Our mission is focused on doing good beyond profit, which for us means we seek out opportunities for our people to share in our success and that we give back to the communities and people within which we work. We’re growing our team in Poland and want to be upfront about how this role is structured. As we don't yet have a legal entity in Poland, we work with an Employer of Record (EOR) or umbrella company to onboard talent in the region. This means the role is offered on a fixed term basis via an international contractor agreement — and is fully remote.
