Salary details: Competitive
The salary is split, whilst in India you would earn an excellent professional salary for India, whilst in the UK or Europe you would earn a competitive salary for your geography. Your salary in India will give you the purchasing power to afford an brilliant lifestyle there, well beyond the equivalent lifestyle possible for the vast majority of UK graduate positions in the UK.
We are looking for someone who is not 'after the money' at this early stage in their career, but who is looking to work directly on the greatest problem of our times, all the while gaining experience and exposure that will eventually prove peerless in their lives, professionally and personally. Many of our ex-colleagues have returned to the UK into mid-tier positions at leading organisations, effectively bypassing the company graduate programs.
Location details:
At the start of the position you may well be working remotely from the UK, or elsewhere. Eventually you would likely move for 6 months - 2 years to Delhi, where our HQ is based. You may be required to travel through California and Canada for market events and conferences. We want people to spend time in our HQ to ramp up quickly and contribute to our company energy, forge relationships that will set them up well for collaboration when they return home.
In Delhi, you would be provided with comfortable and convenient accommodation - serviced, cleaned, and cooked for by a maid. You will also be able to travel and work flexibly around India during your employment, you may well travel with some of your friendly local colleagues, and see their home states through locals' eyes - an invaluable experience.
Start date details: Flexible - for the right candidate.
Initially, we prefer people to start part-time work during their course, either during term-time (for masters) or during the holidays. Then when the course concludes you go full-time and look to come to Delhi.
We can support those doing Master's theses: we give you access to data and our network for research, you generate your thesis and a value-adding InSight Report for us on an aligned topic.
