How we work
Flexible & remote
With our team and clients located all around the world, we work remotely. We also work flexibly (both flexible hours and part time), adapting to work and life as we need to manage both.Collaborative and connected
Even though we are remote, we are a very collaborative and connected team. We chat rather than email, jump on calls when we need to work together, and run online workshops to explore ideas. We design and develop in the open and can always pick up where someone left off if needed.Respectful
One of the things our Makers like most is how much we respect each other. We respect and value each other’s expertise. We respect our time. And when we need to have a discussion and make hard decisions, we can easily do it in a professional, respectful way.Always learning
We are always up for learning something new, whether it’s an entirely new technology or a new way of working with clients. Our team are all forever learners and many are involved in conferences from all sides - as organisers, speakers and attendees.Choose our own tools
We know that we all work best when we can choose how we work. We have choice over our personal devices and setup. We work together to pragmatically choose the best tools and technology to work effectively as a team.Ethics
We make deliberate decisions about the work we take on. We find a balance that allows us to run a financially sustainable business, try and have a positive impact on the world and draw a line on work that goes against our ethics. We continuously work with our people to help them work on engaging projects that align to their values.
MakerX principles
We run what we call a principles-based organisation.
The idea is that instead of a complex and rigid set of policies, procedures and processes, we have a simple set of principles that our team can look at whenever they need to make a decision.
We apply principles to most aspects of our business, including the culture we are constantly driving towards:
Inclusive growth environment
We deliberately create an inclusive environment that fosters diverse, highly-collaborative, cross-functional teams that drive growth through continuous learning, feedback, and knowledge sharingMakers make #makersmake
We cultivate a culture that supports creativity (high trust, blameless, experimenting, fun) with a focus on continually delivering valuable, innovative outcomes in our clients' best interests.Human-led science
We always consider the human impact and then judiciously use automation, data and experimentation to get the best possible outcomesSmall, smart, simple and speedy
We deliver amazing outcomes quickly with small, capable teams working smarter rather than harder and we always punch above our weight with a lean company that brings pragmatic simplicity.
