In our House, we care for the wellbeing of our team; that is why we offer a more flexible approach to working and operate a four-day week over the summer period, and a 4pm finish in the winter.

As well as caring for our colleagues, we also care deeply about our eternal muse - Mother Nature. House of Hackney is proud to be certified as a B Corp™ and part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact. With an independent representative for Nature & Future Generations sitting on our Board of Directors, we partner with many leading organisations - from World Land Trust to Living Wage Foundation, Woolkeepers and more - to reduce our impacts on Nature (including human wellbeing).

From our London flagship St Micheal’s Clergy, based in the creative heart of the capital, to our New York showroom, our House is a place where imagination and collaboration can flourish – where everyone is accepted, all ideas are encouraged, and magic really does happen.

It is time for us to move this position into its next phase now that solid structural and legal frameworks have been established. Being a consumable products business, our impacts sit within our production and products. To become measurably regenerative, we need to address and improve our direct impacts as a business. 

To make a meaningful difference that in turn can move beyond the limited footprint of House of Hackney, we will need to change industry norms and focus on material innovation in our biggest selling product categories. 

We are looking for someone who can challenge and push us to be making the right choices in order to drive positive change in our company. Choices that can balance the ambition of positive change and regenerative production on a path that ensures the longevity of the business. Coupled with our product ambitions, it is key that we bring other businesses along with us, using our platform to inspire outside of our internal community. 

We are looking for someone who can critically assess our activity, call out gaps and priorities and support with external networks and introductions to gain insights from relevant expertise for us to execute positive change.
