Freelance Quality Field Consultant

About tiney We're building a platform that enables people to open and run their own home-based childcare businesses, allowing passionate early years educators to focus more energy on the children, enjoy doing what they love, and spend less time on the complex business admin and compliance that comes with the job. We launched in early 2020, have raised Series A funding from top European investors. We're at an exciting stage of growth — we have over 800 registered childcare providers in England and we're processing over £15M per annum of childcare payments through our platform. We believe we have a truly sustainable business model with real revenues and a clear path to profitability. We have global ambitions and believe that the key to our success will be exceptional technical and product execution. Our vision is to make the entire customer experience of choosing and buying childcare, and managing a childcare business, to be as seamless, joyful and safe as modern digital consumers have come to expect. Childcare is a famously hard sector to crack, but at tiney we believe our unique team, business model and regulatory/market conditions make us the ideal candidates to have an unprecedented impact.
