About us

At Jigsaw, we’re on a mission to transform the way professional services and financial institutions work. We do this by helping our clients organise, visualise and use their data (think Figma or Canva but for the ‘City’). Our clients include the world’s biggest consultancies, leading financial institutions and top law firms.  

Jigsaw was founded by two seasoned entrepreneurs, Stephen and Travis. This is their second venture together; their first was acquired by a US private equity firm and went on to become a billion-dollar company and a household name in professional service firms across the world. Jigsaw is now on a growth trajectory few Series A companies achieve - putting us in the top quartile SaaS companies globally. Today we proudly serve thousands of users from nearly two  hundred businesses worldwide, who love our products and use them everyday. 

But we’re only getting started! We have ambitious goals and we’re looking for talented people to help us achieve them. 

  

Why join us? 

We're not about the corporate grind; instead, we thrive on creativity, enthusiasm, and a touch of humour to make magic happen. 

We hire people with high ownership and a bias for action. Then we trust and empower them to do their best work. 

The role

You will use your initiative to discover leads, reaching out to prospects and building interest in Jigsaw.
