What we're all about

We operate as a SaaS enterprise featuring two distinct products: Spidergap and AirManual. Your primary focus will be on Spidergap, but you'll also find opportunities to contribute to both offerings.

About Spidergap

Spidergap's mission is to ease the process for organizations to foster the personal growth of their workforce. We provide a platform where employees can receive feedback, plan their development, and take meaningful action.

Since 2017, we've held the title of the top-rated 360° Feedback tool and serve thousands of organizations in over 134 countries, including giants like Samsung, 3M, Sony, NHS, European Commission, Breville, Konica Minolta, and Philips.

We recently launched an ambitious initiative to broaden our product offerings, supporting employees in all elements of their personal journey. This includes revamping our product with the latest technologies.

About AirManual

Founded in 2020, AirManual aims to assist businesses in scaling up smoothly and without stress. We offer tools for documenting and automating processes, collaborating in teams, and assessing the overall health of businesses.

Currently, we're aiding over 100 companies, including prominent names like Asahi Beer, particularly thriving within the Accountancy sector. As with Spidergap, we consistently receive exceptional endorsements.

We're actively enhancing the AirManual product to assist teams with broader challenges that contribute to stress in smaller firms, such as managing routine issues that arise in teams.

What we need

We're in search of candidates who resonate with our company values and can provide the technical expertise vital for this position.

Do your values align with ours?

We seek individuals who align with our values:

1. Impact-driven: Our growth hinges on the increased value we provide to our clients. We channel our efforts into making impactful improvements, clarifying desired outcomes right from the start. Everyone is expected to grasp why they are working on specific tasks or objectives, with clarity on how it benefits the business and our customers.
2. Proactive and reliable: Each team member can tackle problems and eliminate obstacles to growth—both individually and collectively. We swiftly highlight issues and ideas, recommending next steps. By being proactive in communication and action, we create an environment where others feel they can rely on us.
3. Detail-oriented: We believe that the quality of our work gives us a competitive edge. Great attention to detail is expected in everything we do—whether it’s drafting an email, analyzing our metrics, or designing our site. We take pride in getting the minute details right, even in internal documentation. A keen focus on detail is an ingrained attitude, not something that can be switched on and off.
4. Committed to improvement: We thrive and expand by continually seeking out opportunities to refine our solutions, processes, and ourselves. We take ownership of our errors, viewing them as chances to learn what adjustments we need to implement in our processes and tools. We empower our team to actively pursue avenues for growth and enhancement in our performance.
5. Value the journey: We maintain that health and family take precedence over work. Our approach ensures that no one feels pressured to work excessively long hours. We support each other in overcoming challenges and achieving both work and personal goals. Our positivity and enthusiasm inspire the entire team to elevate performance. We find joy in each step of the process rather than tying happiness to reaching a specific endpoint.

We don't merely declare these to be our values—they guide our choices in recruitment, performance management, recognition of good practices, and decision-making.
