We re shaking up a $500 billion industry and we want you to come on this journey. Let s face it, far too often corporate workspaces and restrooms are dirty, messy & below par. Why? Because Cleaning and Soft Facilities Management is far too manual, relies on outdated processes, weak technology (the one with the smiley faces) and remarkably has eluded innovation. We re changing that! We re PEGO a revenue generating tech start-up on a mission to create clean, comfortable, and safe places with less resources, by empowering placemakers with technology that matters. With the vast opportunities that lie ahead we are currently adding to the board a guru dealmaker with a strong background in Corporate Real Estate, Facilities Soft Services management Or a SaaS tech business scaling pro. Fancy becoming our Chief Commercial Officer? Intrigued ? P.S. Don t worry there are no cleaning robots hiding in restrooms jobs are safe. Our suite of tech is designed to empower cleaning teams and FM personnel by deploying the right resources at the right time turning these folks into superheroes. Buildings running PEGO will be the envy of those without. Let s make corporate workspaces great. Come and join us and help PEGO set the new standard in shared space cleanliness. Flex working or 4 day week for the right candidate A little more about us: PEGO is a technology startup headquartered in southeast England, funded by a group of incredibly supportive private individuals and developed by a super-smart team of visionaries. We currently have 23 team members, and a clear path to having £1 million annual recurring revenue by mid 2025. Why PEGO: No matter how expensive a building is, the spaces within require regular servicing, to become safe, comfortable and hygienic places where people can thrive. Without these services, spaces rapidly become improper for human usage, and the building in decline. In spite of this, building soft services are stuck in the 19th century: They rely on an army of underpaid, demotivated, unappreciated operatives, doing countless menial tasks. PEGO Changes This, by Unlocking Transformational Productivity: We generate operational efficiency gains by deploying technology that makes building services faster, better-directed and transparent. The data we collect will soon allow our clients to reward their operatives based on productivity, ultimately enabling this industry to employ less people, who are significantly better paid. Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It: As our Chief Commercial Officer, you will be at the forefront of this transformative journey. You will be the visionary leader driving PEGO's growth, forging strong partnerships, and evangelising our mission to revolutionise the $500 billion global Soft FM services market starting with commercial cleaning.
