Business Development Assistent (part time)

At Famly, we’re looking for a Business Development Assistant to help get our brand new product off the ground. You'll work in the Growth team on a wide variety of tasks relating to business development, marketing and product-led growth.

And Famly are...? Well it all began when our co-founder Henrik’s daughter was ready to start at daycare. He couldn’t believe the amount of work being done on paper - and how distant he felt from his first child during the day. The paper ‘parent’ books they exchanged once a month just weren’t cutting it. Together with his friend, our co-founder and CEO Anders, they set about solving that.


These days, the 90 of us building Famly talk about trying to do two things for our 3,800 customers:

  • Giving children the best possible start to life.

  • Championing the vital work that goes into making that happen.


We do it with software that brings hundreds of thousands of parents closer to their child’s day while they’re away from them. We also make financial, pedagogical, and planning tools for more than 34,000 childcare professionals, saving them hours and reducing their admin stress.

Ultimately, that gives them more time and headspace for the little ones that really matter. Come help us make that happen.

The Growth team is launching a new product under a separate brand, and we need someone to look after our new users and help build the user base from the ground up. You will be responsible for connecting parents with nurseries, as well as strategising and executing on clever email campaigns and product marketing initiatives. You will be reporting directly to the Head of Growth, and work closely with the entire team on different initiatives.


What you'll be doing:

  • Communicating and building relationships with UK-based nurseries via phone and email

  • Actively improving the nursery profiles in the marketplace

  • Setting up automated email funnels

  • Writing copy for emails and social media posts for the new brand

  • Constantly thinking of ways to improve what we're doing, or coming up with new things we should be doing

  • Working between 15-20 hours a week

You’ll thrive in this role if you:

  • Have excellent written and spoken English

  • Have experience with customer facing tasks and customer communications

  • Have relevant experience with email and product marketing

  • Have a curious mind and a hunger to constantly learn new skills

  • Have good project management and coordination skills

  • Are proactive, independent and have a "get shit done" attitude

  • Are potentially finishing your studies within a business field

This is a role that can be moulded into many different directions based on your interests and ambitions, and we hope for the person coming in to be able to grow into a full-time position when the time is right.


You'll be working with:

Growth is a new team at Famly, focusing on finding ways to grow in a scalable and efficient way through technology and automation. Our job is to help customers find, test, buy and love Famly all on their own, with as little human interaction as possible. We sit in the intersection of technology and business strategy. We are a team of 6 people right now, with profiles ranging from developers and designers to data analysts. The Growth team is a part of the Marketing & Growth department and often collaborate on different initiatives with the Marketing teams.

You'll find us here under the team category.


You’ll love working here because:

  • We’re all about hiring a diverse array of clever people - who are good humans too. It means Famly is full of top thinkers and generous teammates waiting to help you shine.

  • We like to give a lot of ownership both in terms of responsibility and freedom to try new things. We’ll get you up and running and collaborate along the way, of course.

  • Top-notch work equipment

  • A big focus on people support with personal and career development, including monthly training sessions in a wide-variety of topics.

  • Flexible hours - We fit work around our lives - not the other way around. If you need to work different hours sometimes, take the day from home (or the Maldives), we trust you to do just that.


In the Copenhagen HQ, you can enjoy:

  • A yummy daily buffet and a well stocked drinks fridge (did someone say snack corner?)

  • Our private rooftop courtyard (sunny all year round, we promise…!)

  • Post-covid social activities have now resumed… enjoy endless team fun with dinners out, office BBQs, Friday bars, big quarterly social events, game nights, a daily 7 minute workout, and more!


The interview process is:

  1. Video interview with People Partner

  2. Logical test

  3. In person interview with Head of Growth

  4. Take home assignment

  5. Final interview with Head of Growth and VP of Marketing & Growth


We're looking to fill the position as soon as possible, so get your application in today by sending us:

  • Your CV

  • A cover letter to tell us what you can bring to the role, and what speaks to you about Famly.


Looking forward to hearing from you!
