Remote options? Absolutely. We trust you to manage your time and your responsibilities in a way that works best for you. Why? We want to build a platform for high performance and career progression that also encourages life experiences.

• Ambitious and self-motivated to be a future leader (biller or management)
• Strong communication skills and ability to build lasting relationships
• Passion for Tech for Good
• Someone who shares Owen Thomas’ values; balancing purpose, profit and planet
