Company is an online services marketplace connecting customers with professionals across over 1,000 categories. Operating in nine countries including the UK, US, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, we're transforming how people find trusted service providers for everything from home improvement to professional services.
Our platform uses cutting\-edge technology to match customers with the right professionals quickly and efficiently. We're currently undergoing an exciting transformation: migrating from a lead generation model to a full marketplace platform with subscription based pricing.
As a profitable, PE backed scale up (EMK Capital), Company offers the best of both worlds: the agility and innovation of a fast moving business combined with financial stability and resources for growth. We recently launched our new marketplace model in Australia (Q4 2025\) and are preparing for rollout to the UK and US markets in 2026\. You'll have genuine ownership, responsibility, and the opportunity to shape our commercial strategy during a pivotal transformation phase with the chance to make your own contribution to our journey.
