What are the specifics of the program?

The Alpha Foundations Program runs for 12 months from January 2023 until January 2024 and is split into two distinct phases - 'find what you love' and 'deepen your knowledge'. 

Phase 1: Find what you love

During the first 6 months, associates rotate around each department in the business – Digital Experience, Paid Media, Creative and Client Solutions. At Alpha Digital, we expose our associates to a wide variety of digital marketing services to foster collaborative learning, curiosity, and then the opportunity to apply and iterate.

Phase 2: Deepen your knowledge

Based on exposure to each department and the work completed during the initial 6 months, associates will then be given the opportunity to spend the next 6 months deep diving into a preferred speciality department. This time is all about immersing yourself in your chosen speciality area with more intensive training programs as well as providing the opportunity to apply what you’ve learned to deliver real value to clients.

Next steps

Based on the work you do as part of your cohort, high performing associates will be selected and offered a permanent full-time role in their chosen speciality.

Foundations project

A key part of the Alpha Foundations program is the Foundations Project. This project, completed in the final 3 months of the program, will give you the opportunity to show off what you’ve learned to both a real-life client and the team that nurtured you during your time at Alpha Digital. You’ll work with a mentor and Foundation program peers to deliver a client campaign project to the agency that showcases an application of the key skills you learned during the program. This is your time to shine!

What will my day to day look like?

Due to the broad scope of the Foundations program, a definitive list of duties and responsibilities will always be a little imperfect. Your day could comprise of any/all/some/none of the following:

• Participate in training sessions led by Alpha Digital’s internal product experts, as well as training provided by our partners such as Google, Facebook, Quantcast + more.

• Practice what you’ve learned in a collaborative work environment, finessing your skills on real client accounts.

• Meet with your mentor for 1:1 coaching, support, feedback and guidance.

• Shadow more senior team members, attending and observing client pitches and regular WIPs to get a first-hand experience of agency-life.

• As a keen self-starter, you take the initiative and are proactive in looking for ways to support and assist the product teams in delivering excellent work.

• Observe and learn from how your peers make decisions to form your own understanding as to how we continually improve and streamline our product offering or ways of working.

Application process

A heads up, there’s some timed testing elements during our application process. As we don’t collect CV’s, our process is a little different. We recommend allowing 60 minutes to complete your application.

Step one

You’ll be asked to complete a short multiple choice test. You’ll be given 20 minutes to complete 10 questions. You might want a notepad and calculator to assist you with completing this section.

Step two

You’ll be asked to complete written responses to 4 questions. These have been designed to help us assess how you would respond to real life scenarios in the role and to get an understanding of what you are hoping to get out of the Foundations program.

There is no time limit for completing these questions. Your form responses will automatically save, so you don’t necessarily need to complete them in one sitting. Depending on how familiar you are with digital marketing, some questions may require you to do a little bit of research to stand the best chance of putting together a top-scoring response.

If you have any questions or require any support to complete your application, please reach out to our hiring team at jobs@alphadigital.com.au.
