About Ukio |

Ukio’s mission is to empower individuals to live where they want, when they want 🌎.

We do this by disrupting the traditional residential real estate market, providing fully furnished and artfully designed apartments for stays starting at one month. We remove all the hassle around finding a rental with no long-term contracts, moving/buying furniture, security deposits, broker fees, etc. giving choice and flexibility to allow people to live where and when they want. 💥

We are a Barcelona based startup with offices in Madrid, Lisbon, Berlin and Paris! and soon we will conquer some more cities across Europe 🚀

Backed by Europe's best Venture Capital firms, the next year will be a critical phase in our growth as we look to further build out our team and expand into multiple new markets 🔥 . We have successfully raised a Series A investment round that will help propel our growth throughout Western Europe. 🥇

Our Culture |

We honor diversity, compassion, and honesty above all else in our team. We’ve already got a great mix of dedicated, collaborative, and results-driven people and are looking for more like minded folks to join our team. In true startup fashion, we always embrace the unknown and grant full autonomy to our team members to act as the owners of their projects and tasks. We are creators who embrace dynamic environments and take on and build up projects from scratch.

Our team is composed of everyone from foodies to athletes, adventure seekers to art buffs. We know fun, and we always have a team event on our calendars, so are you ready to join us?

Role |

We are looking for a highly hands on Head of Sales & Partnerships to lead from the front, owning team performance while directly driving revenue and strategic partnerships.

This is not a purely strategic role. You will be deeply involved in execution: coaching reps, joining client meetings, supporting the team in the field, and personally developing the company’s most important commercial relationships.

This role is ideal for someone who has successfully built and scaled a B2B revenue engine inside a business that is primarily B2C focused. You understand how to create process, accountability, and commercial momentum in an emerging B2B function without losing speed or ownership.

Our B2B sales motion is relationship driven and closer to a traditional sales cycle than a SaaS onboarding model. Success will come from being present in the market, building trust with corporate partners, growing existing accounts, and increasing share of wallet through strong in person relationships and repeat business.

You will be expected to spend 30% to 40% of your time in the field with potential clients, existing partners, and members of your team.
