Ride with Pride at Heetch

We’re all about building a diverse, inclusive team where everyone feels safe, seen and celebrated. Different backgrounds, perspectives, and vibes? Bring it on. That’s how we grow.

And hey — studies show some people (especially women and early‑career folks) hold back from applying unless they tick every single box. Don’t do that. If this role sparks something in you, but you’re not sure you match everything — apply anyway. We care about potential, mindset, and energy just as much as experience.

Everyone’s welcome on the Ride
