About the Role

As the Business Lead Local Partners, you will lead the Local Partners business unit at nebenan.de alongside the Product Lead. You will report directly to the CEO, be responsible for the commercial performance and P&L of the unit, and manage the Local Partner Sales Team. You will build upon our existing customer base and revenue, driving sustainable, profitable growth. Local Partners are businesses and organizations that connect with their neighborhood via nebenan.de, ranging from shops, cafes, and service providers to local initiatives. Their presence on the platform and local advertising makes them visible to people in their vicinity.

Collaborating with the Product Lead, you will build on current successes and test bold ideas for the future. We are a lean team and intend to stay that way. This role is for you if you enjoy both setting strategic direction and hands-on execution, including speaking with business owners, acquiring customers, testing offers, and improving customer retention.
