Wor

k Your WayPermutive trusts you to manage your time and deliver results. Our hybrid model allows you to choose where you work best, whether in your own productive space or our London (Farringdon) or New York (Union Square) offices. That said, none of us work alone; we are part

of a team.
To foster collaboration and connection, teams in these locations come together in person at least once a week and are encouraged to benefit from being in our offices to meet with teams more often. Commercial and customer-facing teams are encouraged to embrace in-person interactions to build lasting relationships with clients and

colleagues.
Every Permutive employee gets together in person at the company's Annual Kick Off for a week in February. Each year's event promises to be an exciting opportunity for us to come together, reconnect with colleagues, and align on our shared vision for the

year ahead.
