POSITION BENEFITS:

• You can work from anywhere. No moving involved. If you’re happy where you are, stay there. If you’re unhappy, move somewhere new. This position will go with you. (If you want to spend a month working from the Italian countryside or in a Scottish pub, more power to you.)
• You are part of a team of awesome people. We want everyone to have a voice and participate in our development and growth.
• We encourage you to try new things. It’s all about co-creation. So if you have other skills you want to share with clients, or skills you want to develop, that’s something we can definitely discuss once the major components of the position are moving smoothly.
