Office/remote working
Currently, the majority of Kroo is working fully remotely. Working remotely has changed many of our lives for the better and we are behind in continuing the benefits of flexibility once restrictions are lifted. At the same time, we have a beautiful office in Manchester, which, when used for the right things, can be a useful and powerful tool. Currently, we see a blended model of working 1-2 days a week in the office, so candidates that are able to travel in occasionally are the best fit for our current working practices. Please note: Our ambition is to be a truly 24/7 customer-focused bank. In order to achieve this, you'll be working shifts across 5 days (Monday - Sunday) and 37.5 hours per week. The shifts will be provided well in advance, but typically range between 6am - 10pm.
