Every week we ship an email newsletter featuring the region’s most exciting career opportunities. We’ve lovingly called it This Week in Jobs (aka TWIJ). Below is this week’s edition; it’s meant to live in your inbox. Sign up for the newsletter here.

Starting April 1, we’re evolving the jobs newsletter. No more listings, no more bullet points, just a carefully curated mood board, a Spotify playlist, and a single weekly affirmation to guide your career journey. Jobseekers will also notice a new “Browse by Mood” button, designed to help you filter opportunities by vibe alone.

The thinking is simple: work is no longer just what you do, it’s how it feels. Why reduce a role to responsibilities and requirements when you could understand it through color palettes and energy?

…Okay, fine. On the eve of April Fools’ Day, we couldn’t resist. Enjoy this week’s job listings!
