What It's Like to Work at Simply Business

A lot of tech workers fear automation replacing them at work, but Drew Curd replaced himself with automation. “Initially hired for a performance engineering role at Simply Business, I quickly automated most of the tasks I was hired for,” Curd shared. But the culture of exploration and career diversity at Simply Business meant that Curd wasn’t punished. Instead, Curd transitioned to DevOps and Info Security. "Simply Business fosters an environment that actively encourages employees to delve into areas of interest, even without prior formal training. This commitment manifests through opportunities for lateral movement within the organization, providing a valuable platform for experimentation, continuous learning and professional development."

Even early on in Sarah Kac’s career at Simply Business, first as a Relationship Manager and now the Director of Insurer Relations, she saw the growing company encourage folks to explore new roles and advancement. “Observing individuals taking on diverse responsibilities and contributing to projects beyond their core roles indicated a willingness to offer employees opportunities to broaden their skills and experience,” Kac said. “The welcoming and exploratory culture around new ideas gave me the impression that proactive individuals — who identified improvements or new initiatives — would be supported and potentially empowered to lead them.”
