Want to prove yourself as an entrepreneur?
We’re looking for an ambitious self-starter to grow YoungOnes in the UK. City launchers will need an entrepreneurial mindset to grow their city from scratch. They’ll be the GM for their city, responsible for both demand and supply and kickstarting the growth flywheel. The ideal candidate can expect to work both on high priority strategic projects as well as getting their hands dirty on a daily basis.
YoungOnes
YoungOnes operates a two-sided marketplace that allows businesses to find freelancers for short-term and often last-minute gigs. Last year, more than 40,000 freelancers found gigs through the platform and together they worked over 5.5 million hours. With a highly profitable business in the Netherlands (>10M EUR in annual profits), we’re now expanding internationally.
Responsibilities
Joining a team of dynamic self starters you will be:
- Onboard businesses who can immediately use extra staff for temporary gigs. Show them how our product can help them solve their staffing problems

- Work with HQ to develop a strategy to scale acquisition on both sides of the marketplace
- Take on full sales responsibility for your city, and work together with a support team to kick off the launch.
- Form relationships with local press

- And throw a legendary launch party to officially announce YoungOnes’ arrival in your city.
