Notes to applicants:

• Dimensional sees great value from collaborating in our offices and appreciates the benefits of flexibility.

This approach maximizes in-person collaboration and interaction while simultaneously providing flexibility and applies to most roles globally with a few exceptions that require more or less time in the office. Please discuss with your Recruiter to confirm the details for this specific role.
