Company mission
To help electronics producers be better stewards of their products and the planet.
Our take
The net-zero era has led to major changes in how companies develop and risk-analyse their products, leading to bottlenecks in the development process. Twist has built a set of tools and integrations so producers can manage the risk and value of their assets. The company quantifies the financial and environmental footprint of a product's lifecycle and uses this data to provide instant access to an asset's future earnings. This same data creates a detailed green financial product for lenders.
Twist's software is for electronics companies that are operating producer-owned models: that's when a company owns, looks after and ultimately recycles its products. Twist charges its customers to access the software, like an e-scooter sharing platform or a robotics-as-a-service business.
Twist's platform sets itself apart by helping tackle the two problems companies face when making the switch to environmentally-friendly business models. Firstly, it takes on the new operations they need, taking control of their product lifecycle. And secondly, Twist helps companies smooth out the longer payback periods these models have.

Benefits
- Health and happiness - We want to support our employees' health and happiness. Everyone's version of that is different so we're trusting you to spend your £100 per month allowance on what makes sense for you
- Time off - We don’t have set holiday days. We trust you to act in the best interest of the company, to us that means being well rested. We want you to have control and be able to observe what’s important to you — including taking time off when your mind and body need a break. Some people need a bit more of a push when it comes to taking holiday so your manager will make sure you take at least 25 days off a year and generally gloat about their latest hiking trip
Company values
- Working together. We are working in a hybrid model where we have set days in the office and on the other days you can work where you want to. Right now we're loving having set time to workshop and collaborate. We make sure the intensity is high and seem to get through a lot!
- Diversity matters. We know that no single discipline has all the answers needed to help us realise the economic and environmental benefits of our vision. We also know that the best ideas come from dedicated collaboration between different fields. We firmly believe that to do that well, we need to build a diverse, empowered and cross-functional team
- High-performance environment. We have a real dedication to our mission. We know for us to realise it, that we need to push each other to do our best work. This means supporting and motivating each other to be braver and communicating clearly how we can each improve
- Trust. We value flat hierarchies, clear communication full ownership and responsibility. We want you to bring forward anything that you think will help us be a better business. To feel empowered to make big bets that can have a major impact and be comfortable to shine a light on your mistakes if it doesn't come of

It's great to find a team that is as excited as I am about the challenge we are tackling but still respects my life outside of work.
