You’ll be based predominantly at our Head Office in London (SE1) with some flexibility to work from home as needed. We’d prefer full-time candidates based in London but we’re open to part-time candidates as well for the right person.

The salary range for this role is £40,000 – 60,000 per annum WTE, depending on experience.

This is our most wide-ranging and business critical role. We’re looking for someone who is willing/able to work smart, work hard and do whatever is required to push us forward. While we know we’re asking for a lot right now, the role will evolve as the company grows and serves as an excellent springboard for those interested in eventually leading key areas of our business.
