We currently do not have salary bands for Mexico, and if you reside in Mexico and are successful in advancing in your candidacy, we want to be transparent that we may need to extend our hiring process timeline (possibly by a month) to allow CPI to expand our infrastructure further to support you. This means that we warmly welcome your application, and that our timelines will necessarily be more emergent (including the ability to provide transparent salary data for Mexico) with a delay in the start date based on the review of your application and the outcomes of the interview process.

For this reason, we encourage applicants from all backgrounds to apply. This includes candidates that have previously found it hard to be considered for other positions on the basis of their disabilities, personal background or life events. If you would like to apply for the position but see a barrier to joining us, please do apply and we will work with you to find a solution. You can also read our full Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy here.

We are using Applied in order to reduce bias in our hiring process and ensure that we are shortlisting candidates based on their skills and ideas. Please note that we do not ask for a cover letter and instead, the application requires four paragraph-length answers.

We understand applicants may need to use AI tools as thought partners or for light assistance during the application process. However, we are looking for original work that reflects your unique perspective, skills and reflections borne out of lived experiences. Please do not submit content that is directly copied or heavily reliant on AI as these will be flagged and marked down. All answers are anonymised, then read and reviewed one by one by humans on the review team who score your sift responses to ensure applications maintain authenticity, so any AI-generated content should be thoughtfully integrated rather than directly pasted.
