Role
Who you are
- Growth Mindset: You see challenges as opportunities and value continuous learning
- Resilience: You view setbacks as temporary and bounce back stronger
- Action-Oriented: You transform ideas into tangible outcomes and consistently meet (or beat) deadlines
- Team Player: You thrive in a collaborative environment, value diverse perspectives, and contribute positively to team dynamics
- Commitment: You understand that operational excellence requires flexibility, reliability, and a hands-on mindset
- First Principles Mindset: You dissect every situation, problem, or idea down to its root causes. You seek truth without compromise, avoiding personal bias or external influence
- Analytical: You leverage data to monitor performance, assess priorities, and weigh pros and cons of potential projects
- Fluency in English is essential. Although we often speak French in person, all our internal communications and Slack conversations happen in English
What the job involves
- We’re a tight-knit group of driven individuals who believe in learning by doing and fostering continuous growth
- As part of the FR Operations Management team, your mission is to distill a vision for operations that aligns with the company’s business plan, and develop a resilient system performing at its maximal potential
- We thrive on open, honest feedback, because we see mistakes as stepping stones to innovation. Within our team, every project is a chance to refine our processes and deliver outstanding results. If you flourish in an environment where collaboration, ownership, and continuous improvement are at the forefront, you’ll fit right in here
- Lead and Execute: Take ownership of projects from concept to completion, ensuring timely and high-quality deliverables
- Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with stakeholders—product, data, sales teams, other operations teams, and others—to align efforts and maximize impact
- Innovate and Iterate: Proactively seek improvements, test new ideas, and share learnings to help the team evolve
- Mentor and Learn: Provide constructive feedback to peers, embrace growth opportunities, and encourage a culture of continuous development
- You’ll be a key driver in managing our Conquest business line, which partners with outsourced sales forces across the Maghreb region to expand our services. Travel is woven into the team’s DNA, offering the chance to connect with partners, explore new markets, and drive meaningful results on the ground
- Track Sales Performance: Monitor daily results to ensure targets are met and stay one step ahead of emerging challenges
- Partner Engagement: Maintain regular communication with our external teams to steer activity, share insights, and resolve issues
- Facilitate Reviews: Plan and co-lead weekly and monthly performance discussions with all stakeholders, aligning everyone on key objectives
- Streamline Project Management: Collaborate with internal teams (Quality, SalesOps, etc.) and partners to keep initiatives on track and drive improvements
- Oversee P&L: Monitor and forecast the business line’s P&L, ensuring sustainability and growth
- You’ll work under Ghita, who leads the Conquest team, and Jacques, our Head of Operations—both will offer oversight and support as you deliver these high-impact outcomes

Our take
Papernest helps customers manage their utility bills and subscriptions via its online platform. It predominantly focuses on streamlining the administration involved in moving house, like changing or cancelling water bills and gym registrations, with an additional service that works like a more conventional price comparison site for utilities like internet and gas. It is providing a much-needed service in what's proven to be an interestingly narrow and non-competitive niche.
The company so far has been partnering with real estate agency referrals to bring new customers on board. So the boom in people changing homes over the last few years is likely to have played strongly in Papernest’s favour. It has leveraged a strategic partnership with open banking firm Tink, using the company’s broader European coverage to springboard into more geographies.
Papernest seems something of a rare find: a solution that neatly resolves a large and material problem, that’s proven hugely popular, and yet that hasn’t inspired a flurry of would-be competitors. With the housing market still relatively hot, and mid-term moves inspired by the growing digital-nomad lifestyle still on the rise, Papernest seem to be in a rosy position. If it gets too rosy though, it may have to watch its back.
