Boundless is an Equal Opportunities Employer
We’re committed to building a diverse team. Quality comes from having different perspectives, and ensuring that we work with an interesting bunch of people with different ways of thinking requires diversity. We’re conscious that, while Diversity & Inclusion are often spoken about like they’re one thing, they are two different areas that need to be nurtured. There’s little point in building a diverse team if that diverse group of people doesn’t all have a voice. When we’re working collaboratively, we all must take responsibility for looking around the room and ensuring that ALL voices have an opportunity to be heard.
