Weekly trainings Power Hours 💜 Access & Belonging (Equal Opportunity) We hire for impact and potential, not pedigree. We welcome applications from people with non-linear careers, career breaks, caregiving gaps, and those changing fields. No discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender identity/expression, marital or family status, pregnancy, neurodivergence, race/ethnicity, religion/belief, gender, sexual orientation, or any other protected ground. Assessment fairness: We anchor on evidence of outcomes (what you shipped, moved, or influenced). We actively de-bias by using structured rubrics, multiple assessors, and blind screening most of the time (we won’t know your name, gender, or personal info until the interview stage). 📬 Application Clarity No cover letter required. Apply with your LinkedIn or upload your CV in English. You may be asked a few short, relevant questions. Total candidate time investment: ~1.30–2 hours end-to-end. 🧩 Hiring Stages (What to Expect, Why & How Long) 1. CV / LinkedIn Screen — Signal check vs must-haves

Teamtailor anonymisation: profiles are reviewed without relying on names/personal identifiers. Meeting recorder (e.g., Talka.ai): may be used to capture interviews so we can focus on the conversation. ChatGPT: may be used to turn interview notes/transcripts into clear, structured summaries. Important: every application is reviewed by a human, and no decision or rejection is made by AI. If recording is used, we’ll be transparent and (where required) ask for consent. ⏱️ Speed & Communication Decision: within 4 weeks of your application. Updates: weekly if the process runs longer. Scheduling: interviews between 10:00–16:00 CET (flexible across Europe). Feedback: from the Case stage onwards, you’ll always receive written or verbal feedback - what went well, and what to strengthen next time. Apply To This Job
