Do you sponsor a relocation? Or maybe REMOTE is possible for the right candidate (from Europe)?

[robertknight]

Hi exim,

I believe we can offer some help with relocation from Europe. The job involves working closely with our UX design, QA and platform teams so we're really looking for someone who could work from our London offices. Please get in touch with us at jobs@mendeley.com and our HR staff can provide more details.
