How we work

CitySwift is headquartered in Ireland, with our second office hub in London. We also have team members based in Australia, Singapore and across parts of the EU.

Hybrid working is the default in Ireland (with some exceptions), with remote and hybrid options across the UK and beyond. All roles have core hours of 10am to 4pm, giving you flexibility around how you structure your day. Collaboration really matters to us, with quarterly and bi-monthly meet-ups depending on your department or area of work, but we’re sensible about it – we won’t ask you to come into the office to tick a box. Our offices are designed for proper collaboration (and are dog friendly!).

We also believe trust and rest matter. Annual leave starts at 25 days, and our work abroad programme gives you the option to work from another country for up to six weeks. We move fast, expect a lot from each other and back people to do their best work.
