London, United Kingdom Global Relay Full time

**Who we are**:
For over 20 years, Global Relay has set the standard in enterprise information archiving with industry-leading cloud archiving, surveillance, eDiscovery, and analytics solutions. We securely capture and preserve the communications data of the world's most highly regulated firms, giving them greater visibility and control over their information and ensuring compliance with stringent regulations.

Though we offer competitive compensation and benefits and all the other perks one would expect from an established company, we are not your typical technology company. Global Relay is a career-building company. A place for big ideas. New challenges. Groundbreaking innovation. It's a place where you can genuinely make an impact - and be recognized for it.

**Our London Office**:
Having established our reputation in the North American finance industry, we have been expanding our London operations to better serve our UK and EU customers. Our four-story EMEA headquarters on Cannon Street (near St. Paul's Cathedral) features state-of-the-art amenities, a spectacular view of the city, and an Executive Briefing Center for customer forums and company events.

We provide fantastic opportunities to individuals passionate about business and technology. These opportunities include: working alongside members of our leadership team; mentorship from seasoned technology and business professionals; doing business with the world's largest, most influential finance and enterprise organizations.

**Our Vision**:
Global Relay is an innovative business and this extends to its approach in developing highly engaging and informative content for its prospects, customers, partners and employees. Our information service, called Global Relay Intelligence & Practice (GRIP), will be a product in its own right and will be a new revenue line. It will have a start-up mentality and its own milestones, team and identity but will not be held back by the usual foundational obstructions that start-ups have to put in place such as resource, infrastructure, capital and premises.

The goal is to deliver a modern and practical streamed content service that focuses on informing the C-suite on essential developments, news, and intelligence in order to conduct their roles with speed, confidence and precision. We want to expand our offering from one which enables our clients to manage their information into one that helps them use that information to grow their business. The foundational team has considerable experience in delivering this type of product.
