At Nisos, we traverse time zones and get to pass the baton amongst teammates who are mission-driven, smart, motivated, fun, and empowered to do their best work. As a remote company, we rely on each other heavily, respect each others’ personal obligations, and lean into delivering a best-in-class work product.

Jennifer, General Counsel

Communication is key to my role. Keeping groups up to date with what is evolving and how it may impact them is key to reducing potential challenges down the line. It’s also important I communicate the “why” of what we are doing, not just the “how”, so everyone has a clear line of sight to how they how they are impacting the mission.

Natalie, Program Manager - Operations
