We help innovative companies access non-dilutive funding to accelerate their growth and increase their impact. We mainly do this by writing winning grants and R&D tax credit applications. In our 13 years, we have secured over £400 million for our clients. 

We have always cared deeply about diversity and inclusion at GrantTree. It's part of why we were founded as a self-managing and fully transparent company.

By being self-managing and operating a system of distributed authority, we have a diverse range of voices involved in all our decisions. In addition, our transparency policy extends to salaries, because we believe that knowing what everyone earns is a way to ensure that pay remains fair (or at least that it can be widely discussed if we get it wrong). 

It's not always easy to avoid blind spots or biases as a small team, and despite already being quite diverse, we'll never stop striving to improve. 

We purposely write job ads with gender neutral or feminine coded language to ensure we get women applicants who can be harder to attract in the tech space. 

Our family-friendly benefits mean that family-oriented people are better able to balance their career with their family life.  

We encourage people to be their whole selves at work. To us, that means sharing any parts of yourself that you want to, be it neurodiversity, sexuality, disability, mental health struggles, political outlook, your side hustle, your passion projects, your preference for cats over dogs, Whatever it is, we're open! 

We're proud of our commitment to be a truly flexible employer. 

Here are GrantTree, we self-manage so you won't find any traditional managers here. Instead, we use a system of distributed decision-making which gives people autonomy to manage their own work. We are all leaders here and you'll be too. 

We are consultants serving UK clients, so we try to be available to them during standard UK office hours. But if your clients are taken care of, there's no reason why you can't adjust your day around life events. Aside from managing the expectations of your team, you don't need anyone's approval. 

As a company with a remote-first approach, our  team can be found working from our lovely co-working space in Shoreditch, or remotely from all over the world. Our staff can work from anywhere as long as their work gets done efficiently and to a high standard. With that said, we are a social bunch and like to get together regularly to celebrate wins, renew coordination, increase collaboration or just to get some face time at the pub. 

We value our employees and offer them excellent benefits including an enhanced and inclusive parental leave policy, discounted private healthcare, Friday afternoons off, and study, charity and "pawternity" leave for your furry best friend.

GrantTree were brilliant throughout their accreditation. Full transparency is always a good sign to us at Flexa and GrantTree were very open to our questions throughout the process. As a fast growing tech scale-up, it can be hard to foster a fully flexible working environment, but Nicky and her team are doing a fantastic job. As such, this is clearly reflected in their Flexa benchmarking scores. It's quite rare to have both scores be so close to one another, and this is positive and a huge win. This not only shows that the company is far more flexible than the average market employer, but that both employer and employee are in complete understanding of the flexible working environment benefits and guidelines.

If there is a job that matches your skillset, I would definitely recommend putting an application forward. GrantTree are leading with flexibility for their employees. They're set to grow fast, so get in while you can!

"I've worked here for years, and the flexibility and freedom you have at GrantTree is like nowhere I've worked before. It can be hard work to manage your own time and autonomy, but it's very much built into the company culture that work can be done anywhere, anytime and that people should be able to bring their whole selves to work. You genuinely feel valued and it's understood that people have personal lives that can sometimes impact the more 'traditional' hours or ways of working." 

We're eliminating the financial obstacles that prevent technology from elevating our lives

Quite simply put, it is a fabulous work environment!

GrantTree really prides themselves on the flexibility they offer (as they should!) The senior management lead by example here and really trust the team to manage their own workload, work location and schedule. Personal circumstances are respected and accommodated for. It is a wonderful place to work!

Amazingly flexible company and has been since I joined 8 yrs ago.

GrantTree is a fantastic company to work for, full of bright and kind people who make you feel welcome from day one.

GrantTree is by far the most flexible environment I have ever had the pleasure of working in.  The autonomous culture empowers all who work here to want to do their best, and there is a general sense of pride to get things done and do them well.  I couldn't be happier!

GrantTree takes self-management and flexibility to a level I've never seen before in any other company that I've worked in.

GrantTree are hands down the best company I have worked for in terms of treating their employees with respect, trust and empathy. They will actively work with you to overcome any issues, professional or personal (should you choose to). You are also given the freedom to achieve the goals in a variety of ways, with management only stepping in to support your function not to discipline lacking areas.

Half-day Fridays is a awesome perk we have here at GrantTree! Having that half day on the Friday arvo is perfect for getting stuck into some life admin before everyone else knocks off for the week, or great for getting a head start on a weekend trip away! Not sure how i could go back to working full Fridays ever again...

GrantTree's culture is fantastic. Everyone is trusted to do their work, everyone's opinion is respected, and everyone has the flexibility to work in a way that allows them to be highly productive while tending to the various demands and obstacles life throws at us. Above all, people are treated like...well...people. Not like units of productivity or machines unneeding of kindness and recuperation. Lots of companies claim to be 'human' and 'inclusive'. Few are. GrantTree, most certainly, is.

There isn't a requirement to be in the office, however there is a London office which has bookable desks should you wish to come in. It's such a lovely space and great location. Work environment is supportive, collaborative and fun. I'm really happy here.
