Working Details
This is a full-time role ( hours per week), typically working from 2:00pm-10:30pm from Monday to Friday to cover our global clients.
We’re ideally looking for someone in/around Edinburgh, though we’re open to the possibility of this being a remote role (as long as you're in the UK). We don't mandate required office time, but we find that most of the team in Edinburgh enjoy working from home 2-3 days a week, and come into our office to connect with each other, make use of space, and for meetings.
