We’re on a mission to provide equitable access to economic opportunity, for everyone.

We close critical skill gaps in the workforce through a new kind of apprenticeship that combines work and learning. We begin by recognizing high-potential individuals both inside and outside of a company's current workforce and then we create applied, guided and equitable learning programs, with measurable impact. Because we believe the world needs a better way to match its potential.

We work with over 1,500 leading companies including the likes of Microsoft, Citi and Just Eat to help solve their business-critical problems, and we’ve trained over 16,000 professional apprentices in the tech and data skills of the future. This is made possible by our global team who are driven to achieve a mission that matters, together.

Join Multiverse and help us set a new course for work.

Proven ability to build media relationships - resulting in impactful coverage
Excellent judgement that stems from the empathy to read things from another’s point of voice, and the determination to win
Superb writing skills - you often put your hand up to proof read, and improve, copy from across the organisations you’ve worked in
The confidence to be a thought partner to VPs and C-Suite leaders, being prepared to make clear, analytics recommendations even when that means disagreeing in pursuit of common goals
Project management skills to ensure internal projects with multiple stakeholders happen on time, to a high quality, and make it out into the wider world
Passion for the role external comms can play in delivering our mission and scaling our impact.
