The smol print
Applicants must have current work authorisation in the UK.

This is a remote role working from home, so you’ll need to be great at managing your own time and communicating online. We work flexibly at smol, within core hours to catch up with your team through channels like Slack and Trello. We regularly meet up to co-work or for meeting days, usually in London, but the team is based all over the UK.
You will be involved in a range of in-person marketing campaigns too, which may call for you to attend photoshoots, host street interviews in different cities and travel to support different activities we have going on across the UK, for example - meeting volunteers for our work with The Hygiene Bank charity. These can change throughout the year, so you will need to be reactive and confident to get involved with this change of scenery and meeting new people.
This role will be Monday to Friday, however you will sometimes be required on evenings or weekends throughout the year to support ad hoc activity online or in person, reflected with time in lieu.
