Location & working pattern
Smarter Web works remotely as a company, so this role is primarily remote. There will be occasional hybrid working — especially at the beginning and during onboarding — sometimes on site at the Squarebird agency (High Street, Nailsea). Occasional travel to events and meetings is also part of the role.
This is a great progression opportunity in one of the UK's most exciting companies.
