Working environment
We primarily work remotely with a strong emphasis on efficient processes to ensure high-quality work across asynchronous teams. However, we recognise the importance of sharing knowledge and building relationships with one another and find this easier to do when we spend time together in-person in Oxford or London. Therefore, we host regular team days from these locations.
Exceptional candidates who are willing to regularly (~1/mo) travel to the UK for in-person meetings will be considered. This generally restricts us to candidates based within ~3 hour travel time to London.
As a team, we value:
- Concise and engaging communication - we communicate clearly to work effectively in a remote setting.
- Pride in high-quality work - we pay attention to detail and deliver to the highest standard.
- A strategic approach - we think critically and creatively about complex issues. We identify the underlying patterns and leverage them to develop effective strategies
- Collaborative co-creation - we are open to diverse perspectives, bounce ideas off of each other, and build upon each other's strengths.
