HOW WE WORK

We have adapted a forward-thinking ‘Ways of Working’ framework, which sets out (amongst other things) the opportunities for Geniuses to work flexibly and on working holidays. Whilst Technology at Genius are remote first, for this role most of your stakeholders are in departments who spend 2-3 days a week in the London office, and you will need to be able to collaborate with them in person as and when required. Occasional international travel may be required

Our employees are empowered to stretch the boundaries of what’s achievable, always reaching further and pushing the edges to see what gives. We collaborate, we innovate, and we celebrate. We will continue to grow as an organisation and continue to invest in our highly talented and diverse team of Geniuses.
