PropTech is growing extremely quickly, with almost $100bn recently invested in PropTech businesses which now number over 7,300 globally. Unissu is the global market leader for all matters regarding technology solutions for the property market; the second largest asset class in the world.

At our heart is a community-driven global marketplace connecting property professionals, investors and advisors with tools which include advertising, data analytics, curated content and the world's first PropTech procurement tool.

Unissu has attracted over 80,000 users since launch and is backed by over £1m in capital from some of the world’s leading PropTech authorities.

Job Description

Since launch, Unissu has built a global network of partners in local markets. This network helps distribute our products but also provides us with data on local markets. In return, by working with us, our local partners help cement their own reputation as leading PropTech authorities.

We are now hiring for a driven and entrepreneurial individual to lead the next phase of growth, developing more strategic partnerships with global real estate organisations, trade bodies, conferences and membership organisations. This position will work closely with a community manager for maximum impact.

In particular, this role will have responsibility for securing distribution for our PropTech Procurement tool. We have already secured three partners as proof of concept.
