After a successful launch in the UAE (Dubai and Abu Dhabi) market, we are now launching operations in Australia. We provide a bouquet of services to the customer. It includes housekeeping services such as Cleaning, Plumbers, Electricians, Handymen and Pest Control. We also provide personal services like beauty and hair, spa and massage and fitness and yoga training at home. Be it getting a plumbing job done, getting ready for the occasion, getting your house cleaned hassle-free or just a blow dry before you go to the office, we are a sure shot destination for your service needs.

Our Vision

UrbanClap’s vision is to empower millions of professionals world-wide to deliver services at home like never experienced before. At the heart of this vision is the transformation of a home service professional into a micro-service entrepreneur. Prior to joining UrbanClap, most of these professionals, be it beauticians, cleaners, carpenters etc. typically earn AUD $1500 - 1800 per month, working for local shops, aggregators or as freelancers. The UrbanClap platform enables them to become micro-entrepreneurs through 5 key interventions –
● Branding and Customer Access: Working as an individual franchisee of UrbanClap
● Financing Access: Opening bank accounts, access to loans, insurance etc.
● Tech Led Service Standardization: Standardizing the service - creating SKUs, fixed and transparent pricing, clear service deliverables, defined SOPs, delivery tracking, payment systems, reviews etc., to help remove friction from the service experience
● Training: Soft and Skills Training imparted in person and via the app
● Consumables Supply Chain: Purchasing consumables needed for service delivery in bulk

This helps service professionals become more organized and multiplies their earnings by a factor of 1.5-2x easily.

Scale of Operations

UrbanClap serves approximately 800,000 customers every month, for a variety of their home service needs. It is present in all major metropolitan cities of India, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The company is on annual GMV run-rate of approximately AUD 250 million, and a revenue run-rate of approximately AUD 50 million annualized (80%+ contribution margin).

About the Role

In the next 3 years, UrbanClap wants to be synonymous to home services across Australia. We are a high growth and a fast moving organisation, and plan to grow multifold year on year to reach an AUD 50 million annualised revenue run-rate within 3 years of operation.

● Understand the supply side of the market and help scale high quality supply
● Creating service delivery norms and processes for the category, and help implement them
● Impart necessary training to on-boarded service professionals on these norms and how to use UrbanClap

Job requirements

● Full Australian working rights is a must
● 0-2 years of experience across sales, business development, operations or user growth
● Strong-willed, sharp problem solver and hands on!
● Hustle and get things done attitude. This is not a typical 9-5 job
● Ability to build a business from scratch and have the passion to make a difference in the world we live in
