As the Talent Brand Guy at Tibber, I combine my creativity and expertise in marketing and branding to position the company as the employer of choice in the sustainability and green tech sectors. With over five years of experience in employer branding and recruitment marketing, I have a proven track record of crafting and executing compelling brand strategies that attract and engage top talent.
At Tibber, I work with a cross-functional team of talent acquisition, brand marketing, and design professionals to create engaging videos, photography, and digital design that showcase the company's vision, culture, and impact.

I also leverage social media, public relations, and candidate experience to amplify our brand message and reach a wider audience.
