Our team of 70+ people is based across five continents and speaks over 10 languages. We have diverse expertise, from medicine to environmental health to international law.
Our work schedule is flexible. Some of the team work 9-5:30, and some adjust their daily schedule around school pick-up. We value work-life balance and rarely contact team members outside their work hours.
