Vertical Builder (m/f/d)

We build property management software. We acquire property management companies across Germany and plug our software in to increase revenue and profit. 70,000+ units, 12 locations, 25+ acquired companies. In two years, we've become Germany's third-largest property manager with less than 25 full-time members at HQ.
Forget the title. If you're here for the title, leave now. We're recruiting a final senior operator for our five-person core ops team who gets their hands dirty, builds processes, and enables us to scale. We are looking for someone with the grit to build a €100M vertical from scratch.
Do Not Apply If

• You value title over the impact you're creating.
• You don't want to move to Berlin.
• You don't want to work on weekends.
