Humans of Zoomo: Meet Jeremy G

At Zoomo, our people are the secret sauce to our success. Zoomers are a bunch of passionate, motivated and purpose-driven individuals all working towards the same mission of transitioning every urban delivery mile in light electric vehicles. 

Our #HumansofZoomo blog series aims to shine a light on Zoomers around the business, and the different skills and roles that make Zoomo what it is today. 

In today’s #HumansofZoomo blog we catch up with Jeremy Gallegos, Product Marketing Manager. Jeremy tells us a little about his background and what he likes to get up to outside of work, the exciting projects he’s working on and his top tips for your first day at Zoomo. 

Tell us a bit about yourself?

Hey! My name is Jeremy and I am the Product Marketing Manager for Zoomo here in Sydney. I started at Zoomo around 5 months ago and have been enjoying every minute of it! I have a background in Mechanical Engineering and Marketing but have also held roles in design and product management during my career so far. Outside of work, I love sports and the outdoors - in summer I’m probably out on a hike with my dog; and in winter, I’m most likely snowboarding.
‍

What does a day in a life look like for you at Zoomo?

The awesome thing about my role at Zoomo is that no two days look alike. I get to wear a lot of hats and for someone like me who is always looking for a new challenge, that’s really cool. My work also revolves around projects, for example planning a new bike launch or pulling together a consolidated go-to-market plan, so there is always something different for me to do every day.
‍

What project are you most proud of at Zoomo?

Definitely anytime we are creating new Zoomo products - whether they be bikes, accessories or digital. Outside of that, writing my first blog and being involved in the creation of some awesome video content.
‍

What are your top tips for someone arriving for their first day at Zoomo?

Keep an open mind, be positive and get involved in everything you can.
‍

Rapid-fire round - give us the first answer that comes to mind when we ask these questions:

• Guilty pleasure TV show? Nothing beats old Top Gear re-runs. 
  ‍
• ‍Favourite toy as a child? Maybe my GameBoy.
  ‍
• ‍What's a hobby of yours that you don't tell people about? Cooking! And because I’m bad at it…
  ‍
• ‍Name a colleague at Zoomo you're in awe of. Santiago - one of the chillest people you’ll ever meet.
  ‍
• ‍What do you like about e-bikes? Vehicles have always fascinated me. That combined with the fact that e-bikes are such an emerging market and that technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace makes it really fun to see what Zoomo and other companies are doing to innovate and build towards the future.

We currently have a bunch of open roles across all markets. If you are interested in becoming a Human of Zoomo yourself, and are also keen to help us accelerate cities to carbon neutral, head to our Careers at Zoomo page.
