Life at PlotBox: Is it for you?
We want to be honest about our environment so you can decide if we are the right fit:
We are a scaling company. Sometimes things aren't neatly mapped out; you should be comfortable navigating that.

We work a 40-hour week with flexible hours. We just ask that you’re in (office or online) during our core hours of 10 am - 4 pm.
This role is based in our Ballymena office. We work 2 days per week in the office to facilitate face-to-face collaboration.
We provide a safe environment for feedback to help you grow—taking it on board is up to you!
Everyone brings something to the table; all voices are heard and respected.
