Our Squads
Being a Giant means being part of something bigger. Our Squads are cross-functional groups that give you a voice and a way to shape the business beyond your day job. Whether it’s wellbeing, inclusion, sustainability, or development — there’s a Squad for that.
Culture Squad - Find the joy, embrace community
The Culture Squad exists to spread joy, support and wellbeing throughout the business and our wider community. Their mission is to make SGM a more inclusive, positive and connected workplace, through inclusive events, employee-led initiatives, mental health awareness and charitable action.
IDS Squad - Use our voices, embrace challenge, find the solution
The Identify, Discuss & Solve Squad creates space for open dialogue, accountability and change. They work across the business to identify challenges, gather feedback and help shape practical improvements — making sure every Giant feels seen, supported and heard.
N.O.T Squad – Equity, Education, Allyship
The Nothing off the Table Squad champions fairness, inclusivity and diversity in all aspects of Sleeping Giant Media life. From EDI policies and inclusive recruitment to bias training and allyship campaigns, they drive education and accountability to make our workplace equitable and welcoming for everyone.
Green Squad – Inspire change to help protect the Earth
The Green Squad leads the charge on sustainability at SGM. With the goal of reaching Net Zero by 2038, they coordinate company-wide initiatives, from plant-based challenges to beach cleans and carbon literacy training — embedding eco-conscious action into everything we do.
Squads are a great way to connect, collaborate and create change. Anyone in the business can join — no permission needed, just passion.
Inclusion & Access
We are passionate about fostering a workplace where everyone can be their authentic selves and feel supported to thrive. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, including people from underrepresented backgrounds, people with disabilities, and individuals of all faiths or beliefs.
We understand the importance of flexibility and are proud to offer hybrid working arrangements. If flexibility is something you need, we’re happy to discuss how we can tailor our roles to suit you. Just get in touch at jobs@sleepinggiantmedia.co.uk.
Please note that applicants must have the right to work in the UK, as we are unable to provide visa sponsorship.
We are committed to creating an inclusive and accessible recruitment process. If you need reasonable adjustments or specific support during the recruitment process, or once in the role, we’ll do everything we can to accommodate your needs.
Charity & Volunteering Opportunities
We believe that businesses should be a force for good and we actively encourage our Giants to give back to their communities. Through our charity & volunteering opportunities, employees have the chance to participate in company-supported charity initiatives and contribute to causes that matter. We regularly organise fundraising events, allowing our team to support meaningful social causes while fostering a strong sense of community.
Beyond financial contributions, we prioritise hands-on engagement. Our Green Squad leads volunteering projects such as beach cleans and litter-picking events, giving our team the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the environment and local communities. To further support this commitment, we provide one paid day off per year for volunteering, allowing Giants to dedicate time to a cause they care about.
As part of our ongoing commitment to social responsibility, we continue to explore additional ways to support volunteering and community engagement. By actively participating in social causes and reinforcing ethical business practices, we align with our B Corp values and strengthen our mission to balance profit with purpose.
