Why you should join VEON now
It’s midnight in London. You’re having a good time at the pub. You’re about to leave, but you realize you don’t have a ride back to your flat. The laughing stops.
All of a sudden, a message appears on your phone. It’s a free ride credits from your provider. Even better, with one tap, you have a free ride on the way (plus drinks) . You smile again at the timeliness of such an offer. Oh, how life is free and easy when technology’s doing its magic.
If something like that makes you feel great, imagine how rewarding it would be to create the technology behind it. At VEON, we’re building an intelligent platform that can do such things. The goal is to enhance the lives of our customers across the globe.
To make this vision a reality, we need folks like you. Join us — and have better tales to tell next time you’re at the pub.
We want to show you how we are already making this vision a reality NOW. (Discover all jobs here: http://bit.ly/2nMn0qQ)
1. We have 235 million customers across 12 growth markets.
Yes, you read that right. In most markets, we’re the number one or number two telco provider. For instance, in Pakistan, our brand Jazz is the leading provider with over 50 million customers.
Operating on such a massive scale means your ideas can be brought to life and experienced around the world. Every day we’re working to make the lives of our customers freer and easier. We know you want a challenge — here it is!
2. We’re starting from scratch
We’re proud of our entrepreneurial roots, which is why we still wear pioneer boots in the office (just kidding, but wear them if you want). Anyway, we’re currently transitioning from being a telco provider to a tech company. It’s quite the exhilarating ride, and it requires taking a clean-sheet approach to digital transformation.
Thomas, our product manager, has a great way to describe the excitement of creating from scratch at VEON. He says we’re punching down walls and disrupting the traditional way of doing things. We know you’re not one to let walls stop you — you’re free to tear them down here.
3. We’re building a global ecosystem
Achieving our goal involves building a global platform that is more than just a service, but also a culture, destination, and partner. We aim to be a reliable place where users can get everything done seamlessly. It’s a movement built around the concept of being truly free.
We’re already making progress. In fact, we’re live and have unveiled the VEON app in some of our key markets.
4. We’re making bold leaps
The old telco business model is dead. There’s not a nicer way to put it. Our customers need and deserve something better. That’s why we’re shredding the playbook and taking exciting risks.
For example, with zero-rating as a fundamental component of VEON’s platform, we allow our users to connect by voice, phone, picture, and video for free, regardless of their data plan. This revolutionary new internet platform puts the user in control and gives them much greater flexibility. Just think about how much this service can empower folks in emerging markets.
5. We’re a huge corporation, but we don’t act like one
Don’t expect corporate rules to cramp your style here. We behave like a startup but provide the resources of a multinational cooperation. You can research and develop your visions here — without having to stress about the usual obstacles a startup encounters. We offer the best of both worlds.
This is part of the reason Benny, a UI/UX designer and data visualization specialist, joined us. He specifically praises our commitment to hiring top talent (like you!), emphasis on technology, and focus on giving engineering and product teams space. This provides the chance to literally make magic happen. Yes, you may become a wizard here, so bring a wand.
6. We don’t believe in isolating ourselves
No company is an island. We’re making partnerships where it makes sense, and we’re doing it rapidly and at scale. We know the value of synergy — we know that 1+1=5. No, we’re not crazy. We simply believe that when organizations cooperate, what they create is much greater than anything they could do separately.
Some awesome partnerships we’ve already made include those with MasterCard, Deezer, and will.i.am. Thanks to such partnerships, our VEON platform can enrich all aspects of people’s lives, from finances and transportation to entertainment and socializing.
7. We let you play with all this technology
We value your personal growth. That’s why we’ll have you working with all this advanced technology, like artificial intelligence, big data, and neural networks (like Anton, a data scientist here, is currently doing). It’s all in an effort to create amazing experiences for our customers — the kind of moments that make you jump for joy.
Many cool things have already come about from giving our engineers, scientists, and product people the freedom to use technology to bring ideas to life. For instance, when a football match in London ends and 50,000 fans leave, we can see that 11,000 have a ride — sharing application installed. We can provide that data to our partners. Just imagine the awesome experiences that can (and are) be created from that. This is personalization at a whole new level.
Join our movement!
We’re a diverse, talented team that’s always ready to share experiences, culture, and languages. We don’t just tell stories about a better world, we use our tools to create a more beautiful tomorrow.
It’s time to drive the world forward. It’s going to be a wild yet rewarding ride. Hop on with us — and see where it takes you.
