What is the Giraffe Culture Code?
At Giraffe, we hold each other to account. We encourage each other to push our skills and build new ones. And through it all, we have each other’s backs.
Want to join the Giraffe team? Great! Read through the culture code below to see if your values align with ours.
001
tell the truth, always
.We don’t lie, we don’t twist the truth, and we don’t hide problems.
Integrity is the bare minimum.
002
show up for teammates
.If someone is struggling, you step in. No one at Giraffe works in isolation - we have each others’ backs.
003
nothing but respect
.We’re all grown ups. We don’t do games, gossip or drama. We show respect for each other at all times..
004
embrace the chaos
.Working here means pace, pressure, and challenges. But the stakes aren’t life or death - so stay calm, laugh often, and enjoy it.
005
own your growth
.You’re expected to be forever learning. Read books, take feedback, seek mentorship, ask questions, listen to podcasts. Curiosity is part of the job.
006
strategy over autopilot
.If you’re just going through the motions, you’re in the wrong place. We expect thought behind every move.

give a shit about the work

work hard, rest hard
.We expect high effort and for you to push yourself, but know when you need to stop. Speak up and take rest seriously.

lead your clients, not the other way around
.We’re not hired to tick boxes, we are paid to guide, advise and direct our clients towards their goals.
013
no cliques
.It’s fine to have your favourites, but it’s not fine tomake anyone feel excluded. Ever.

Make it better,
every time

Celebrate the Wins
