Simply Business is an equal opportunity employer. We’re committed to welcoming and helping to grow employees within an inclusive & diverse culture. And that commitment starts with our interview process.
Once you apply, your info will be reviewed in a committee with employees from different levels, teams, and experiences. We pride ourselves on fostering a sense of community, which is only made stronger by each individual at SB, so you’ll have the opportunity to meet a variety of people throughout the process. Get excited!
What’s going on with work from home and return to the office?
At Simply Business, we’ve shifted to a hybrid working model, meaning we have employees working virtually and in the office at any given time. That means our SBers have more choice and greater flexibility to work in a way that’s best for their particular job, their teams, and their lives.
There are times when working together in person is the best way to get things done. We know that taking time for in-person connections in our hubs (that’s what we call our offices) contributes to our community and our culture - it’s what makes SB great and helps us stand out, which is one reason why we were listed on BuiltIn’s Best Places to Work in Boston for 2023! It also helps to accelerate trust, collaboration, and innovation, which in turn leads to better results and customer outcomes. We expect our SBers to connect in their hubs at least four times a month. That said, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, so we expect all SBers and their teams will find the operating rhythm that works best for them.
If you’re wondering what it might be like for you at Simply Business, our Talent Acquisition team is happy to answer any questions.
Most of our interviews will still take place over Zoom; however, depending on the role, there may be the opportunity/expectation to meet members of the team in-person. If it looks like you could be a good fit for the role, we’ll ask you to interview on Zoom first regardless – you’ll need WiFi and a laptop, or a 4G-enabled smartphone. If you don’t have access to either of these, or you need support with your application, get in touch with us at
[email protected].
Please email us with any questions or if you want to pause your application for a bit – we’ll be happy to keep you updated on future opportunities like the one above.
