About you

We’re people without borders — without judgement or prejudice, too. We want to work with the best people, no matter their background. So if you’re passionate about learning new things and keen to join our mission, you’ll fit right in.

Also, qualifications aren’t that important to us. If you’ve got great experience, and you’re great at articulating your thinking, we’d like to hear from you.

And because we believe that diverse teams build better products, we’d especially love to hear from you if you’re from an under-represented demographic.

A self starter, taking initiative and keeping relevant partners in the loop
Possess strong analytical, assessment and problem solving skills
Have the ability to contextualise and build a narrative around your work
Open to feedback, great at implementing it back into your work
Interested and familiar with technology and digital products

What you get back

Lots of team activities
Salary from £28,000 (pro-rata)
Solve real customer problems with data
Fun offices with social activities - have a sneak peak of life in our London office!
The potential of securing a graduate position for 2024

And because we believe that diverse teams build better products, we’d especially love to hear from you if you’re from an under-represented demographic.

Also, where and what you studied isn’t important to us. If you’ve got great experience, the right skills for the role and you’re great at articulating your thinking, we’d like to hear from you.
