Hiring Process

Our Approach to Hiring

We hire for capability, curiosity, and alignment with our mission—not for checkbox credentials. Our process is designed to be transparent, respectful, and substantive: we want to understand how you think and work, and we want you to understand enough about Provenya to make an informed decision about joining us.

What We Look For

  • Domain expertise in one or more of our core areas: AI governance, data protection, IP/rights management, provenance engineering, EU programme delivery, or technology commercialisation
  • Practical orientation: we value people who can translate complex requirements into actionable deliverables. Theory matters, but implementation matters more
  • Cross-disciplinary thinking: our work sits at the intersection of legal, technical, commercial, and operational domains. The best candidates can navigate between these perspectives
  • Communication clarity: whether writing a governance framework, facilitating a workshop, or briefing a partner, clear communication is essential
  • European ecosystem awareness: understanding of EU funding landscapes, regulatory frameworks, and cross-border collaboration dynamics is highly valued

What You Can Expect

Every candidate receives clear communication at each stage, honest feedback if we’re unable to progress their application, and a process that respects their time and expertise. We don’t use trick questions, unreasonable time pressures, or opaque evaluation criteria.

The practical exercise in Step 3 is directly relevant to the role and provides reasonable time for completion. We provide context, expectations, and evaluation criteria upfront—because the exercise is as much about us demonstrating how we work as it is about evaluating your capabilities.

Remote and Flexible Work

Provenya operates across European time zones with a primarily remote working model. We invest in tools, communication practices, and regular check-ins to ensure remote team members feel connected and supported. Where roles require occasional travel—for client workshops, partner meetings, or consortium events—this is communicated clearly during the hiring process.
