About us:
InPlace is a B2B SaaS platform for work-integrated learning and clinical placements. Our software helps students complete their degrees and enter the workforce with real-world experience. We serve education and healthcare organisations across ANZ, UK/EU, North America and the Middle East. The easier we make our users' work, the greater our impact on health, education, engineering and other industries, improving the employability of students everywhere.
Product teams work in squads that pair product and design with engineering. Each squad is empowered to act fast. Squads fix issues quickly and build new features from market feedback in parallel. Every squad uses AI tools, and we share AI wins across squads.
InPlace values people who deliver outcomes over activity, bring real expertise, stay calm and focused, communicate straight up, step up to do more, ask for and give help, and just get on with it.
