What will you get at BOL?

Trying to do the right thing has been part of BOL's DNA since day 1, they have always tried to be a force for good as a business so embrace equal opportunities and cultural diversity in everything that they do. They take their products as serious as it gets, their responsibility to both people & planet too - they believe the serious stuff can still be delivered in a fun high energy environment though. Leave the corporate mumbo jumbo at the door.

This role will largely be based out of the Veg Pad which is an awesome top floor studio with views across London - chasing down those evening sunsets from the terrace is a particular passion point for a number of the team.
The freebie food & drink benefits are pretty endless, think freshly brewed coffee from the smiley barista, plant powered brekkie, lunch and dinner on BOL not to mention the free beer, cider & prosecco taps.
Over and above the F&D, there are daily activities from run club to yoga to highly competitive table tennis matches that take place on a regular basis. All of this has somewhat been put on ice during lockdown, but they'll come flying out the blocks come Spring - Summer 2021.
They do however also have a hybrid working culture at BOL - so long as you're delivering the doughnuts then they're happy for you to work the odd day at home, the beach or quite frankly wherever you feel most creative and happy.

The team, culture and relationships built at BOL are second to none.
You will get the opportunity to help create even more game changing products across their portfolio, land exciting and disruptive marketing plans but most importantly grow yourself and your team to deliver beyond the "usual" expectations.
