Thank you. We are a global and progressive business, founded on a heritage of trusted and respected brands – including Springer, founded in 1842, Macmillan, founded in 1843 and Nature, first published in 1869. Nearly two centuries of progress and advancement in science and education have helped shape the business we are today. Great people full of highly talented, motivated and purposeful focus. We want all our colleagues to feel empowered and actively encourage an environment that promotes diversity and recognises ideas and opinions in line with our values. We regularly review our compensation and offer flexible benefits package with hybrid working (2 days in office) which is popular with many colleagues.
