Bower is a bold and visionary, yet down-to-earth and heart-centered, tech company
based in Stockholm.
Bower is aiming to become the first impact tech unicorn in Sweden, helping +1B
consumers make sustainable choices by rewarding them for doing the right thing.
In partnership with companies such as Nestlé, L’Oréal and Unilever the Bower app
allows users to scan everything with a barcode; from milk cartons to crisp packages
and get money, coupons or discounts when taking the packaging to a recycling
point. In return, the companies get invaluable insights about their consumers.
The app is one of the most popular apps in Sweden today. Bowers’ 300,000 users in
the Nordic region recycle more than 1.4 million packages every month, and the
platform has so far contributed to saving over 1,000 tonnes (1 million kg) of CO2.
The UK and US are this year’s upcoming target markets, and this expansion will be
an important step on the way to achieving the company’s goal of a world free from
garbage.
The team is growing at a rapid rate, and as part of the original team you will be a
driving force to accelerate the growth even further. If you want a workplace where
you’ll be free to be yourself, laugh without limits, and be part of a team where the
members care about each other – while doing good for the planet?
Then Bower is the place for you
