I enjoyed my time working to encourage more people to cycle. I had good support from the team in Bristol. Felt very on purpose for me personally (cycling being an activity that checks health, sustainability and mental well-being boxes).
I had quite a bit of freedom in my role to develop and implement a plan to engage businesses and people locally. There was also good guidance (documents and weekly calls) sharing what's worked for other people who'd done the same role in another location.
Svantaggi
This was only a short term contract role as a Local Project Manager for one of Love to Ride's projects. I would have ideally liked it to have been a full-time permanent role.
Flexible working.
Great colleagues (mostly)
Autonomous working.
Interesting work.
Svantaggi
Impulsive CEO is happy to make redundancies fast to please his board of advisors, despite the hard work and passion you give.
Poor salaries, not in line with similar industry roles.
Poor benefits package.
Commission structure still not in place after almost 2 years.
Lack of development opportunities.
