You’ll also likely have:

• Experience with working in diverse team environments: You’re comfortable collaborating with international teams and adapting to various cultural and professional contexts.

• An operations mindset: You’re naturally organized and enjoy creating efficient processes and solutions.

• Strong attention to detail: You identify and correct small errors to ensure precision and accuracy in a fast-paced and challenging environment.

Benefits & Salary

Your starting salary range is £2,500 to £3,000/month, depending on prior experience and location. There may be flexibility in salary for exceptional candidates with significant experience.

Our benefits include:

• Prioritized health & wellbeing: We provide private medical, vision, and dental insurance. We also offer an allowance for you to spend on your mental health.

• Generous vacation: 25 days’ holiday each year (pro rata for shorter engagements), plus public holidays. 

• Equipment to support your productivity: If needed, we can provide a laptop to enhance your work experience during the internship. The laptop will remain part of our equipment inventory, with options available should you wish to continue using it beyond the internship.

This is a full-time role, but part-time would also be possible for particularly strong candidates. We prefer candidates who can overlap with European timezones, but we’re open to other arrangements for exceptional candidates.
