About Reposit

Reposit is a fintech company founded with the mission to improve the rental industry for Agents, Landlords and Tenants. Our core product is an innovative alternative to costly and clunky cash deposits. With Reposit landlords get more protection, agents generate additional revenues, and tenants save money upfront – only having to pay our fee of 1 week’s rent instead of the 5 weeks’ needed for a cash deposit.

Since our launch, we have partnered with hundreds of estate agents, property managers and build-to-rent companies who promote our product to tenants & landlords across the country. We also integrate with leading software providers to the industry, such as tenant referencing and CRM companies.

We are a remote-first company but meet-up monthly to work together and socialise.

What it’s like to work at Reposit

We are a lean team building a robust and sustainable business. Not just a hype machine. We care about delivering on Reposit’s mission for our customers. Being a startup we need to be agile and move fast. We also understand that it is a marathon that requires patience and resilience to achieve success in the long run.

As a remote-first company, it is essential that we have a team of self‑motivated people who can work productively on their own as well as keeping in frequent communication with the wider business. We encourage team members to take an interest and learn about our business as a whole.

We value people who are proactive in making their work and team more efficient in order to leverage their impact on the business. We believe our team should be empowered to make their own decisions and choose the best way to solve problems. We love to look at the data and see the impact of our hard work. If something doesn’t work, we learn and move on. No blame.

We are a friendly and down to earth bunch and enjoy getting together either remotely or in person to keep that team spirit strong. We meet‑up in person each month, with more regular remote socials.

We cringe at politics and much prefer frank and honest conversation. We encourage open communication across the company, and have a weekly “all-hands” to support this. Although we understand that culture evolves and it can be oversimplifying to codify it into a handful of words, here are some things we look for in all Reposit team members:

• You care: When you engage in doing something, you demonstrate genuine care for the quality of your work, your teammates, and ultimately the success of the business in delivering for customers and achieving its mission.
• You embrace challenge: You thrive on being challenged and seek opportunities to push yourself. You are a problem solver and enjoy the satisfaction of overcoming obstacles. As a result, you lean towards situations with a level of uncertainty or higher risk and reward.
• You are proactive and self‑driven: You take initiative and don’t require constant guidance or instruction. You are able to anticipate needs and take action before being told.
• You collaborate: You work collaboratively within your team and with other teams in the business to achieve the best results in the most efficient way. You are conscious of the impact that our work has on other people and considerate of other people’s time and responsibilities. Importantly you are able to adapt and work well with others, even those who have different communication and work styles to your own.

If this sounds like you, it’s likely that you will fit in well!
