Growth Engineer - Contract Role

We’re a London based start up, building a B2B payments network. By leveraging technology and collective buying we are helping to empower small businesses by giving them control of their payments and cash flow, getting them better trade terms, guaranteed savings and ensuring they never go unpaid.

We are venture-backed and in stealth, and we’re now starting to add early alphas. Our short-term opportunity is a simple accounts receivable and payable tool for small businesses. The mid-term opportunity is a trade network connecting the near £1trillion annual spend of small businesses.
