Careers at Genie Ventures
Working at Genie
Genie Ventures is made up of distinct brands and teams working towards different goals, but we are united by our behaviours and principles in one Genie family.
We have to continuously change and grow so that we can continue to thrive and make an impact. Our work culture is therefore built around change, experimentation, diversity and autonomy. We want everyone to feel that they are in the right place and are making a difference.
We require many skillsets to grow our business, including data, technology, marketing, content and business operations. Most importantly, we're looking for people who are smart, who want to learn, who get things done, and who have a great attitude to colleagues.
Making the difference
One of our Genie principles is to create an environment where we can be our authentic selves. This means we are looking for people who bring something different, and we will adjust our ways of working to enable this.
We have a highly inclusive and empowering culture with a workforce of different backgrounds and experiences. We value diversity, equity and inclusion and strive always to create equal opportunities and develop good working relationships between different people. We make every effort to eliminate unfair discrimination which starts with how we bring new Genies into our business.

Great Place to Work
Genie Ventures is a great company to work for; but then we would say that, wouldn’t we?
We're certified as a Great Place To Work® (more info), and are in listed in the Best Workplaces in Advertising, Media and Marketing.
In recent times we've also won The Cambridge News Business Awards Employer of the Year Award; the Workingmums.co.uk Top Employer Award, and were a finalist for the Amazon Growing Business Awards Employer of the Year and the British Small Business Awards Small Business of the Year.
We’ve achieved this by developing a unique Genie culture based on staff development and trust, where our Genies are encouraged to learn and develop in a supportive yet ambitious environment.
And we’ve managed to maintain this wide-eyed and fearless start-up mentality despite huge growth in the size of our business - both staff numbers and revenue.
