Careers At Day Smart Software

Current job opportunities are posted here as they become available.

At Slick, a Day Smart company, we've built a smart booking platform and digital business partner for salons and barbers that is revolutionising how industry professionals interact with technology to improve their workflow and enhance their customers’ experience.

Today, 65% of salons still use pen & paper to run their business and only 10% of bookings are made online. Compare that to how you book taxis, hotels & restaurants! The beauty sector has yet to be transformed by technology and it is our mission to change that.

We’ve taken a unique approach, being 100% customer focused, only building what works for salons, and our NPS score of 86 is a testament to the success of our strategy. Since launch in 2019, we’ve built a best in class product that is used by over 2000 UK salons, having taken over 20 million bookings, and we’re the only platform to have partnerships with L’Oréal, Meta and Stripe giving us huge credibility in the industry and a unique advantage over competitors.
