How we work together

We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office‑based teams, this means working in‑person at least 3 days per week.

Onsite roles require full‑time presence in the company's facilities.

Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company's main facilities, generally at the customers' or suppliers' locations.

This is a field role.
