Where you’ll be and how you’ll work:

We are flexible on remote work. You can decide with your manager the frequency to which you meet your team face to face.

We typically work business hours, but we understand that life sometimes gets in the way. As long as you get the job done and are able to either meet your deadlines (or properly manage expectations), we trust that you can organize your own work schedule accordingly.

Freespee wants you to have a good life balance and the opportunities to have advantages like free yoga lessons, team activities in Sweden, France or UK, and participation in inspiring events.

23 nationalities. One brand.

We focus on ensuring everyone has a proper work/life balance, one that prioritizes family, life, fun and work. We have a few simple values that are core to the way we work together - be genuine, stay focused, engage others, but most important, make an impact.

We do this to help businesses ensure they can provide a unified and consistent brand experience to their entire customer base across all conversational channels.

With your influence, we hope to expand this reach to continue helping businesses provide the best conversational journey for all of their customers in a way that looks out for not only the business’s profits, but also the customer’s privacy and safety.
