Day-to-day responsibilities? My official role is to come up with new business ideas and bring them to life. However, this can mean anything from being a club photographer to an interior designer to designing an iPhone app from scratch. The best bit is the diversity of the job.
What’s the most unusual thing you’ve done while at Unii? I got the job offer from our CEO whilst I was in a hot tub with the rest of the team, and then hosted a party for 28,000 students in Manchester that evening.
What’s the craziest thing you’ve been asked to do / or suggested you do while at Unii? I was asked if I’d travel around the world with a colleague, filming our adventures to create content for our blog and ordered 185,000 Unii- branded condoms. The two are unrelated!
What’s the most unusual place you have had to travel to? During Freshers’ Week, we travelled to 22 different unis across the country, hosting parties and generally having far too much fun for it to be considered ‘work’.
Did you ever expect to be doing such a job before you joined? I knew I wanted to start my own company or work in a start up, but I couldn’t have foreseen the breadth
‘‘We travelled to 22 different unis across
the country ’’
of experiences I’d have and the responsibility I’d get so soon after leaving uni.
How would you describe the atmosphere in the office? We’re a really young team, so in a lot of ways it’s not that different from university. There is a big emphasis on being bold and creative, so it’s definitely not for shrinking violets. Our offices really reflect that, with grass floors, a pool table and a bar.
Is everyday the same? Or do different things happen each day e.g you never know what might happen at Unii? It’s a cliché, but every day really is different.
This week, I built a two
metre tall iPhone for a secret party we threw in Cardiff, and launched Mingle (a flirting app for students).
How do you find working with other graduates? Working in a young team is great because we’re not held back by the sense of caution that experience brings. We’re willing to give anything a go. Being bold and ambitious is so important here.
