Company mission
To transform professional services through a new type of supplier - the Vico (Virtual Company).
Role
Who you are
- 4+ years experience in a professional services (consultancy, system integrator, etc.) or SAP recruitment firm. This experience must include extensive work on SAP solutions (because SAP-related services are our first vertical – see above)
- Experience in client facing communication & excellent writing skills
- University or Technical University degree with good or very good results
- Excellent communication skills - you’ll have to interact with a lot of people on a daily basis. You’re not afraid to pick up the phone and talk to someone
- A strong network in the SAP sector
- Excellent jugdment in evaluating people for their strengths and weaknesses
- Native German, fluent English (DACH is still our home market, while we expand abroad)
What the job involves
- We focus on our growth. We do this vertical by vertical. Our first vertical is SAP services, others will follow
- We are experiencing strong demand and need to scale the supply of Vicos
- This is where you come in
- As a Director in our Partner Management Team, your responsibility will be to grow the supply of Vicos, uniting the best talent
- For you and your team to do so in a scalable way, we have developed and continue to fine-tune an elaborate set of software tools and processes
- You will not only be operating at the heart of our value proposition, directly impacting our top-line growth
- You will also be a key changemaker and entrepreneurial force in the professional services industry
- You will join our Vicoland Partner management team. Your core responsibility is to scale our pool of excellent Vicos that fit for the demand side
- Our demand side is currently focused on SAP, and so must be the Vico supply. For future verticals you will roll out our solution to the supply side of more sectors
- You will actively source & manage candidates: Find, qualify and onboard them so they can build a winning Vico
- This is a people business – you will interact and communicate daily with a broad range of people
- You will support end-to-end in defining and implementing Vico building and Vico scaling strategies. You can come up with new ideas and implement them – from marketing campaigns to relationship management
- You will be daring. E. g. currently, we see a still untapped potential in winning over teams from traditional services firms (consultancies, system integrators, etc.) to form Vicos
- You will support in fine-tuning our software tool set and processes for Vico building
- You will build the Vico community. You will engage and motivate our Vicos to be active members and proactively grow on their own account
- You will co-define our overall strategy and be responsible for a set of OKRs, letting you directly impact Vicoland’s growth trajectory
Our take
The marketplace for freelancers is not only thriving but rapidly growing. Freelancers are valuable additions to the world of the digital workforce, with estimates predicting the majority of the US workforce will be freelancing by 2027.
Vicoland is setting out to build a platform focused on the growing demand for freelancers, allowing companies to use their site to source cost-effective professional teams of freelancers. Standing out from the crowd, Vicoland essentially gives freelancers the opportunity to create their own startups.
Having already secured clients such as Netlfix and Tupperware, as well as being named among the top 7 freelance marketplaces by Forrester, Vicoland has clearly got off to a promising start. While it's still in its early stages, it is tapping into an ever-growing market with high demand, and is certainly one to watch as it further develops.
