse check

We did fortnightly pulse surveys through an online platform, which gave us the opportunity to share anonymous feedback. These helped us track our well-being over time and unearthed topics that might’ve been hard to bring up in person.
