Venuu = Makes the hard and time-consuming event planning effortless by matching people with the best venues for their parties, weddings, meetings and events. We're determined to become the global industry leader.

--

We’ve heard rumours that Italians like to throw parties but are struggling with finding the right venues. After long internal discussions, we’ve come to the conclusion that it's our duty to help them. So we’re super excited to announce that we’re opening Venuu in Italy! Che bello! 🇮🇹

We’re now looking for one or two Italian speakers to launch our service in Italy’s major cities in early 2022. This is a pretty unique job opportunity e.g. for junior-level talents looking for that first chance to shine. Previous work experience is not required – a great attitude, strong communication skills and a never-ending curiosity are.

The job is based in Helsinki. Read more below 👇

Tasks and responsibilities:

• You localise Venuu’s site to match the Italian market. You translate the service and make sure it serves the needs of the local event organisers.

• You reach out to venue providers in Italy’s major cities, share the news of a new booking site and work hard to get them to join our service. This part includes plenty of selling via phone and email! 📞

• You ensure that the venue providers who join Venuu attract the right clientele by creating high-quality listing profiles that bring the best out of any space. 💎

• You ensure that people who are looking for venues find us online. This includes creating search engine optimised website content (we'll teach you how it's done).

• You do whatever else it takes to make Venuu the leader in the Italian event venue booking market in 1-2 years time!

Our ideal candidate:

• Has strong communication and people skills. They feel comfortable talking to people on a daily basis. They’re able to connect with people and form long-lasting relationships.

• They're persistent and don't give up easily. Hearing a “No” doesn’t scare them off, just makes them try harder. 💪

• Has great organisational skills. They can structure and prioritise their own workload, even if days get busy.

• Has an excellent command of the Italian language (both written and spoken) and a good command of English.

• Might have some previous experience in sales, customer service or any other role where they worked with people. But this is not required.

• They’re ambitious, growth-driven and get excited about seeing results. 🚀

What we offer you:

• A very important and hands-on role in a small company with global ambitions. Your work would truly matter.

• Freedom and responsibility in perfect harmony. You'll have both space and guidance.

• A unique opportunity to learn from multiple fields, e.g. sales, digital marketing and business development. You'll become a true multitalented professional.

• A chance to work with Italy - and in Italian - all the way from the northern periphery of Finland!

• A full-time job with a start salary of approximately 2,000 euros per month. The pay will later increase together with you and our Italian operations.

• A relaxed workplace where hybrid work between home and our centrally located office, Friday beers (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and good laughter are a part of the deal. 🏖

• A supportive, international team that is happy to have you as a colleague. 💖

What happens next?

Our hiring process looks like this:

• Round 1: Video call interview with expansion team leader Jaakko Salonen

• Round 2: Live interview with Jaakko and CEO Tomi Hänninen

• Round 2.5: Meet & greet with possible future colleagues

We hope to make the final decision in the early days of 2022. The work would start at the end of January or early February.
