📋 Description

• TrustedHousesitters is a global pet care travel exchange; a double sided digital marketplace of owners and sitters that’s growing rapidly through our unique combination of product, proposition, marketing and community building. • At our marketplace we facilitate the perfect match between pet owners who want to leave their pets in safe hands and pet sitters looking to enjoy the companionship of pets whilst they travel. We enjoy exceptional customer retention rates driven by the fact that our owners and sitters realise the amazing value and incredible experiences we can facilitate. • We're fully in scale-up mode and have grown to be the only global platform of its kind. In the last few years, we’ve consistently achieved high year-on-year growth. Thanks to strong tailwinds in the pet and travel industry in the post-Covid world, 2022 has been our strongest year so far. The USA has become our biggest market, followed by the UK and Australia. • We've just recently been named as one of the Escape the City's top organisations to work for 2023! • Our team has a collaborative and supportive culture. We’re passionate about pets, people and travel; continuously searching for the win, win, win that makes everyone’s lives easier, travel kinder on the pet and enables a more sustainable travel footprint. • We've recently made the transition to a remote-first business, however we've retained a HQ in central Brighton which is available for collaborative working and in-person meet-ups. • We’re looking for a customer oriented Engineering Manager to guide and further develop our engineers across our cross functional product squads within our Health alliance. You will be responsible for the technical design and delivery of exceptional products (across App and Web platforms) that activate and retain customers within our marketplace, as well as the wellbeing and development of your reports. You will thrive in a remote first environment, but appreciate the benefits of in person time as needed to foster creativity and build relationships.
