For Candidates

Can I work part-time?

Some roles offer part-time (20h/week) at pro-rated rates.

Updated April 18, 2026

Part-time options are available on some roles, depending on client demand.

Typical part-time shape

  • 20 hours per week (roughly 4 hours a day, 5 days a week)
  • Pro-rated salary vs. full-time
  • Same benefits and workspace access
  • Clear working hours agreed with your client upfront

Roles with the most part-time demand

  • Executive Assistant
  • Customer Support (off-peak shifts)
  • Marketing Coordinator

Developer, Designer and SDR roles are almost always full-time because clients need consistent project velocity or pipeline ownership.
