Working at Pass the Crayon will be a unique experience. You will be able to bring your expertise and vision at the start of an organization and take credit for your own work. The two founders, Martin and Sevin, have a lot of experience in office jobs and they noticed what was motivating or not. So today they want to work in a better environment and change the rules in order to make everyone feel good at their position. Your personal input is also important in that field!
Diversity is important to us and we are looking forward to recruiting newcomers, parents, senior citizens and would like to ask people of different professional and cultural background, origin, age or sexual orientation to apply.
We also welcome people who are self-taught, who would like to learn and gain a new experience. We definitely encourage a more original and ethical approach to work.
We are looking forward to reading your e-mails!
Peace,
Martin and Sevin
