WORKING ENVIRONMENT
Modern Tech Stack
We use the latest tools, hardware and methodologies across our teams. We’re always on the look-out for new ways of working and ensure everyone is setup with enough hardware firepower to excel, Windows or Mac.
Agility & Openness for Ideas
We actively encourage the entire team to share their ideas, with that in mind we regularly adopt and implement suggestions across the company, you’re the specialist here!
Operating with the agility of a high growth start-up, alongside the support you can expect from a larger organisation means we encourage quick decision making and a responsive, adaptive culture.
Outstanding People
We believe that great teams are built by a mixture of personality and skills, we’re an international team with more than 175 people onboard and we’re looking for people with a passion for what they do - just be yourself!
Flexibility
We’re a remote-first company and support 100% remote working, usually you will be starting your day at 10am GMT, but to best serve our US clients, we are looking for people who can work at least one late shift (1:30pm-10pm GMT) per week.
So, some days you’ll need to be flexible to work later if there’s a key delivery to a US client, but any time can be taken back.
Joining us means becoming an integral part of the whole team no matter where we’re physically working, we have a number of initiatives to create a team environment regardless of geographic location.
SALARY
Up to £27,000 per year, depending on experience and skills.

RECRUITMENT PROCESS
There is only one recruitment step - a meeting with Nina our Head of Content Production and James our Video Editing & Motion Graphics Manager, (60 minutes via MS Teams). During the meeting, they get to know you a bit better and try to understand if you’d be a good fit for the role, and at the same time answer all your questions.
