Life at Elvie; Meaningful Work, Exceptional People 

We're Elvie. We create smart technology products, new solutions for women’s health issues, and a fair few taboo-busting conversations while we’re at it. Founded by Tania Boler in 2013, we develop extraordinary innovations with a mission to empower women through radical female-first technology.

You’ll be surrounded by people who want to improve everything and everyone around them. People who are driven to solve problems and challenge assumptions to get to something new and extraordinary - which will improve the health and wellbeing of women.

We nurture a culture that is as progressive as our mission. We live by four Elvie Tenets which encourage people to show up in the right way, every day:

• We bust the norms: we always start with ‘why’. We are problem solvers and unbridled thinkers. 
• We’re straight up: we communicate honestly, clearly and directly. We are transparent with ourselves and others, even when it’s not easy. 
• We’re relentlessly curious: we're not just open-minded towards each other, but also to new ideas. We value building broad, diverse and inclusive teams.
• We’re united by purpose: just like an Elvie product, we are greater than the sum of our parts. We share one mission and help each other to achieve it.
