Diversity and inclusion

We’re aware that factors like gender, race, and socioeconomic background can affect people’s willingness to apply for roles for which they meet some but not all the suggested attributes. We’d especially like to encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to express interest.

There’s no such thing as a “perfect” candidate. If you’re on the fence about applying because you’re unsure whether you’re qualified, we’d encourage you to apply.

If you require any adjustments to the application process, such as accessibility accommodations, additional preparation time, or other, please contact hello@impact-ops.org. We’re happy to support your needs and adjust the application process.

Your starting salary range is £40,000 to £55,000, 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, and up to 2 weeks’ paid sick leave. We also offer a generous allowance for you to spend on your mental health.
• Flexible working: You’re generally free to set your own schedule (with some overlapping hours with colleagues as needed). We’ll cover a remote workspace outside your home if you need one.
• Generous vacation: 25 days’ holiday each year, plus public holidays. We encourage you to use the full allowance.
• Professional development opportunities: We offer a generous allowance each year for professional development. We build in opportunities for career growth through on-the-job learning, increasing responsibility, and role progression pathways.

• Global team retreats: As a remote team we hold in-person staff retreats twice a year, to work on our plans and build strong working relationships.

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.

We’re able to sponsor visas in the UK, so let us know if you require work authorization.
