Most student ambassador roles involve handing out flyers for an established company. This role is different. You’ll be joining an ambitious startup at an early stage, meaning your ideas, initiative and work will directly influence how the business grows. You’ll have genuine responsibility from day one and the opportunity to make a lasting impact on a company built specifically to improve student renting. If you’re ambitious, enjoy meeting new people and want to help build something exciting, we’d love to hear from you.
