When people think about planning for death they think about wills, life insurance and funerals. We take these cold processes and turn them into something more human. Share more than money: leave voice notes, music, recipes. Shape a legacy that connects you while you're here. And after you're gone. Founded by Sam after his mum died suddenly, we’re a group of people who work in death because we’ve been affected by it. We know the difference a good plan makes, and what it’s like when there isn’t one. Death can come between us, leave mess, legal fees, frustration. But it can also make us stronger. We see a world where people talk openly about death, and work out the real meaning of legacy, one that connects to them. We’re here to make that world happen. Benefits:

Flexible holiday + extra day off for your Birthday. Work from anywhere in the world for up to 4 weeks per year. Vitality Health & Life Insurance. Enhanced parental leave. Free Will & LPAs + discounts on other Octopus services. Cycle to Work Scheme and access to the Electric Vehicle (EV) Salary Sacrifice Scheme. Octopus Giving: we match any charitable fundraising that you do up to £500. We know that to be truly innovative, we need to have a diverse team around us. That is why Octopus Legacy is committed to creating an inclusive environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. Apply for this job #J-18808-Ljbffr
