For Employers

The Woman Your Business Has Been Waiting For

She has run the room before. She has carried the decision nobody wanted to make, and made it well. Thirty years of judgement, and she is ready for what you are building.

Beckon Her What A Lois Brings

Why Here

You Advertise For Average. You Beckon For Brilliant.

To advertise is to shout at a crowd and hope. To beckon is to call one person towards you with your own hand.

You do not need more applications. You need the one woman who walks in and changes what happens in the room — and she is not answering a listing that could have been written by anybody, for anybody.

LOIS is the only room in the country built entirely for women of fifty and over, and it is the only place they are looking back.

One Condition Of Being Here

The Money Is
On The Card.

What the work pays sits on the face of every role here. It is how she decides whether to spend an evening on you, and it is the reason the women in this room answer at all.

What A Role Costs

One Credit. One Role. Live Until She Is Found.

Nothing here expires at thirty days while you are still deciding, and credits last two years — so you hire on your own timing rather than ours.

$159

One Role

$159 a role. A single role, written properly and live until she is found.

$1,300

Ten Roles

$130 a role. The step most studios take first, and it pays for itself on the second hire.

$3,000

Twenty Five Roles

$120 a role. For a year of hiring, held in one place and drawn down as you need it.

$5,250

Fifty Roles

$105 a role. Where an agency starts, and where the price per role begins to fall away.

$9,000

One Hundred Roles

$90 a role. A hundred women found, at the best price anybody sees on this page.

The whole of it, in plain words

Nobody Here Writes A Listing

Introducing Our Unique Role Atelier™.

No job description has ever known how to ask for energy like this. So send us the role as you have it, and the Atelier asks you seven questions instead — what needs to become possible, what will feel different by six months, what she can own and decide and change.

The same facts come out the other side, in words a woman actually wants to answer. Every role here goes through it, so the women answer knowing exactly what they are walking into. The invitation is what makes her cross a city for it.

A New Kind Of Woman.

A New Kind Of Role.

A New Kind Of Invitation.

Ferngrove Studios

Head Of Operations

Hybrid Melbourne, VIC $145,000 – $165,000 + super

01

The Next Move

We have outgrown the way we work. Ferngrove has doubled in three years, and the systems that carried us here are held together by memory and goodwill.

What we keep telling ourselves

That we will fix it after this next project. We have said that for two years, and we say it again every time somebody leaves.

02

The Difference You Will Make

Six months in, the studio runs without anyone holding their breath. Our founder stops being the bottleneck on decisions that were never hers to make.

How we will actually know

Ana stops sending messages at eleven at night. That is the measure, and everybody here would recognise it.

04

The Room To Move

You own the operating budget and you decide how it is spent. You can change any process you inherit without asking permission, and you hire and shape your own team.

And where it stops

Creative direction stays with Ana and client pricing stays with our commercial lead. We would rather tell you that now than have you find it out in March.

05

The Deal

Salary
$145,000 – $165,000 + super
Hours
38 a week, and we mean it
Pattern
Hybrid · four days in the studio, Fridays wherever suits you
Start
February, or whenever you are free
Flexibility, honestly

Two of us leave at three on a Thursday and nobody has ever once asked why. You will not be explaining yourself here.

What is demanding

Production weeks run hot, roughly six a year, and we say so before you ask.

06

The Place You Are Joining

Twenty-six people, eleven years old, independent, and intending to stay that way.

What we do well

Thursday lunch, every week, all twenty-six of us at one table with the phones face down. It has survived three office moves and one very bad year.

Where we are struggling

Our finance function is half-built and it shows. You would be walking into both, with our hands held up about it.

07

How You Will Know It Is Yours

You have run operations somewhere that outgrew its systems, and you can still remember what it cost. You are sick of being the only person who writes anything down. You find the difficult conversation easy and the small talk exhausting, and you would rather fix a process once than be thanked for rescuing it eleven times.

Never asked for here

You will never be asked for a degree, a certification, or an unbroken run of years. Two of our best people came back after a long gap and neither has ever been asked to account for it.

08

The Invitation

If you bring calm to complexity, see what matters and enjoy making a good business work even better, we would love to hear from you.

Who reads it

Ana does, herself, and she answers every one. No forms, no portal, and nothing you write disappears into a system.

Once Your Role Is Up

Go And Read Them Yourself.

Every woman here wrote her own Portrait and chose what of it a business may read. Put one role in front of them and all of it opens to you — and you can write to any one of them by hand.

Nobody is scored, nobody is ranked, and no machine decides who you should be talking to.

The Women Of Lois

Melbourne, First

Come In Before Anybody Pays.

LOIS opens in Melbourne. The founding businesses list free while we fill this city with roles worth answering — six months, unlimited — then half price on the first pack of credits, then the same ladder everybody climbs.

There is no separate loyalty price afterwards and there never will be. The ramp ends and everybody lands in the same place.

10 places left in Melbourne.
