How does the onboarding process work?

From day one, we’re dedicated to setting you up for success, with purpose and heart. You’ll be paired with a dedicated buddy who ensures you feel not just welcomed, but truly supported every step of the way. Our onboarding starts with an immersive introduction to our business model, structure, and unique culture—alongside a cohort of new joiners who’ll become part of your first bridge-building network.

Once settled, you’ll dive deeper into your team-specific onboarding, exploring the tools, expectations, and goals that will define your role. Through regular check-ins with your buddy, manager, and People Partner, you’ll stay connected, aligned, and empowered to deliver results early on.

For us, hiring is more than just filling a role; it’s about building trust, embracing differences, and finding people who are as excited about shaping the future as we are. Throughout the process, you’ll have space to ask questions, connect with our team, and get a real feel for our culture and how we work. Find out more here.
