Company mission
To transform professional services through a new type of supplier - the Vico (Virtual Company).
Role
Who you are
- Entrepreneurship – we’re growing fast, and so will you. You must be a fast learner and keen to work on new challenges every day
- University degree with very good results
- Excellent communication skills – you will have to interact with a lot of people daily. You easily pick up the phone and talk to someone
- Strong team spirit and capability to interact internally and externally with different people spanning the tech, sales, services and financial spheres
- Excellent judgment in evaluating people and organizations for their strengths and weaknesses as well as our strategic fit with them
- Excellent German and English (DACH is still our home market, while we expand abroad)
What the job involves
- You will join our Business Development 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 Netflix 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 develops further.
