To give work a more sustainable place in our lives.
Role
Who you are
- You’re able to commit to at least 16 hours per week with us (Monday to Saturday), as this will help you hit the ground running and be most effective in this role. You can take on additional shifts if you like, and we’re flexible with working hours, so you could do this over two days, or four - whatever works best!
- So that we can support you during your first few weeks of training, you’ll need to work hours that overlap with our working week (Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm) but after this, we’ll be able to offer more flexibility
- We’re open to background for this role. We think it could be an excellent position for someone who is currently studying, re-entering the workforce or looking for a part-time position alongside a personal project
- You’ve got a great eye for detail, and are organised and diligent in your daily work
- You get a kick out of hitting or exceeding targets, and supporting others to do the same
- You’re quick to learn new and unfamiliar things, whether that’s about new processes and systems, or about the nuances of job roles at different companies
- You’re a team player, skilled at communicating with others and ensuring everyone is on the same page
- You’re comfortable with uncertainty, and enjoy being a part of change
- You're comfortable using a framework to make quick decisions, knowing when to ask for clarification
- The qualifications and experiences above act as a loose guide to what we’re looking for. We’d still love to hear from you if you have more or less experience, so long as the core skills can be demonstrated
- You'll need to be available for training from the 14th March 2022
- You'll need a laptop with a good (5mb/s) internet connection
- We are only able to accept applications from candidates based in the UK
What the job involves
- You’ll be joining our newly formed remote Job Operations team, who are in charge of ensuring we always have the best roles available for candidates on the platform
- We’re growing fast as we scale up our operations in the UK and USA. This means priorities will change and you should be comfortable with this, though there are core responsibilities in your role that will keep you busy:
- On a day to day basis, you’ll be responsible for setting up and tagging job posts on the platform. We manually curate and format every job on Otta, and you’ll quickly become an expert at different job functions and their requirements. This involves reading and interpreting job descriptions, and then inserting this information into our custom platform
- From time to time, you’ll also have the opportunity to work on other projects that help to deliver value to candidates (like helping us to source salary benchmarks or update our company profiles)
- We’ll provide you with training and support at the start and throughout your time with us to ensure you’re set up for success
- This role is initially available as a 6 month contract
Application process
- Apply via Otta
- Complete a quick task where we’ll get a feel for how you work (30 minutes)
- Values interview (30 minutes)
- Offer
Our take
Looking for a job is a frustrating experience. It’s incredibly hard to find a good match. Job adverts lack useful information like salary and diversity data. Companies sometimes never respond. Welcome to the Jungle aims to make finding a job in tech less soul crushing.
In January 2024, Otta merged with Welcome to the Jungle. Our ambition is to become a global leader in the world of work, and help candidates and companies find each other through our job matching, recruiter solutions including employer brand, and media.
Welcome to the Jungle believes in a future of work based on the power of matching and is obsessed with helping people find exciting and meaningful work.

Company values
- You're Welcome - Individually we are our true selves. As a team we are united by purpose. It means we prioritise team success over personal achievements while staying authentic. We create a welcoming, inclusive environment where we're ready to help others and demonstrate humility, building a culture of mutual trust and support.
- Place Your Bets - We believe in taking chances. We’ll always choose a bold decision with great potential rewards over playing it safe. This value is about decision making and the fight against inertia.
- What would it take to learn faster? - Speed of iteration typically beats quality of iteration. We move fast when it helps us learn faster - we feel safe taking risks, finding smart shortcuts, or shipping experiments
- What could exceptional look like? Our standards are high, and there are moments where it's worth pushing them further. We're comfortable asking hard questions to explore how to make something exceptional

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Welcome to the Jungle (formerly Otta)
Claudia Gallon (People Partner)
- Though we’re quite early in our journey, our employees are starting to roll out initiatives that help us to better understand and empathise with each other and the world around us. We collect meaningful data in our onboarding survey, conduct privilege awareness workshops as part of employee onboarding, and anonymise tasks during interview processes to eliminate bias. Diverse employees make for an inclusive product.
- We’re committed to a feedback-driven and transparent culture, as we work to make a workplace where everyone feels welcome and all voices are heard. An environment where conversations between socially different people are seen as opportunities to learn, anticipate alternative viewpoints, and generally grow our business.
- We’re continually iterating our product to do better. We collect meaningful diversity data from companies to inform candidates about gender split and we create transparency through sharing salary ranges. We’re thankful for the opportunity to listen to and learn from our candidates.
- Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are integral to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace. Our Women’s Group, LGBTQIA+ Group, Disability Group, and Black Employee Network provide vital support and advocacy, creating spaces for connection, growth, and empowerment. Through these ERGs, we celebrate diversity and ensure every employee can bring their whole self to work.
