Job Description

About now, you’d expect us to tell you what Amplience does. Well, we don’t do the expected. Instead, we want to tell you what we believe in: Freedom. Because Freedom is everything that Amplience stands for. It’s in the way we work, the way we think, the way we empower our customers. And if you choose to join us (we’d be honored) you’ll have the Freedom to work however and wherever you want. Oh, and in case you were wondering, Amplience is a commerce experience platform that takes the heavy lifting out of digital content, giving you the Freedom to create digital experiences without limits. We already work with over 400 leading retails brands and counting, including the likes of Crate & Barrel, Traeger Grills, Ulta Beauty, Coach, Otto Group, GAP, Curry’s, Argos and The Very Group. We’ve got over 200 employees across the world, with $180 million of investment behind us and huge, exciting growth plans ahead. And we’d love you to come along for the ride.

The FlexScore® is the result of a rigorous 2-step verification of a company’s flexibility

First we assess the flexibility options Amplience provides and then we anonymously survey a statistically significant proportion of their employees to make sure Amplience is as flexible as they say they are. Our assessment is based on the six key elements of flexibility: location, hours, autonomy, benefits, role modelling and work-life balance.

We ask the hard questions so you don’t have to.
