Choosing your next job isn’t just about responsibilities — it’s about finding a place where your ideas are valued, your growth is supported, and your work has real impact. At whataventure, we’re proud to offer more than a job. We offer an environment where people learn, lead, and build together.

‍

A Culture We Build Together

Culture isn’t something handed down — it’s something we build every day, together. Each team member plays a part in shaping it through how we collaborate, support one another, and live our values.

Our values guide how we work and grow:

  • We are entrepreneurial. We think like founders — hands-on, proactive, and focused on making things happen.
  • We are quality-oriented. Good work isn’t enough. We go the extra mile to deliver exceptional results.
  • We are transparent. Clear communication and honest feedback — with clients and with each other — are key to how we build trust.
  • We evolve strengths. We grow by playing to our strengths and supporting one another in building new ones.
  • We constantly improve. We see every challenge as a learning opportunity and every mistake as a stepping stone.
  • We are whataventure. Culture is a team sport — and we all contribute to making it stronger.

‍

How We Work

Our project teams are small, agile, and built for impact — typically 3 to 8 venture architects and analysts, mixed to combine different skills and perspectives. We work in a hybrid setup: sometimes from the office, sometimes from home, and often on-site with clients, depending on what each project needs.

When you’re not on a client project, you’ll have the chance to contribute to strategic topics through our squad system — cross-functional teams focused on areas like people & culture, innovation, or internal tools and methods.

Growth and Learning

At whataventure, development isn’t just encouraged — it’s embedded in how we work.

From day one, you’ll be paired with a development lead, receive regular feedback, and take part in 360° reviews. We host Smart Sessions (our internal knowledge-sharing format), team-wide learning days, and interactive workshops that let you step back, reflect, and grow alongside your team.

You’re also encouraged to shape your own path — whether that’s leading a squad initiative, introducing a new validation approach in a project, mentoring junior team members, or sharing your expertise to help others build new skills.

‍

Balance and Benefits

Great work happens when people have space to recharge. That’s why we offer home office days, remote-friendly policies, and an extra week of vacation to support your well-being.

One of our favorite rituals? what a Vacation — our annual team retreat where strategy meets sunsets, and learning meets laughter.

We share daily team lunches and come together for monthly team events — designed to strengthen collaboration, spark new ideas, and simply enjoy time as a team.
