😎 Autonomy
People at Hubbub have lots of autonomy to manage projects, room to be creative and many chances to tip one's toes into different areas and types of work.
👻 Transparency
I value the transparency of how big decisions are made, the salary bands, how promotions will be considered, and what have been discussed at board meetings.
🏖 Flexibility
The team can work from home, outside London and there are chances for people to work remotely overseas for an extended period of time (to be agreed among the team).
Overall
Hubbub cares about your personal development and growth. You get to work and make friends with great colleagues, work on projects that make a difference in the communities, explore your creative potential and other talents. - ES

📣 Mission & Purpose
The big driver – such an important and inspiring mission and purpose that is weaved through everything we do. A world where everyone makes choices that are good for the environment.
🏖 Flexibility
One of the biggest benefits, built out of a culture of trust, collaboration and autonomy. From work hours to locations, striking the perfect balance between the freedom of flexible working and feeling a part of a productive, collaborative team.
👩👧👧 Team members
Nothing beats the people – the friendliest, passionate, most creative bunch of people who make the weekdays something we look forward to. Modelling a flat hierarchy and an inclusive workplace, each member can feel valued and supported.
Overall
Incredible place to work. An example to a majority of the organisations out there, that you can balance your purpose, people and the planet while maintaining a financially healthy organisation.

🏖 Flexibility
Hubbub is a very accommodating workplace and it's willingness and ability to adapt to change, particularly regarding how and when work gets done is wonderful.
Working remotely really helps to achieve a work-life balance for employees with caring responsibilities but also contributes to greater productivity.
📖 Opportunities to learn
Apart from regular meetings to share learnings from projects and work situations there are sessions on hot topics with guest-speakers. Overall it feels like an organisation which supports and encourages the individual and the organisation to grow and constantly seek for opportunities to do better.
📣 Mission & Purpose
Hubbub's mission is to create a positive environmental change so that everybody can be inspired to live in a way that is good for the environment by raising awareness, nudge behaviours and shape systems. Hubbub does this with knowledge and playfulness and really - what is there not to like and get mightily involved?
Overall
A fantastic environment to work in, to grow and to feel part of a team for the greater good.
