Culture and values

What does it take to be successful at IsoLabs? It’s not about finding

people who think and act in the same way, but we do have some

shared values:

Thoughtful

Thoughtful at Iso is about curiosity, creativity and care. It is about

good people doing good, rigorous and future-making science every

single day.

Brave

Brave at Iso is about fearlessness, but it’s also about initiative and

integrity. The scale of the challenge demands nothing less.

Determined

Determined at Iso is the way we pursue our goal. It’s a confidence

in our hypothesis, as well as the urgency and agility needed to

deliver on it. Because disease won’t wait, so neither should we.

In this together

Together at Iso is about connection, collaboration across fields and

catalytic relationships. It’s knowing that transformation is a group

project, and remembering that what we’re doing will have a real

impact on real people everywhere.

Creating an inclusive company

We realise that to be successful we need our teams to reflect and

represent the populations we are striving to serve. We’re working to

build a supportive and inclusive environment where collaboration is

encouraged and learning is shared. We value diversity of

experience, knowledge, backgrounds and perspectives and

harness these qualities to create extraordinary impact.

We are committed to equal employment opportunities regardless of

sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age,

citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual

orientation, gender identity, pregnancy or related condition

(including breastfeeding) or any other basis protected by applicable

law. If you have a disability or additional need that requires

accommodation, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Hybrid working

It’s hugely important for us to be able to share knowledge and

establish relationships with each other, and we find it easier to do

this if we spend time together in person. This is why we’ve decided

to follow a hybrid model, and would require you to be able to come

into the office 3 days a week (currently Tue, Wed, and one other

day depending on which team you’re in). As an equal opportunities

employer we are committed to building an equal and inclusive team.

If you have additional needs that would prevent you from following

this hybrid approach, we’d be happy to talk through these if you’re

selected for an initial screening call.

processed in line with our privacy policy.
