If you want to be part of a team that is transforming the way consumers navigate their household services, we would love to hear from you.

About the Role

The People team at RVU is tasked with helping our employees to thrive. We aim to ensure each employee fulfils their personal and professional goals while contributing to the ongoing success of the wider business.
