A statement on equal opportunity:
970 Design believes that corporations, consciously and unconsciously, disproportionately hurt the most marginalized people in society - including people of color, people from working class backgrounds, women and LGBTQ people. We believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do. Hence, we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalized communities. We believe an equitable, diverse and inclusive workplace is one where all workers, whatever their gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation or identity, education or disability, feel valued, included, and respected.

We provide details on how to request accommodations at any stage in the hiring process.
