      📣 Mission & Purpose
      Zinc's relentless focus on specific mission - and the opportunity to impact major social & environmental challenges - creates a hugely motivating work environment.

      📖 Opportunities to learn
      Zinc's culture of autonomy offers its employees the trust and backing to prove what they can do. That - together with the constant events, workshops, shared learning resources and personal coaching - supports an environment with learning and personal development at its heart.

      👩‍👧‍👧 Team members
      No conversation with a Zinc team member is ever boring! There are such diverse talents and interests in the team, meaning you can speak to a climate technology expert or behavioural scientist one moment, a fintech entrepreneur or serial founder next, and end the day in a drama therapy workshop led by a colleague. They are such inspiring people - and super thoughtful and fun, too.

      Overall

      Zinc is one of those (very) rare workplaces which combine meaningful work, personal development and recognition, and an inspiring, fun and support culture all at once. It's a privilege to be part of the team.
