Benefits
- Competitive commission and rewards structure: Including our biannual company profit share bonus (eligible after 6 months)
- Flexible working: We’re a remote first firm but typically spend 1-2 days p/w (Wednesdays & Thurs) in our office at Runway East Soho to get some much-needed face time and to eat, drink & have fun!
- Unlimited annual leave: Getting a break from work is important so, as long as you give enough warning, we don’t count holidays.
- Monthly Benefits with Ben: We care about your health and wellbeing so we give you a monthly allowance to go towards it.
- L&D Budget: We want JBM’ers to be continuously learning so everyone has an annual L&D budget – this doesn’t have to be work related!
