Young St London W UK, United Kingdom pinwheel Full time £50,000 - £80,000 per year
Company Description

Pinwheel's mission is to help people preserve the planet. We want everyone to have the chance to live a modern lifestyle without hurting Earth in the process. Initially we're doing that by offering innovative solutions to help individuals and businesses protect the natural world and offset their carbon emissions.

We're privately funded and run by an experienced team (Smart Energy GB, ITV, McCann Worldgroup, HM Government). We're currently building our launch product and have an exciting roadmap. Our team is being built from scratch and the possibilities for innovation are endless.

Job Description

We're looking for talented and entrepreneurial people who are engaged with our mission. You'll enjoy significant autonomy and the chance to work collaboratively with a highly experienced senior team. In return we'll expect you to be highly proactive and take on significant personal responsibility.

At Pinwheel we're getting started on our product development journey. As a member of our Product team you'll play a key role in developing and deploying beautiful, intuitive products that help people live more sustainable lives. All of Pinwheel's product suite is digital, so you'll sit at the heart of our business.

You'll bring designs to life and add value through the process. You'll focus on delivering outstanding user experiences through intuitive interfaces.
