- The position is fully remote with some occasional face-to-face time with colleagues, particularly the Executive Director and Operations Director.
- The UK is the preferred location due to ease of travel and contracting, but we will also consider exceptional applicants located in Belgium and the Netherlands.
- The successful applicant must be based in a time zone within one hour of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
- Being within a four-hour train journey of London is strongly preferred to facilitate travel and in-person collaboration, though we will consider exceptional candidates outside this range.
- While we offer some flexibility for you to work away from home base, this will need to be coordinated with travel of other colleagues, may depend on timezone changes and/or be limited by legal contracting constraints.
- You must have the right to work in your location. You will be employed in that country. SteelWatch is unable to support any visa application process. Work environment/Travel
- Working hours are flexible, but to facilitate collaboration, the core coordination window is 08:00-17:00 GMT/BST, Monday-Friday and you should be reasonably accessible during this window for meetings and coordination purposes. Work may occasionally be required outside of this standard time frame to meet deliverables.
- You will have the flexibility to adjust your weekly schedule to balance out those hours and fit into other commitments.
- Occasional travel will be required to collaborate with the team, including:
- Annual full team retreat (once per year, may be in Asia, Europe or elsewhere) - essential.
- Additional travel for events and face-to-face time with the team as needed.
- Face-to-face time with other colleagues may not be frequent, but it is essential. If you are constrained in your ability or permissions to travel, please discuss this before investing in an application.
- We pride ourselves on building a collaborative team of different cultures and working styles. Team members embrace the flexibility and learning curve of a start-up, and adapt to supporting each other as priorities arise.
