Would you like to have the career-defining opportunity to take one of Denmark's fastest growing scaleups to the Netherlands, and help completely change the way homes, offices and shops are managed?
We're looking for a Dutch-speaking talent to join us in launching and growing our business in the Netherlands! Ideally, you have 2-3 years of experience with commercial Customer Success or sales and a burning desire to learn and grow.
Proper is more than efficient property management. Proper is a seal of quality, safety and reliability. Our service is a lean and automated process for landlords and tenants – providing transparency and trust in the rental market. We want the renting experience to be favorable. The process of renting out properties should be simple and tenants should feel at home. We scaled more than 30% MOM for 18 months and received our Seed round early 2020. Now we’re preparing for our Series A with the aim of reaching multiple countries and +100K tenancies.
As Propers market launcher in the Netherlands, you will be “our lead in the trenches”, and fight the good fight of helping the Dutch people in getting a better renting experience. Your overall mission is to build up domain knowledge, sell Proper to landlords and handle all dialogue with onboarded landlords and tenants - all with assistance from the rest of the Proper team.
You will be fully responsible for the success and timeliness of building up Proper in the Netherlands. Furthermore, you have to help us build out the Proper expansion playbook further, with the other market launchers, to make future country launches even faster and more successful
Your primary responsibilities and tasks will be:
Sell Proper to inbound leads
Onboard customers
Handling incoming customer support from landlords and tenants
Helping in adapting the product to the local market
Proactively maintain your pipeline using our CRM (Hubspot)
Furthermore, you will be in charge of building up local domain knowledge and getting insights from relevant stakeholders, e.g. interest groups, lawyers, accountants etc.
Your biggest challenges will be to figure out how to sell Proper to the landlords, understand how we need to adapt the product to the Dutch market and run the administration.
You have an entrepreneurial mindset and you are eager to take the next steps - launching Proper in a new country is almost like launching your own startup and requires a determination to “hustle” and get things done. You will be reporting directly to the two co-founders of Proper, so see yourself as a one-man SWAT team with a direct line to the commander in chief, i.e an opportunity to jumpstart your career.
We are looking for a colleague with a broad skill-set. As a market launcher, you ought to excel in a broad range of tasks so a generalist mentality and a curious mindset will get you far as you are to sell, support, report and manage all processes. You are the type of person who always finds new boundaries to cross. We have removed the red tape in order to get things done quickly - so if you find a problem, you own the solution.
Furthermore we hope you can tick of many of the bullets here:
Speak Dutch fluently, English very well, and preferably also Danish
Are from the Netherlands or have lived there long enough to understand the culture
Are willing to make Propers mission your mission and are ready to put a lot of hard work into making Proper a success
A hands-on mentality and are willing to get your hands dirty
Proven ability to thrive in a fast-moving, team-oriented, collaborative environment.
Excellent communication skills: collaborate effectively across internal teams and work with external stakeholders, interest groups and businesses
Fast-paced and goals-oriented work suits you. You will need to hit ambitious goals and deliver results continuously
You are ambitious, self-driven and see challenges as opportunities to shine
Moreover, you are a team player. We want to build a winning organisation that achieves great results together and we have no room for sharp elbows, politics, or egos in Proper. If you also have experience with the real estate industry and/or have experience with launching products in other countries, you will definitely be moved to the top of our list.
Besides offering a leading role and a lot of influence in one of the fastest growing scaleups in Denmark, we offer you:
Ownership in Proper through our warrant program
Salary based on qualifications and results
Steep learning curve from day one by having full ownership of your projects
Great opportunity to build something you are proud of
