We are based in London. After two years of operating completely remotely during COVID, we are now operating a hybrid regime where we have an office near Holborn tube station which is available to anyone who wants to work there. We also have occasional team days where everyone meets face to face and days where people work heads down from home, communicating with colleagues using Slack and Zoom.

We are committed to having a truly diverse team where everyone is encouraged to be their authentic selves.
