We operate a hybrid working model, and office attendance is required for 40% of your contracted hours.

We think the ASA is a great place to work, with a fantastic office in Shoreditch, London. We have a culture that’s open, friendly, and collaborative, with a real focus on making the right decisions in the right way and learning while we’re doing it.
