New Business Partnerships Lead, Zero Gravity

The Zero Gravity team are both the most incredible/smart/good at what they do people I've worked with, and also the most fun! The social life in the team is just great and makes coming to work so much more fun than it ever has been for me before. The excellence of the team also just makes doing your job a whole lot easier since you're always supported by the best

Zero Gravity's mission is to propel top talent from low-opportunity areas into top unis, jobs, and life. The impact you can see from the work we do is huge and it's great being a part of that. Everything the team does is driven by this mission and we regularly take the time to bring ourselves back to that.

Zero Gravity, like any great startup, is growing really fast thanks to the successes it is achieving. This makes it a really variable and fun workplace to be in, with long term goals guiding us in a stable way but short term work being very variable, requiring adaptability.

It's so fulfilling working for a company that has a social mission at its core. In every area of the business, each job on a to-do list is going that little bit further in leveling the playing field when it comes to accessing top unis and careers.

Super energetic team that brings a wealth of experience, ideas, and creative solutions to problems. Makes work so much more enjoyable when you're tackling problems with great people and energy.

Lots of responsibility from day one. L&D budget ensures you're continually learning and lots of experience in your team to lean on to ensure multiple perspectives. I've learnt more in the last 6 months than I had in 5 years in my previous career!

We're helping socially mobile talent get into uni and then into work. Without Zero Gravity the often the odds defy them. With Zero Gravity students can thrive in life.

As in most start-ups, you get so much autonomy, exposure and responsibility but equally supported. This means you learn so much faster and it accelerates your career progression.

Everyone is so lovely. On the first day you are taken out for breakfast with the team and everyone takes time to get to know you. We also have bi-weekly socials and culture meetings to ensure we are working in line with the company values. People are very supportive and it makes coming to work a joy.

Talent is spread evenly, but opportunity is not. We’re changing that. We propel low-income students into the UK’s best universities, powered by innovative tech and free support from the UK’s leading undergraduates. How could you turn down a purpose and opportunity like that?

The passion and energy of this team is second to none. Everyone is wholeheartedly dedicated to the cause. We pride ourselves on running towards danger and finding new and compelling ways to make it happen.

Working for a start up requires an entirely different approach and mindset. Your work can have an impact immediately but you have to bring the motivation. Everyone is this team has a natural ability to bring it and have fun at the same time.

We're working on something that hasn't been done before and holds true impact at the core of its model - this is, by nature, really challenging work. The team here are incredible, some of the smartest people I've ever been in a room with and so incredibly creative and driven to succeed!

The team are energetic, creative, and candid. Everyone holds an area of specialism but seeks out the opinions of others to make the best decisions and create the best product possible. The team is truly collaborative and aligned in achieving our mission!

There is no virtue signalling here. Without our mission, Zero Gravity doesn't work - the mission is core to everything we do. We're driven by impact, data and tech to scale and work with some of the brightest, highest potential young people across the whole of the UK.

Zero Gravity greatly benefits from Joe being the Founder & CEO. His vision to disrupt current university admission and career recruitment processes for kids from low-income backgrounds is inspiring. In addition to this, the strategy and values held by the company, its employees, and current stakeholders, makes me believe that there is nowhere for Zero Gravity to go apart from the moon 🚀

The team at Zero Gravity hold the company culture and its values at the utmost priority. The CEO presents a culture deck to all new employees. The company values are displayed across the HQ in London. There is flexible working and are bi-weekly socials. People are celebrated every week 🎉

I joined Zero Gravity because of their people, brand and inspiring mission. There is little support for talented kids from low-income backgrounds wanting to go to university. There is no support whatsoever for them beyond this. What I love most is seeing all the bonafide testimonials and case studies that stream in from the Zero Gravity community 🤩

Zero Gravity is a small but growing team! This makes open and honest communication essential. Everyone is encouraged to bring ideas to the table along with sharing opinions and feedback in a constructive way.

Everyone is committed to Zero Gravity's mission which creates a natural buzz around the company. The enthusiasm and determination rub off on everyone in a great way!

The inspiration behind Zero Gravity's mission of propelling low-income students into the UK's best universities speaks for itself. Hearing student success stories and seeing how much they benefit from our tech makes it that extra bit special.

Zero Gravity has incredibly smart and motivated people. Everyone I work with is driven and inspires me to up my own game. I come to work in the morning and end up always end up leaving having learned something new in the day.

A pivotal reason in my joining Zero Gravity was because I resonated with the mission. Seeing the enormous impact we have on students’ lives on a daily basis makes me proud to do my job. So far we’ve generated over £180m of social impact value to the UK economy.

We’re working on disrupting access to higher education and graduate careers. The product has experienced huge user number growth during my time here and everyone in the company is always bringing new ideas to the table. The tech team move quickly and they quickly get features into user’s hands.

Zero Gravity started in a student bedroom, but has now grown into one of the UK’s fastest growing edtech startups. We’ve raised £4m of investment to scale our services to thousands of students and partner with FTSE100 corporate clients to transform their recruitment.

Zero Gravity is redefining how talent is identified and unlocked. The mission is inspiring because it’s not just about making the world fairer - it’s about ensuring that those with the talent are able to succeed. The scale provided by our digital platform means we are now supporting more students into top universities and careers every year than anyone has ever done before.

Zero Gravity is a fast-paced environment led by a dynamic, young team of tech entrepreneurs and startup specialists. Opportunities to learn are abundant because Zero Gravity is growing so fast and everyone is encouraged to be polymathic about their work - drawing on skills and expertise from other divisions & sectors. Everyone in the team also has a ‘Zero Gravity card’ which has £500 to spend on personal development resources such as books, conferences, online courses, etc. It sounds cliche, but you truly learn something new everyday!
