Sustainability Co-Ordinator

Why join us?

Because NaughtOne don’t make furniture for your home, you probably don’t know us. But LinkedIn, Google and Adobe do – because they all have our designs in their workplaces.

The NaughtOne team are just as unique as the furniture we create and if you come to work with us, you’ll be joining a global business with a Yorkshire spirit. We have colleagues all over the world because the world is our customer, but our personality reflects our home: down-to-earth, friendly and honest.

We’ve received numerous accolades, including The Queens Award for Enterprise for International Trade, and that makes us proud. We’ve always cared deeply about sustainability and we’re always looking for ways to do more and have a stronger impact. We don’t do it because it’s good for business – we do it because it’s the right thing.

If any of that makes you curious, good – because curious people thrive at NaughtOne. Perhaps you’ll be thriving at NaughtOne soon.
