Work at the Platoniq Foundation

The team is divided into different cities, so although some of us physically meet almost daily in the Palma or Barcelona offices, we coordinate digitally most of the time. The entire team meets at least once a year for the strategic and care summit.

Despite being a remote team, we highly value the occasions when we can meet up with teammates, be it in mini-groups or with the whole team. You will see that they will be moments rich in emotions! At Platoniq we face the challenge of the collective organization of work aimed at democratic innovation and citizen empowerment on a daily basis, in a manner consistent with our organizational values and principles. To do this, the people in the team are distributed according to their skills, knowledge and experience in interdependent functional units that we call offices.

The Management and Administration Office is one of these 4 offices together with the Communication and research, Inclusive Democratic Innovation and Participation. In addition, as a sign of our desire and commitment, we have created the Organizational Care and Health Commission, an internal space whose mission is to promote and ensure that the process of cultural change is carried out that allows the development and care of people who they are part of Platoniq.
