At Nightjar, we hire for attitude and train for skills.

We recognise that new tools, products and systems are always appearing and we're always open to trying out new processes if they help our productivity, efficiency, and happiness.

You'll need to also be flexible and willing to throw out old systems that no longer serve us or our partners.

The Nightjars work in Slack and Asana. These are all intuitive programs which help streamline our workflow and delegate tasks.

You'll be using them daily to communicate and manage your projects.
