About ChangeEngine

ChangeEngine is the next-generation data-to-communication platform that empowers companies to treat employees like their internal customers. Employees are the heart of any organisation—happy employees lead to happy customers. We think with an employee-centric mindset and our product & team reflects that.

In the hybrid workplace, employees are feeling more disconnected than ever before. In order to connect with their employees, companies are sending blanket emails, running all hands, and deploying outdated solutions, such as intranet portals. People teams are not equipped to succeed and are left spending time doing manual tasks. They’re discovering, designing, and executing programs from scratch. We’re here to fix that.

ChangeEngine is founded by successful Silicon Valley/UK SaaS entrepreneurs who’ve previously raised investment from Aaron Levie (Box), Eric Schmidt (Google), and Dharmesh Shah (HubSpot) amongst 30 angels which led to a successful exit to Jobvite in 2019.

Now, we’ve started ChangeEngine to empower companies to communicate with their employees in the most intelligent and impactful ways possible. Delivering critical and beneficial information about what their company has to offer, such as careers, benefits, software, coaching, compliance, diversity, and much more. As a result, we enrich people's work-life experience by highlighting initiatives that are truly meaningful, while staying within their current working flow.

At ChangeEngine, we’ve received Seed investment from Struck Capital, Bonfire Ventures, Builders VC, Forward Partners, Alumni Ventures Group, Gaingels, and Notion Capital (amongst a number of other strategic angels) to tackle the unique opportunity to create a new category and deploy the next wave of employee adoption tech.

You'll be joining 4 experienced entrepreneurs from the US and UK. Together they have already built global SaaS companies and have 7 combined exits. Spanning both regions, they have access to a wide range of VC backing and support. For this venture, they are capitalizing on their SaaS experience to build even more meaningful tech.

ChangeEngine has been awarded Great Place to Work (see certification). Joining us, you’ll be a key part of our Cultural Building Blocks as we pave the way for the future of work.
