  • Varied range of regular social activities throughout the year
  • Working from home

    While most of our teams are based in our NYC, London, and Manchester offices, many of our team members regularly work from home. As a result, we operate with a "remote-first" approach, even when we're physically in the office.

    We'll provide reasonable support and all the hardware you need to get started, but we do require that you have the following already in place for a good home working set up :

  • A quiet working space at home where you can consistently take video calls without interruptions
  • An internet connection that supports your participation in video calls and access to our systems and service.
  • Costs Associated with working onsite :

  • For 'local' team members (under 2 hours from the office), a stipend is offered for each day you work on-site. Think of it as our way of easing potential commute related costs (but no need to prove it - this is a perk we offer for days worked onsite, regardless of how you choose to get there).
  • For remote-based team members ('non local'), Spektrix covers all work related travel expenses directly. There is no stipend, but flights, hotels for overnight stays, etc. are paid for through our work travel tool, TravelPerk, and / or reimbursed through an expense report where applicable.
  • Equal opportunities

    Spektrix is an equal opportunities employer. We recruit regardless of race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age or disability status and look to employ from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.

    Confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. Studies show that women do not apply for roles unless they meet 100% of the requirements, whereas men apply when they meet at least 60% of the requirements. At Spektrix, we know that there's no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate. Spektrix is committed to creating an inclusive work environment, where our team members are supported in expressing themselves and delivering their best work. So however you identify and whatever background you bring with you, please apply if this is a role that would make you excited to come into work every day.

    Diversity in the workplace is hugely important to our working environment and to enable both individuals and Spektrix to thrive. By valuing each person's differences we enable each person to contribute their unique experiences, strengths and viewpoints. Workplace diversity is something we aim to achieve and maintain at Spektrix, and we are pursuing a workforce that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve and work in. We aim to reflect this diversity in all departments and at all levels of seniority in the business, right up to the board.

    In an effort to help us reduce bias, please do not include a photo on your resume or application.
