Roleshare is a London provider of a matching and management platform for sharing a job that matches professionals to co-apply and share full-time roles. Co-founded by Sophie Smallwood and David Smallwood, the company focuses on enabling enterprises to retain and redeploy women and employees from diverse backgrounds seeking greater flexibility. Its system matches complementary skills to share mid- to senior-level jobs and also offers a fractional talent community to share roles. Roleshare has pilot programs with clients including JP Morgan, BP, and Alphabet's X Moonshot Factory. The company raised $1.2M in Seed funding and intends to use the proceeds to accelerate its technology platform and product development. It also plans to expand its sales and marketing efforts into new markets. Roleshare runs a talent marketplace that pairs professionals so they can co-apply and share one full-time role, making senior and strategic positions more "part-time-able." The platform lets individuals post their existing jobs for free while companies can list roles for a fee, providing talent liquidity for enterprises. The startup says it will build a global rolesharing marketplace and is committed to launching with large multi-sector organizations. Roleshare cites a U.K. study it says shows job-sharing employees are 30% more productive and argues the model improves diversity, skills and business continuity. Founders highlight a team with backgrounds at PayPal, Facebook and eBay and position the product as a way for companies to retain top talent while bringing in new hires. The company has attracted backing from European and U.K.-based angel investors as it scales the product.
