Job description

A little bit about us…

We make life more affordable.

Pion produces award-winning technology for the biggest retailers on the planet, connecting them with the youth market. We’re always innovating and driving our SHARP values to offer new solutions that satisfy our consumers, drive ROI for our clients and create an empowering workplace for our employees.

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion at Pion

At Pion, inclusivity, diversity, and respect are at our core. We value accountability and are fully transparent about our ED&I efforts—our commitments and internal stats are open for all to see. Our culture is shaped by our people, and it’s all part of life at Pion.

Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet 60% of the requirements, women and those in underrepresented groups tend to only apply when they tick every box. We don’t think you should have to tick every box. We value your uniqueness, and it goes without saying that all applications are welcome, even if you don’t think you fit the criteria.

If you need any adjustments to support you with your application, just drop us an email at [e-mail].
