Salary benchmarks

Our take

Lollipop is building a smart grocery shopping assistant to reduce the stress and time spent on the weekly shop. This AI-powered assistant aims to relieve several pressures around grocery shopping - helping working parents shop whilst reducing food waste.

The product will allow easy planning around recipes and needs, shopping at different supermarkets and in different formats - individual items, recipe boxes, ready-meals. The founding team has impressive experience building and scaling businesses such as Monzo and Curve, and is bringing this expertise to Lollipop.

In addition, the company is backed by investors who have been involved in the growth of organisations such as Microsoft, Graze, Bulb, and Deliveroo. Further, recent funding secured, and a new deal struck with leading grocer Sainsbury's, are positive markers for Lollipop's future. Though Lollipop is at an early stage, its growth will be tracked with anticipation as it harnesses the opportunities from changing shopping habits in this digital era.

Company benefits

Competitive salaries with generous EMI options. We believe in paying in plain sight, which is why our progression and salary framework is published publicly. You'll find our salary calculator at https://team.lollipopai.com/
We’re a small, exceptional team of around a dozen individuals with a flat hierarchy and zero bureaucracy, so you’ll work closely with everyone (including the founders) from the start
You’ll get all the tools you need to do a great job, including a MacBook Pro (or equivalent)
Everybody does hybrid working. Work life balance is super important to us, which is why we all work Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays at home. The other two days we work from Lollipop Lodge, our beautiful London Bridge riverside office and kitchens, for the magic that only happens in person. ✨ Those who live further from London only travel once a week and we’ll consider fully remote applications, though our preference is hybrid
Flexible, sustainable working hours - we have an operating principle that’s ‘Kipchoge not Bolt’
More perks as we (and you) think of them!
25 days holiday, learning and development budget, enhanced parental leave, fun socials and much more to come
