    **What working here will be like:**

    We are a small, fast-growing team so you will have a high degree of ownership and accountability, and you will be directly exposed to all areas of the business.

    We are a start-up, so don't have a lot of structures and processes. Things change quickly and we acknowledge when we get things wrong and change direction.

    We are a diverse business, from many nationalities and backgrounds.

    We really value our people. We have a flexible & remote work environment and a great benefits package & pension scheme
