We recognise our people are the best thing about Red Badger and that a truly diverse workplace where people are free to be themselves is essential for great culture and great outcomes. If you like solving difficult problems, working with great people and making a real impact, join us and become a Badger.

At Red Badger, our purpose is to make a positive impact on the world around us. Our mission is to transform blue-chips into next generation digital product organisations. We believe in creating opportunities for all. We benefit from diversity. That said, we’re far from perfect – we want to be more diverse and representative. Join us and help make that happen.

We make sure our team is well looked after with generous salaries and a great benefits package which includes:

• Health: As well as enhanced sick pay, we also offer private medical cover provided by Vitality. We have a cycle-to-work scheme, which offers a loan of up to £1,000 to lease you a bike and accessories. Our HQ office also has great bike storage and shower facilities. We have ad-hoc yoga and other classes and there’s always a supply of free fruit in our kitchens. In the worst-case scenario, we’ve got several benefits designed to help you through difficult times, including confidential legal advice and counselling through our Employee Assistance Programme, death in service cover, permanent health insurance and critical illness cover.
• Finance: From day one you’ll be auto-enrolled on our pension scheme and on passing probation you’ll be able to opt-in to our enhanced scheme, which offers an employer contribution of 5% of your salary. You can take out an interest-free loan to help with the cost of travel to and from work. While we don’t believe in performance-related bonuses, we do have a generous referral bonus scheme.
• Professional Development: Each year you’ll receive a training budget of £2,000 to spend on your professional development. You’ll also be invited to attend various in-house training events and lunch n learns. Our HQ office has a well-stocked library, which you are welcome to borrow from or add to.
• Work-Life Balance: In addition to bank holidays, we offer 24 holidays per year, which incrementally increases to 28 days after six years service. Starting at 26 weeks and depending on your length of service, you’ll be eligible for either our enhanced - 12 weeks full pay - or our enhanced plus - 16 weeks full pay - maternity or shared parental leave. New fathers can also take enhanced paternity leave in addition to shared parental leave. Once a month a masseuse comes into the office to give at-desk massages. We also have several well-being programmes and talks throughout the year.

When you join, check out our social calendar to see what’s going on - from dodgeball to pub quizzes to ring making to diversity lunches, you are invited to take part in as much or as little as you would like. And don’t forget our two annual parties! Yes, you can join our Give As You Earn scheme to make tax-free charity donations, and Red Badger will also match your donation! We’re proud of our culture and we want to consciously grow it as the business expands, join our monthly Culture Committee to help shape our culture conversations. We pride ourselves on our charity partnerships and we encourage Badgers to get involved in our charity initiatives by joining our Social Value taskforce.

We respect and care for each other and strive for a truly diverse workplace where everyone has the freedom to be their authentic selves and feel safe. We’re part of the Stonewall Diversity Champion programme to continuously develop structured and systematic policies and practices that reflect our world. In addition to supporting the LGBTQ+ community, we’re focused on applying what we learn to all areas of equality including ethnicity, gender, disability and social mobility.
