We endeavour to support our people to make sure work… well, works for them. 

To that end we are trialling out different ways of working – at the moment, we are remote first, getting together in person in London for key moments and to support connection and collaboration.

We also offer 45days work from anywhere (globally) per year

Diversity and Inclusion are really important to us and that’s why everyone’s welcome at Not On The High Street – whoever they are, whatever their background. 

As part of your application, you’ll be asked to complete an optional demographic survey to help us learn more about who wants to work with us and will only be used to help us figure out how to make our team(s) even more inclusive and attract more brilliant people to join us!

We’ll also ask whether you need us to make any reasonable adjustments to the interview process should you need it and you can answer this question should you choose to in the application phase

We have a DEI focus group as well as affinity groups that have their own budgets and can use this to help serve diversity and inclusion at NOTHS

Good luck!

About Not On The High Street

We are Not On The High Street

Founded in 2006. We believe the big things should be celebrated – hard. Milestone birthdays, mates getting hitched, new pads… But we also love making a big deal about the small things, too.

We’re home to 5,000+ phenomenal small creative businesses that we are proud to call our Partners. So we’re doing all we can to shine a light on these dynamic entrepreneurs, waving the flag for small businesses and generally championing their socks off.

On top of our brilliant Partners, products, and customers (not to mention our incredible team), we have seen some really amazing recent changes. We’ve rebranded (check out the new site and app), have a whole host of new products and as well as that, Leanne Rothwell, with NOTHS for over 10 years, was honoured to take over as CEO to drive the next era at NOTHS.

We are now looking to build on this momentum to drive our business to the next level. And that’s where you come in.

We’re a team of 150 or so who all thrive in roles that make an impact and a difference and we are looking for like-minded people. 

You’re laser-focused when it comes to the task at hand. You’re not afraid to make big decisions and take some risks. You have a positive attitude to learn if things don’t go to plan and re-iterate to get your idea working. You’re a team player willing to lift others up and collaborate. 

If this applies to you then we are the right fit for you, our perks and benefits are at the bottom of the description but if you want to know more about the role itself read on.
