Here are 4 reasons why we think you will love working with us:

• Culture of friendliness and inclusivity: We truly care about our people and our work, embracing the diversity of our workforce and ensuring everyone has a sense of belonging.

Here are 4 reasons we are afraid you might not want to join us:

• We operate in a high-feedback environment. You will be required to challenge, be challenged and face challenges. We recognise that this approach is not for everyone.
• Motium is growing. Fast. As such, not all our policies and procedures are shiny and well-polished. We are a work-in-progress and catching up as quick as we can. However, if you find it difficult to work without 100% of the processes outlined, this role might not be for you.
• We are agile, fast, and quick to react when we see problems. We expect everyone to take ownership of their own mistakes, and help deliver a successful, quality resolution.
• We take pride in what we do and aim to deliver highest quality solution possible for the problem. This requires a high level of attention to detail.
