eBike Delivery Rider, Oxford

  • Full-time

Company Description

Oxwash is re-engineering the laundry industry from the ground up. We aim to deliver clinically clean laundry, with net zero carbon emissions. This has never been accomplished, so we're determined to be the first truly sustainable on-demand laundry company in the world. We currently operate in Oxford, Cambridge and London (Battersea), with big plans to expand across the UK and enter the US market.

We're a tech company at heart and build our own software to power our sustainable laundries and logistics. We're venture-backed, having raised several rounds of funding from notable investors including Biz Stone, the co-founder of Twitter; Paul Forster, the founder of Indeed.com; and Reckitt, the corporate which owns the stain remover Vanish. We announced our ‘Oxwash, powered by Vanish’ partnership in early 2021.

We're looking for incredible people with the passion and skills to deliver our Oxwash mission. Working for a fast growing startup is not your standard 9-5. This may be the toughest job you've ever done, but also the most rewarding! As part of your role, we expect you to help reduce our environmental impact by becoming a role model for sustainability.

Job Description

We need permanent, full-time delivery riders to collect and deliver our laundry throughout Oxford. Riding one of our electric cargo bikes, you'll be the face of Oxwash, interacting with our valued customers and building trusting relationships through the bespoke, premium services we offer.

We'll train and support you, and in return you'll turn up day after day, no matter the weather, ready to do whatever it takes to deliver on time, every time. Things will change by the minute and being willing to adapt to those changes is a fundamental part of the job.

We're a small but growing team, so enthusiasm and a willingness to muck in are key. When you're not busy riding you'll help process laundry, or assist with office roles like customer service, sales and social media.

This role has a route to progress to a Lead Rider or Fleet Manager role, or to another role in the company if you show potential.

Qualifications

Requirements:

  • Must live within 1 hour's travel of Oxford.
  • Must be able to ride a bicycle, and love it!

Desirable Experience:

  • Courier or other delivery work, especially on a cargo bike or ebike
  • Customer service or hospitality work
  • Sales work
  • Management or supervisory roles

Additional Information

We will only consider your application if you include a personalised message explaining your interest in the role.
