Acquisitions Support Consultant

**About us**

We are a first-of-its-kind business that uses patented products backed by artificial intelligence, all specifically designed to help you buy right and sell smart.

We do this by developing novel approaches and products that solve difficult challenges. This requires a blend of tech, financial and auto thinking. We've already developed something globally unique (see our website), and we have a solid pipeline of other ideas. It's our nature to experiment and innovate, both in products and customer experience.

We are a consumer brand and aspire to provide our customers with an exceptional experience both when selling or buying in a rational, transparent and fair manner. We accept that not everyone is our customer and we must not provide our services to customers whose expectations are unrealistic.

**Why us**

If you work with us, you'll be working side-by-side with a professional and experienced business team who share a passion for excellence. We are a young, growing business and are ambitious - we've built businesses before. One thing we can guarantee is that we will keep you stimulated and growing. We're doing interesting new things and we would hope you contribute and bring your own insights and ideas.

Culture-wise we are looking for people with real self-discipline, integrity and sound judgment. We're always open to ideas and criticism and we argue concepts robustly, but not personally. We're hardworking; meticulous where it matters, pragmatic where it doesn't. We're a hands-on bunch, so if your preference is for a comfortable ivory tower, we’re not for you. We are a growing business so change at every level is constant - if you want absolute structure and stability, we’re not for you.

Our brand values are solid - we adopt a customer-friendly approach that is certainly something different in our industry. We are rational and are always fair in our judgement. We're willing to take pain to achieve outcomes that are balanced and fair.
