The kind of work that we do also requires creative thinking; were entrepreneurial problem-solvers, so you need to be curious about the world and able to think outside the box. And finally, because we believe that every great proposition fulfils a customer need or solves a customer problem, you need to be deeply empathetic.

Were looking for people from all backgrounds. If you think you can bring something to the work described above, get in touch. Undergraduate degrees are a nice-to-have, but it doesnt matter what you studied, and if you did something interesting instead of going to university, wed love to hear from you too.
