Why work for us?

We focus on steady, sustainable growth, putting purpose (to make parent’s lives easier) before profit. We expect great performance, agility and collaboration in every role; cross-team working with talented, clever people is the best part of life at Mumsnet. Most importantly we’re looking for candidates with a growth mindset - we know everyone makes mistakes, the important thing is to learn from them and to share your learnings.

We embraced flexible and home working a long time before COVID, and we care much more about outputs than hours on the clock. We don't only want to hire the best people: we want to retain them. If you need some flexibility, let us know and we’ll do our best.

We’re committed to diversity and quality (see our policy ) and we think we’re second to none in the all-round support we offer to parents and carers at work (see our parental leave policies ). Working for Mumsnet means never having to pretend you don’t have a family or other commitments, and we promise never to keep you away from a school appointment.

We have a healthy line-up of sandwich lunches, knowledge sessions, book clubs, yoga sessions, monthly socials and sports teams, as well as an unhealthy line-up of staff parties at Kentish Town’s excellent pubs and restaurants, and McDonald’s deliveries for the mornings after.

WFH

We’ve continued to embrace flexibility and remote working to the max. You’ll only be required to be in the office two days a week (although you can go in more often if you wish). We’re flexible with hours and happy to accommodate personal commitments like picking the kids up from school. We’re more interested in output than presenteeism, so if you need to move things around, we can probably work it out.
