Great Place to Work $2,500 grant for personal development Monthly stipend for gym membership Growth opportunities Awesome company retreats and regular team outings Modern offices around the globe Flexible hours and a remote friendly environment About the company TimeEdit was established in Sweden in the mid 90's by an astrophysicist making a timetabling application from an Excel sheet on crack. Since then, the system has been professionalised and developed further to arguably become the world's most modern fleet of resource management tools for higher education institutions. As a leading SaaS company within Edtech we are now moving to redefine the future of Acedmic Operations. Today, TimeEdit is a market leader in Europe and one of Scandinavia's fastest-growing Edtech companies. On average, our customers spend 20% less on facilities, representing more than 4MEUR (!) in savings per year (yes, we're pretty proud of that!). Less money spent on empty rooms means more resources allocated to research projects and higher education quality. We recently celebrated our 200th customer and are growing fast through new exciting applications and a global roll-out. Today, more than seven hundred thousand students, teachers and schedulers use our products every day (yes, we're pretty proud about that, too!). Our office is located at Kungsportsplatsen in the heart of Gothenburg. Context, not control If the team is fully aware of our purpose and how it maps to TimeEdit's current state of business, we believe we can make much better decisions and accomplish far more than through a top-down management model. Swing for the fences We encourage experimentation. Better to try and sometimes fail than to sit tight and… fail for sure. Each mistake carries a lesson, and we make sure to learn from it. Judgment > Policies Social media policy. Travel policy. Buy a round of beers at an event policy. Work from home policy. Nay. Our policy on these (and most things) consists of three words: Use good judgement. Work-life fit We're scaling a company where people can build their work around their life, not the other way around. Flexibility means you're in the driver's seat to create a schedule that works for you, your passions, and the people you love. #J-18808-Ljbffr
