Do you thrive with responsibility and want to create impact? Have you previously successfully launched a product or service in a new market and are you itching to do it again? And would you enjoy building relations with enthusiastic summer house owners?

Founded in February 2021 by seven ex-Airbnb colleagues, Landfolk is an online marketplace for summer houses and one of Denmark's most ambitious startups. Based in Aarhus, our mission is to help people get out of town. Closer to nature and each other. We handpick premium summer houses with focus on aesthetics, quality, scenic locations and personality and put a lot of effort into building a committed and inspiring community of proud hosts and summer house enthusiasts.

As we grow our team, we are looking for someone who will launch and lead our supply expansion efforts in Northern Germany. If you love summer house life, even better.

What your days and responsibilities would look like

• Reach out to our very first German summer house owners and onboard them by tuning into their interests, concerns and questions while conveying Landfolk values and conditions

• Utilize your local knowledge of Northern Germany to ensure an optimal GTM strategy and adjust our existing onboarding processes to cater to German culture and legislation

• Experiment with different lead generation tactics to identify large volumes of on-brand summer houses in specific geographies, e.g. Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Niedersachsen

• Recruit, hire and train a local supply team within the first 6 months to scale supply acquisition through customer relationship management

• Ensure documentation of all new supply experiments, projects, tests and optimizations

• Explore German business development opportunities such as sponsorships, partnerships, co-promotions and PR opportunities
