Untangle

We're venturing into a land unknown - a single platform aimed at helping people cope with all the practical and emotional aspects of grief. We have a unique problem on our hands. Given this, we have to answer questions that often can't be answered with a quick Google search or a coffee with someone from another startup. It really feels like we have to go beyond copying and truly innovate. Couple that with ambitious targets and you have exciting, challenging work every single day. If you like a challenge this is the place to be!

You'd be hard-pressed to find more meaningful work. Everyone dies and so everyone experiences grief. Yet, the world doesn't really stop for grievers. The support systems are completely inadequate. All this leaves grievers overwhelmed by a long list of complex tasks and hard emotions that they're expected to deal with alone. We're here to change this. And every single day, our customers reach out and tell us how impactful our work has been on their life. And without fail, I get goosebumps when I read those messages.

Emily really sets you up for success and makes it easy for you to see where the opportunities lie for career progression. I've seen everyone on the team progress their career since working at Untangle. Additionally, the team is small but growing fast and this provides a great opportunity to develop quickly.

As a small start-up, when I joined I was thrown in at the deep end, but as a result I’ve gain experience in every aspect of the business in just a year and a half

We have regular meetings to scope out ideas, where everyone gets a chance to speak. Our CEO frequently asks for feedback from the rest of the team, and we can all see first hand the changes that our ideas have made

All members of the team really value honest feedback, and we get opportunities to give and receive this frequently. Our CEO is very open with any business decisions, and clearly communicates these

From a product point of view, this is a challenging, but magical, site to work on. So much of what we do is about human behaviour in all its messy and complex glory, to achieve an aim of bringing people together to process their loss and - ultimately - feel less alone.

If you're a self-starter and lifelong learner, Untangle is the place for you. With a small team such as this, you're expected to become the expert in your area (and quickly!). There is a culture of insight sharing and I've learnt more here than any other organisation I've worked at. Prepare to have the fast forward button pressed on your progression.

Every day, we hear from our members telling us how our product has helped them to understand and process their loss, how they've learn to live alongside their grief and how they feel less alone. We even have a Slack channel dedicated to these messages.
