What your typical work week will be like:
Engaging Client Interactions:

You'll be part of an exciting cross-functional team, where you'll get the chance to connect with our clients at least 2-3 times a week. Imagine yourself welcoming a new client, showing them just how our product can help them reach their goals, or diving into deeper technical discussions with our long-term partners. It's all about making meaningful connections and understanding their needs!

Regular Team Check-ins:

Every day begins with a quick standup meeting – a great chance to catch up with your team, especially when we’re not all in the office. Plus, we have weekly meetings to share how things are going with our clients. This is the perfect time to spot any trends or feedback that we should pass along to our product teams. Your insights here are super valuable!

Influencing Product Development:

Your work doesn't stop at client interactions. You'll also be part of key meetings where we talk about new product features. Your first-hand client experience is crucial here, helping us decide which features get the green light. Your voice really matters in shaping our product!

Structured Yet Dynamic Work Cycles:

We operate in six-week sprints, a rhythm that keeps us focused and energetic. And the best part? At the end of each fortnight, we all come together for a company-wide meeting. It's a fantastic opportunity to hear updates from different areas of the company and to ask questions. It's all about staying connected and informed!

What working at nPlan will be like:

We are still a relatively small team so there is plenty of opportunity for a high degree of ownership over different areas of the product, and you will be directly exposed to all areas of the business.
Your voice will always be heard. What you do or say counts, not who you are or where you're from.
We have three core values that underlie everything we do: Learn from Everything, Be Radically Truthful, and Aim High, Run Fast. These enable us to create a collaborative, inclusive environment where we can move effectively and efficiently to implement the best solutions.
We are a cross-disciplinary team, and come from all backgrounds and countries.
Fantastic benefits package for Health & Wellbeing, Learning & Development, family leave, monthly team meals and more.
We are committed to addressing the diversity problem in the tech industry, and that starts with making sure we have a diverse team where everyone feels at home and can contribute as an equal.
Having time to yourself and a private life is important. We offer a very flexible work environment and a generous holiday policy.
Unfortunately we are unable to provide visa sponsorship for this role.

We are working hard to create a workplace that is inclusive to everyone, no matter their background, or where they are in life. We believe that only a truly diverse place can create great products that serve a wide audience and improve the world.

We believe in equality of opportunities and that's why we make sure that these ideas are reflected in our values, and that we really apply these in all aspects of our company culture.
If you have a need for any adjustments during our interview process, let us know and we will do our best to accommodate them.
