Work with us

Small team.
Serious work.

The GQC Foundation is twelve permanent staff across three offices, supported by a network of seasonal programme leaders, mentors and showcase producers. We hire infrequently and well. Open roles are listed below; we keep the list short and honest.

How we hire

Three rounds, no take-homes longer than two hours.

For permanent roles we run a written task (capped at two hours), an interview with the relevant director, and a final panel with two members of the academic council. We tell candidates exactly what we are looking for in advance and we give written feedback to every shortlisted candidate.

We are signed up to the Show The Salary commitment; pay bands are published in every role description. We do not ask candidates for current salary.

How hiring works

A small staff, seasonal jurors, no unpaid ‘exposure’.

The permanent team is small: programme producers in each city, a certificates and data role, a partnerships manager, and operations. Seasonal posts include clinic mentors and scribes during June–November. We do not use unpaid internships as labour. Open roles, when they exist, are listed on this page with a closing date; speculative CVs go to work@gqc.org with a one-page note on which desk you are aiming at.

Jury and mentor appointments are not jobs in the employment sense; they are paid stipends with a published conflict policy. Students are not hired to judge their own cycle. If you want to take part, apply through Eligibility, not through Careers.
