Your workspace

Where the work happens.

CeriFi is a remote-first company. Wherever you are, that's where the work happens — you don't need to be near an office to be at the center of the team.

Remote-first, by design

Our default is remote. Employees work from wherever they do their best thinking, and our meetings, documents, and decisions are built to work for people who aren't in a room together.

Confirm your team's working rhythms and core hours with your manager during week one.

Our Alpharetta office

We do have an office in Alpharetta, Georgia for those who want it — a place to gather, host visitors, or get out of the house. It's an option, never a requirement.

Inclusive by default

  • · Remote-first means talent isn't limited by geography
  • · Async-friendly practices so every time zone can contribute
  • · Accommodations and flexible setups available on request

IT & equipment

Your laptop, accounts, and access will be ready on day one. Need help? Our IT team works from a ticket system rather than an inbox.

Where we work

Remote-first, across three countries.

Paylocity training

You'll also find a few short trainings in Paylocity to get you acquainted with the system — where to view your pay, request time off, and update your personal details.

How we operate

Doing the right thing, by design.

CeriFi serves regulated industries — that means our standards, both ethical and operational, have to be exceptional.

Code of Conduct

How we do business — ethically, with integrity, and in compliance with the regulations that govern our industries.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We're committed to building a workplace and learner community where everyone belongs and has the chance to thrive.

Responsible Business

Sustainable operations, responsible content, and partnerships that align with our values and our learners' best interests.

The CeriFi commitments

Learners. Partners. Colleagues. Industry.

Our four commitments shape how we measure success — together they make sure every decision serves someone real.

  • Learners — empower careers at every turn
  • Partners — quality and content they can trust
  • Colleagues — a community where you can grow
  • Industry — raise the bar for professional education

Compliance & security

Because we operate in financial services and legal, security and privacy aren't optional. You'll complete required compliance, security, and data privacy training in your first weeks — and refresh annually.

Specific training modules are assigned by People Ops and your manager.

Resource vault
