Meet the latest addition to the Oak Team, Craig Jobey. Craig has joined Oak as a Business Outreach Manager working on the Marketing Team. We caught up with Craig so you can get to know a bit more about him.
I was first drawn to Oak with the emergence of employee engagement, being a topic that’s constantly growing. I’ve worked in many organisations where engagement hasn’t been too high on the agenda so I have first-hand experience of how it feels to be a disengaged employee.
From first speaking with the team here at Oak, I loved how it was all about the people and personalities rather than scrutinising a CV. I’m a firm believer that skills can be taught & learnt over time so I was pretty hooked from first finding that out!
I’ll be working within the Marketing team as a Business Outreach Manager. Coming from predominantly a sales background, it’s going to be really interesting to have that input within team Marketing and help streamline our strategy. Ultimately, giving us a wider reach and continuing to show organisations the value that Oak can bring.
Part of the reason I was really drawn to working for Oak, was starting at a similar time to several other people across Sales & Marketing. It’s really felt like the start of a project for a lot of us so even after only a month, it’s great to see some of our ideas starting to take shape. I can only imagine the satisfaction over time, but it’s been really refreshing to see our creativity and ideas being valued, and the confidence in our decisions.
Like many people, I really struggled initially adjusting to working from home full time. It was a struggle being in a completely different routine and creating that separation between home & work life. Aside from the daily walk and fresh air, the top tip that’s helped me is whilst I’m working - shoes are on!
Aside from the tattoos being the typical conversation starter, a fun fact is I’ve toured and released 2 albums with a band when I was a lot younger! Our music is still on iTunes and Spotify but it’s not quite paying the bills just yet..
