And Famly are...? … you wonder
It all began when our co-founder Henrik’s daughter was ready to start at daycare. He couldn’t believe the amount of work being done on paper - and how distant he felt from his first child during the day. With his friend, Famly’s co-founder and CEO Anders, they set about solving that.
These days, the 150 of us building Famly are trying to do two things for our 3,200 customers:
Giving children the best possible start to life.
Championing the vital work that goes into making that happen.
We do that with software that brings hundreds of thousands of parents closer to their child’s day while they’re away from them. We also make financial, pedagogical, and planning tools for more than 34,000 childcare professionals, saving them hours and reducing their admin stress.
Ultimately, that gives them more time and headspace for the little ones that really matter. Come help us make that happen.
You’ll love working here because:
We’re all about hiring clever people who are good humans too. It means Famly is full of top thinkers and generous teammates waiting to help you shine.
We like to give a lot of ownership both in terms of responsibility and freedom to try new things. We’ll get you up and running and collaborate along the way, of course.
A value of ‘make your colleagues shine’ is all about breaking down silos, celebrating one another, and staying connected across departments, offices, and oceans.
Flexible hours in a hybrid work environment. We fit work around our lives - not the other way around. If you need to work different hours sometimes or take the day from home we trust you to do just that.
A big focus on people support with personal and career development, including leadership training in a wide-variety of topics.
Interested? Let us know! We're looking to fill the position as soon as possible, so get your application in today by sending us:

A cover letter, in which you tell us about yourself and why you’re the best person for this position.
This is what our interview process looks like:

We are looking forward to hearing from you!
Famly is committed to creating a more diverse, equal, and inclusive workforce, building teams that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences.
