Our culture and values
AIM is a highly dedicated but informal and flexible working environment. We believe that friendliness and teamwork, a focus on impact and evidence, critical thinking, and warm connections are key workplace values. Our team of 25 are close-knit and we have built an active and connected community of charity entrepreneurs and impactful professionals around this. Our office in central London is a lively and vibrant hub where recent developments from our charities are as likely to be discussed over lunch as what the 80/20 of dental hygiene looks like, or what the effects of different sleep habits on productivity are. We are united by our relentless pursuit of counterfactual impact and a perhaps slightly excessive love of spreadsheets.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
We are committed to fostering a culture of inclusion and encourage individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences to apply. We especially encourage applications from women and people of color as well as neurodivergent humans who are excited about contributing to our mission. AIM is an equal opportunity employer.
