The Company

The Plum Guide is building a marketplace of the world’s best short-term rental homes.

We are taking a systematic approach to testing every single home on the planet, accepting only the top 1%. We do so by putting each home through The Plum Test: a gruelling hospitality exam, which uses a mix of algorithms and physical visits by hospitality experts.

We launched three years ago in London. We are now in 12 cities across 9 countries, we have vetted over 100,000 homes and are on track to reach over £25M in annualised sales. We are backed by an all-star cast investor group including Local Globe (TransferWise, Citymapper), Alex Chesterman (Founder of Zoopla), William Reeve (Founder of Love Film), Alex Saint and Troy Collins (Founders of Secret Escapes), Jason Goodman (Founder of Albion) and many more.

We are launching our global rollout strategy and growing our exceptional team.

The Mission

To support the Sales and Account Management teams to ensure they meet their ambitious sales and supply targets.

The Role

We have an ambitious plan to turbocharge our Spanish markets’ supply growth through 2019 / 2020 - and that’s where you come in as Marketplace Coordinator. We’re looking for an ambitious and entrepreneurial graduate who is excited by the prospect of kick-starting their career in a fast-paced, global Series B startup. As our Marketplace Coordinator, you’ll be responsible for pitching to B2C prospects, coordinating and scheduling home tests and photoshoots, delivering feedback to hosts and overseeing the production of the listings. You’ll be the main point of contact for hosts and property managers, and will be co-responsible for the number and quality of listings that go live.

Whilst there will be the opportunity to work on other special projects, essentially your role is all about ensuring that our daily, weekly and monthly targets for onboarding new homes and hosts are met. This is a fantastic role to be introduced to the exciting work we’re doing here at The Plum Guide, and has every opportunity for fast progression within our team.

Please note, for this role it is an absolute requirement to have fluent or professional working language skills in Spanish.

Background

The Plum Guide is building a marketplace of the world’s best holiday homes. For real!

We are taking a systematic and obsessive approach to testing every single home on the planet, and accepting only the top 1%.

We launched 18 months ago in London. Since, we have vetted over 80,000 homes and on track to reach over £10m in annualised sales. We are backed by an all-star cast investor group including Local Globe (TransferWise, OneFineStay, Citymapper), Alex Chesterman (Founder of Zoopla), William Reeve (Founder of Love Film), Alex Saint and Troy Collins (Founders of Secret Escapes), Errol Damlin (Founder of Wonga) Jason Goodman (Founder of Albion) and many more.

We recently closed our Series A round of funding and are now taking Plum global. We launched Paris in March and now have Rome, Milan, New York & Los Angeles in our sights...

The Role

To launch a new city we need a collection of amazing homes and this role is part of a London based team hunting down the best hosts with the most beautiful homes in all of the six cities we now operate in.

There’s a light & a dark side to this role.

On one hand, it’s an unparalleled opportunity to become a start-up expert. You will learn how a start-up plans to open a city, executes, and builds digital products.

If you love it & prove your value, there will be the opportunity of a permanent role at the end of the 3 months.

On the other hand, we have ridiculously high standards and we’ve not launched 4 cities simultaneously before - things will get intense, and not everything will go to plan. You’ll need to be driven, motivated by a challenge and have a hunger for sales to enjoy this ride.

Relevant qualities

This is our wish-list. If you were everything on it, we’d worry that you weren’t real!

You’re a great people person and engage in conversation easily
You’re good at reading people and flexing your style to suit
You love goals, numbers, and get a thrill from beating targets
You’re ridiculously well organised
You’re hugely determined and willing to stick at a task until you succeed

ABOUT US

The Plum Guide is building a marketplace of the world’s best holiday homes. For real!

We are taking a systematic and obsessive approach to testing every single home on the planet, and accepting only the top 1%.

We do so by putting every home through The Plum Test: a gruelling hospitality exam, which uses a mix of algorithms and physical visits by hospitality experts.

We are currently closing our Series A round of funding. The objective of the round is to take Plum global. And the first city we are opening, is Paris.

THE ROLE

In our view, most digital products either work well or look good. It seems like it’s never both and it’s our ambition to change that. We are building a business that brings world-leading technical excellence alongside incredible visual creatives and brand builders to be globally successful.

Our ambition is to be disruptive and pioneers in this space.

Whilst we are only in London we are looking to scale to 25 mega cities in the coming months starting with Paris in the new year.

Today, we are far from that. But this is what we hope you will help us achieve.

WHAT YOU’LL BE UP TO

With us being a start-up means you will be joining a best in class tech team of 7. This, in turn, means you will be able to make huge waves from day one. Every line of code you write will make a difference.

We already have a custom booking platform that provides a stepping stone, but what you see today is just a prototype. There is so much more we need to build and so much we need to improve.

We are excited to share our vision for the product with you, face to face, so you can better envisage what you will be up to and the kinds of technical challenges you will be solving.

For now, to give you a sense, here are the kinds of things you can expect to be doing:

- Contribute to the landscape of technology that will take our platform scale to multiple cities across the world.

- Participate as part of an Agile scrum team.

- Working across the stack to scope out new tech and build new features and apps. Our product team is full of amazing ideas.

- Greenfield projects including community platform, scrapping and monitoring platform, product features, i18n, hyper growth and conversion projects.

- Extending our core product that includes payments, calendar sync, search algorithms, messaging and performance.

- We are nuts about data. We aim to collect a lot more and leverage fundamental insights that shapes our business. If you have any machine learning interests, that would be a huge bonus.

- Over the year our team will grow and you will play a key role mentoring other developers, leading best practices, code reviews and shaping the stack.

- You will help shape our work flows by working on continuous integration, deployment and testing processes.

- Create coding standards and methodologies.

- You will plan our cloud architecture for speed, performance and scalability.

- Leading an “always on” program of iteration and innovation for our customer experience.

- Inspiring the team with new ideas and solutions.

- And generally writing awesome code!

ABOUT YOU

Our platform is the most important thing we do as a business. As such, we are looking to meet outstandingly brilliant characters with unreasonably high standards.

If we could wave a magic wand and hire our dream person for this role, you would:

- Have 5+ years developing experience at start-ups, agencies or software companies.

- You will be a conscious developer who thinks outside your IDE and applies your problem skills from debugging to business issues.

- Be product focused and know what we deliver affects end users.

- Possess a hacker’s wit and speed but be pragmatic to think about the long term.

- You enjoy learning, are interested in emerging tech and frequent sites like Hacker News and Coding Horror.

- Experienced in cloud architecture from servers, storage, queues, web jobs and elastic.

- You can model complex business objects into databases.

- You are not interested in building something good. Only in building something mind-blowingly amazing.

- You need to be proactive, self-motivated and prepared for start-up life.

- You will be autonomous and self-managing.

- You will be a dedicated team player; we’ve got your back so make sure you have ours.

YOUR TECH SKILLS & OUR STACK

As we grow so does our stack and processes. Our current obsessions are data, performance and scalability. A healthy mix of experience in our stack and beyond would be highly desirable.

- C#, .Net, MVC, Core 2.0, Web API, EF.

- Cloud infrastructure, AWS, Azure, distributed and architectural design patterns.

- Queues, relational databases, document databases, elastic.

- Redis / Fastly / Imgix.

BENEFITS

- Work on a stack that you can call your own.

- Using the latest software and tools.

- Learning, learning and learning! Over the next few months and years you will have worked on a variety of development tasks and technologies that pushed boundaries.

- You will be influencing a platform that will be a game changer.

- You will inevitably be one of the most sought after developers in London.

- Own stuff. A lot of stuff. You will have tons of responsibility and own your “projects”.

- Competitive salary. (depending on skill set and responsibilities)

- Option scheme: Our ambitions are huge and we hope it pays out for all.
