Founder Associate @ Wheely

At Wheely, we’re a luxury brand on the outside, but a technology company on the inside, building the world’s first Luxury-as-a-Service. We believe that time is the ultimate luxury and that modern engineering and design, combined with the industry’s highest standards of service, can unlock an unparalleled experience for our customers. From on-demand chauffeuring, concierge service, to our best-in-class app, we exist to help our clients reclaim their time by connecting them to the places and people that matter.

More than 40% of our team works in product & engineering, and both Wheely founders are technical. We are also unapologetically design centric. It’s not about A/B testing one hundred shades of blue, but crafting the perfect shade. We also take a privacy-first approach and believe that where people travel, and who they travel with, is at their discretion.

We have refused government requests to hand over journey data, and are currently developing bespoke technology to put our clients’ movements beyond even our own reach.

Backed by leading global investors, Wheely is poised for the next phase of our journey. Over the next 5-10 years, we plan to offer a full portfolio of luxury services and expand into more international cities, building on our success in London, Paris, and Dubai.

This is a unique opportunity to work on a large variety of challenging tasks in a fast-paced environment of a Series-B scale-up. The Founder’s Office will work on launching products and strategic initiatives, help manage complex situations and build the infrastructure to allow us to scale. You will be part of a small elite team, which focuses on high-priority tasks across the company, tackling complex problems and contributing to Wheely’s mission.
