Metro, work, solo? Not at Smart! Here, we break the codes of work to invent new ones, fairer, more flexible, more humane. 🚀

Since 1998, Smart has been a nugget in the employment landscape: a company shared by thousands of members who pool their resources to secure their professional activity... while keeping their freedom of enterprise. 🎯

Isn't it innovative to work within the same company whose ownership is shared, as well as governance, legal personality and tools and services? 🤩 Social protection, legal assistance, invoicing, accounting, training, personalized support, access to a network of shared workspaces... Everything is designed so that members can concentrate on their job, with less administrative stress. These are valuable resources for a whole collective, made up of thousands of people active in a wide variety of sectors. In a collaborative atmosphere, Smart makes it possible to combine the social protection linked to the employee with an autonomous entrepreneurial dynamic ! 👌

Smart is a hybrid, inspiring, resolutely committed model: no hunt for profits, but a real cooperative dynamic where each member is an actor in the project. Offices are open in 8 cities in Belgium, with a head office located in the Saint-Gilles district of Brussels, where several associations rent premises and where collective workspaces are accessible, as well as a sublime garden (labeled Natagora). 🌾 

Joining Smart means joining a committed cooperative that places solidarity, cooperation and responsibility at the heart of its operation. It is also a collective project focused on the future of work, which questions traditional models and explores fairer, inclusive and democratic ways of organizing. 

As you can see, if you want to actively contribute to this change by participating in a cooperative that places economic initiative leaders at the center of its daily life... You've come to the right place! 🌱

A taste of the team

Smart - image d'équipe - Meet My Job

Smart is an ecosystem with artists, graphic designers, trainers, consultants, cooks, developers... In short, a great diversity of professions, backgrounds and talents! And to accompany all these people, a competent and caring support team, spread over 8 offices across Belgium.

If we had to sum up the corporate culture, in 3 words? Participatory, creative and festive ! The highlight of the celebration is the General Assembly in June, an event that brings together all the members for a very serious time of assessment and voting and a time of celebration that is a little less so. 🥳 Not to mention the green days to take a breather and reconnect, as well as the annual staff party! So many moments that bring people together and give a smile, a real boost to everyday life !

In terms of values, Smart focuses on solidarity, autonomy and transparency. Its operation is based on internal democracy, a Diversity plan and a real attention to the well-being of members. Here, we share struggles, ideas, solutions and victories! 🎉

So if you like projects that make sense, collectives that dare to shake up the lines and the richness of the links created... You are very likely to find your tribe. 😉 Want to join Team Smart? Check out their job offers! 🚀
