Where are you based and where can I work?

We have offices in London and Hong Kong. We support 100% remote working from many countries across Europe and Asia – just let us know your preference when you apply. All we ask is that you have at least three hours overlap with Hong Kong and London business hours each day. All meetings and company updates happen during this time and anything outside of this is yours to own.

From your first conversation with the Talent Team to your final stage interview takes around 4 weeks on average, though this can vary slightly depending on the time of year. However your talent representative is always on hand to answer your questions and keep you informed. We are of course flexible, if you need us to speed things up then we will do our very best to accommodate.
