A Quick Note on Email Safety
We care about your candidate experience and want to make sure you feel confident communicating with us. All official emails from our recruiting team will only come from the domains @omc.com —never from generic platforms like Webex. Your first interview will always be with a real person on our team, not an automated system. If something feels off, we encourage you to double-check before replying.
 

Omnicom’s policy requires employees to work in the office for a minimum of three days a week, unless additional in-office days are directed by their agency or manager. Our objective is to increase this requirement over time, and many of our agencies as well as Omnicom’s corporate group already require five days of in-office attendance.

Omnicom is committed to hiring and developing exceptional talent. We agree that talent is uniquely distributed, and we’re focused on developing inclusive teams that can bring the best solutions to everything we do. We strongly believe that celebrating what makes us different makes us better together. Join us—we look forward to getting to know you.
