Joining forces means the combined mission of advancing the learning, understanding, and communication of one billion people around the world by 2030 becomes even stronger. We will make a deeper, richer impact on people’s lives and on society.

We can only achieve our mission and continue to grow by having high-performing, passionate people on our team. Both Texthelp and n2y promote a collaborative work environment where diversity is embraced and empowered. The combined organization employs over 550 staff across locations in the UK, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, USA, and Australia.

We plan to reveal our new brand in early 2025, but for now, the messaging and any correspondence from this role will come from n2y. We are extremely proud to be on this journey and hope you can join us!
