About Greyparrot:
The world is in a waste crisis. Currently we produce 2.1 billion tons of solid waste per year. Data collection of the waste we produce is non-existent, meaning no systematic transparency and no accountability. It means that recycling targets are not upheld, dumping of waste into our oceans remains nobody's responsibility, recyclables get sent to landfill or incineration, and producers get away with sub-standard packaging. Thus, recycling rates stubbornly remain at 10% and, unless we change, by 2040 the plastic stock in the ocean will have quadrupled - a problem that already costs society $1.5 trillion each year.

Our mission at Greyparrot is to digitise waste to increase transparency and efficiency in recycling by providing data analytics to sorting centres, packaging producers and regulators. Currently, our camera system and AI software are deployed in recycling plants and waste facilities around the world to measure material flows and provide waste analytics. We have compiled a team of experts to deploy our technology and we’re looking to expand our team.

On offer:

• Competitive London-based salary (salary band available upon application)

• Employee stock option scheme

• Customised hybrid working between office and home

• 25 days holiday each year, plus bank holidays

• Paid sick leave for physical and mental health needs

• Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption or shared parental leave

• Ability to have a real impact on addressing the waste crisis

• Training budget with Sunlight

• Spill 1-1 mental health support

• Cycle to work scheme

A few things to note:

• Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.

• Only applicants who have the right to work in the UK will be considered at this time.

• We are 100% committed to building a diverse and representative team. Whatever your race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability - we want to hear from you.

• If you don’t quite match everything above but you feel you can succeed in this role, please still apply.
