About Us
Broadband Genie is the UK’s broadband comparison expert, on a mission to take the stress out of broadband for every UK household. Building on an impressive 18-year legacy, we have strategic relationships with all of the UK’s major broadband providers, including Sky, BT, TalkTalk and more.

Our sights are firmly set on becoming a top tier comparison site to rival other players in the space.
Broadband Genie is part of Genie Ventures, a group of fast-growth digital marketing companies based in Cambridge. As such we benefit from the culture, Executive leadership and shared services of this larger group of over 60 employees. Genie operates a hybrid model, with a mix of remote and in-person working. Our face-to-face time is primarily at Genie’s office hub in Cambridge, although this role may also need to occasionally visit clients, partners and other contacts across the UK.
Cambridge Office Hub / Remote Distributed First working
Genie believes that a distributed team is a more powerful model than the traditional office. It increases autonomy and productivity by allowing us to choose how, where and when we do our most effective work. We also believe that face-to-face remains the best format for certain types of work, and is important in building meaningful relationships with colleagues, customers and other partners, therefore there will be occasions where employees will need to attend face to face meetings on request (with appropriate notice).
We are proud to be a certified Great Place to Work!
