Strategy & Operations Manager Jobs in London, England, United Kingdom at Commenda
Title: Strategy & Operations Manager
Company: Commenda

About Us
In 1914, antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton posted an ad for a job in London that read, “Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success”
While our wages are not low and we are not limiting our hiring to men only, we believe in the sentiment Shackleton expressed.
Commenda is a hardcore company looking to build a suite of products and services that save the free world and end the Democracy Tax. We are the world’s best way for businesses to interact with governments around the world. We’re venture-backed and ambitious.
