Benefits

We’re not interested in empty perks like having a coffee culture. We do have coffee – if you join our central team in Cape Town, you could find yourself roped into coffee and snack challenges if you visit the office, but you could just as easily be taking your morning coffee at Roots cafe, high in the mountains of northern Thailand if you work on a base. Here’s what our global team enjoys:

• Half days on the first Friday of each quarter
• Collaborative, flexible culture
• Transparency – hear directly from the CEO consistently
• Social fund
• Training fund
• Unlimited opportunities for growth across our globe
• We laugh a lot, genuinely care about and support each other, and do the occasional dress-up
