We’re one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing scale-ups in the UK, we’re profitable, and a B-corp. We deeply understand the value of a nurturing culture that empowers smart, motivated people through data and technology.
Our customers tell us that they want even greater choice and flexibility and constantly challenge us to enable them to cook what they want, when and where they want it. Our aim is to continue to exceed their expectations, and we want your help.

Steering and developing a great team - You will steer and manage a team of analytics engineers, including setting development goals, providing guidance and mentorship, conducting performance evaluations, and fostering a collaborative and productive work environment.
