No job is too small.
Like all of us at Blackbird, you're happy to roll up your sleeves and do the task at hand.

Things move fast in Phoebe's world, so our preference is for someone who can split the 0.5 FTE load across at least four weekdays (for example, working 10am - 2pm each day).
There is flexibility to work from home for one day per week.Working at BlackbirdWe believe that building a diverse and inclusive team is critical to Blackbird's success.

In addition, we offer IVF, adoption and surrogacy leave.
We also continue to pay superannuation and vest carried interest for up to 12 months of parental leave, and offer a supportive return-to-work policy to help with the ramp back.Learning & Development Budget: Our team is hungry to continuously learn and you'll receive a budget to spend on books, conferences, training, coaching and courses relating to your profession.Wellbeing: We think in decades not days.
To support our Blackbirds over the long haul we offer a range of holistic wellbeing benefits including a monthly healthy living allowance, 24/7 access to wellbeing support, a home office allowance, personal kit-kat days, and moreUnplugged weekends: We work hard without letting work get in the way of life.
We've implemented no Slack or emails on weekends, so you can switch off and enjoy yourself.Connection: While being big fans of a fully distributed workforce, we value our vibe and time to connect online and IRL through team and company offsites, monthly social activities, weekly lunches and our many social clubs (#fun-manis, #fun-fantasybookclub, #bb-craft just to name a few
