About eZhire

eZhire is an on-demand car rental app, that gets the car rental delivered right to the center with a tap on the mobile app. We are changing the way people get their car rentals. eZhire offers an efficient, convenient and elegant way to rent a car.

Evolving and eradicating the conventional ways of renting cars.

Saving people, the time and hassle, giving them the freedom to go wherever they want, when they want, making places more accessible and opening up more possibilities.

What We’re Looking For

• A self-starter:  We want to work with people who enjoy building things from the bottom up.  Stuff changes fast in our world so you’ll need to be highly adaptable as well as calm under pressure.
• A great advocate:  We’re looking to create new regulatory frameworks that encourage innovation and alternatives to individual car ownership/car rentals/booking sites and cabs.  You’ll need the intellectual firepower to grasp complex policy issues as well as the ability to articulate clearly and simply how eZhire is better alternative and can help improve transportation for everyone—both orally and in writing.
• A strong campaigner:  Smartphone apps are disruptive, and the interests being disrupted are deeply entrenched.  So you’ll need to put together proactive campaigns involving passengers, drivers and third parties that demonstrate there’s a better alternative to today’s outdated status quo.  That means having a bias for action in everything you do—and a willingness to engage in debates, that can often become heated.
• A team player:  Success at eZhire depends on the ability to organize different teams (internally and externally) around shared goals.  It’s why we’re looking for well-organized people who enjoy working with others to get stuff done—and who can deal with the ambiguity that sometimes comes from working cross-functionally.
