By "Remote for the right candidate (...) US, Canada and UK" - do you mean work VISA valid for those jurisdictions? (I can work in the UK as I have a Norwegian passport -- but it's not clear if you'd be able/willing to consider me for this position)?
Those are best understood as two separate statements. Re. remote, we'd prefer to hire in the cities mentioned as those are where our current team members are located, though will definitely consider remote for someone who has the right skills to do this successfully (experience doing it, great communication skills and flexibility, above all an exceptional portfolio).
Separate to that, we are only able to hire within the jurisdictions mentioned, so for your situation you would have to reside in the UK (by my understanding). If you were willing to relocate, great, please do apply!
Thank you! The web design is by Mark Staplehurst (who shared the build with Brett Bergmann). The logotype is Blanche by Atipus via LostType.com and headlines are in Arvo by Anton Koovit via Google web fonts.
All good ideas! We hope our final presentation doesn't disappoint, because we think we have some pretty good ideas ourselves. =) Highlighting women in other cities as guest posts is something we hadn't thought of and I'll be sure to bring that up with the group as something we can potentially add to our long-term plans. Thanks!
We're trying to nail down some of the issues ourselves. The issues our team has discussed so far are often amorphous or interpreted differently depending on context and person, so you can imagine they are difficult to pin down. Exposure and networking were a couple of the harmless problems we thought could help address immediately.
We do have several men on our team (more men than women, in fact), and don't at all intend "reverse sexism".
Also, just to clarify, this isn't just for startup women but for any lady working in tech fields – including those coders who sit behind big monitors all day and are reluctant to put themselves in the limelight or to serve as mentors/role models.
I think you might be fine not mentioning specific issues yourselves. If you let women tell their stories in an open and honest way, the issues will come out in their stories.
If you craft some well-thought-out questions people will be likely to talk about the specific issues they have faced, how they dealt with those issues, and what kinds of supports they would like to see in their profession.
Focusing on people's stories is a great way to bring out these issues from the very people who have experienced them.
