About Collective

Collective is building a benefits solution fit for the gig economy. 

The way we work is fundamentally changing with gig workers representing a significant and growing market in the UK and abroad. There are currently over 5 million gig workers in the UK, 33 million in the EU and 55 million in the USA.  Whilst gig work comes with many advantages, it leaves many people underserved regarding their financial wellness compared to their employed peers. We’re on a mission to fix this. 

Company Status & Culture

We’re a venture backed start-up with a big vision, grand ambitions and driven by purpose. 

Our founding team consists of respected entrepreneurs and operators who have founded and exited businesses and held senior positions at some of the best companies in the world including Aviva, Songkick, Uber, Virgin and Zomato.

We’re a warm, diverse and passionate group primarily based out of Collective HQ in Central London but with some members based remotely. You’ll be made to feel at home straight away, regardless of your location, and join a supportive, considerate and loyal team that encourages responsibility.
