BE SMART

At Portland, we work with some of the best and the brightest – and by that we mean our people and our clients. We want our people to learn from each other, develop new skills, and continue to grow in their chosen area of expertise.

We’re smart about the way we work – we have great opportunities to work remotely and from the office. We encourage our people to use these to be effective in the way we collaborate with each other, and to be able to do our best work.

And we look to each other to challenge our thinking. We need diversity of thought to help us grow, and get the best results for our people and our clients.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

At Portland we get to the point and we’re getting to the point on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.

We provide a workplace where everyone feels valued and respected and has the opportunity to advance. We actively embrace every positive benefit of DEI and stamp out bias, whether conscious or unconscious.

Portland should be a place where everyone feels comfortable and it’s important that everyone, wherever they’re based or whatever role they do, feels as though they can be their true authentic self.  

We also know that we are only at our best when we feel we can be the best version of ourselves at work and at home.

Our goal is One Portland – the best people, great opportunities, working together.
