We’re looking for somebody with:

Additional info
The role is primarily office-based, but there is an opportunity to work from home for 2-3 days a week, to be decided at the company’s discretion.
We also have an extremely friendly four-legged chief morale officer in the office and so candidates will need to be comfortable working in the proximity of a cute and at times productivity-lowering dog.
