This is a 100% remote working role. Your immediate supervisor would be based out of our Boston Office in the US; however, you’ll be able to operate day-to-day in your local time zone. You must be set up to operate effectively from your own workspace and be comfortable with fully remote / home-based working. Brafton’s core business has been heavily remote-focused since well before the COVID-19 pandemic; as such, the business is extremely agile and well-adapted to such working practices.
