General Manager - Paris, France - Temper

Description

_Launching Temper from scratch in Paris_:

Temper - this is us

Want to help tens of thousands of people to adjust work to their life as opposed to the other way around? We are on a mission to make the labor market more fair, accessible, and efficient by transforming it through technology.

The next generation of workers want to be able to work at the tap of a button. With more flexibility, better earnings and more control. And that is exactly what our tech-enabled shift-based platform provides. We empower people with opportunity.

At Temper, you have the opportunity to make an impact.

One of our most important values is that we all own it (quite literally as you will see in our equity plan).

This means we ask you to step up and take responsibility to bring Temper to the next level.

In the end, we strongly believe we will only be successful as long as we have relentless focus on our users.

We pride ourselves in saying that we always do it for them.
The foundation of any good business lies in the relationships we build together.

Our goal is to connect people and provide our clients with a tool that enables them to easily get in touch with job seekers who are looking for their new adventure.

Our Unique Culture is embodied by the great group of talent that has joined over the past years.

A diverse bunch of people (17 different nationalities), some of which work from our office with a bar in Amsterdam while others work fully remote (10 countries and counting).

Make sure to ask them during the process what they believe makes working at Temper so rewarding.
