Founder Associate

We are Auctree, the fast-growing marketplace of discounted real estate. We are on a mission to sell properties for less, so more people can afford to buy a place. We launched in 2021 and have been growing very rapidly. Our clients are international financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Lone Star, and with over +€4bn properties around Spain in our pipeline, we're super excited to be expanding our business to around the country. We are currently building an outstanding team with skilled members across all domains and backgrounds. If you are interested in redefining real estate, one of the biggest markets still in the hands of traditional players, this opportunity might be for you!

Job Role

In this role, you will be a part of a small elite team of super-achievers working with Auctree’s founding team. You will work on high priority tasks across the company, solving complex problems and joining us in our mission to make property more accessible. Previous projects include identifying new business opportunities, developing products, leading teams and more. This unique opportunity will teach you how to build a business from scratch, how to solve absolutely any problem, and the mentality to achieve any goal. At Auctree, you can expect to be surrounded by amazing colleagues and have full autonomy in how you go about making your mark.

Auctree’s three-sided marketplace (of consumers, a network of field agents and investment funds) operates in a complex manner, with very short selling timeframes, serving millions of consumers hyper-locally in nearly every corner of Spain. Operating the network at scale in a high growth environment is no mean feat, as such you will be faced with some of the most exciting problems across the real estate tech space. You will work closely with local operations teams, product and data science to drive cross-functional projects across a variety of business areas.

What You’ll Be Doing

Strategy and execution for high priority projects - identify key areas of improvement across the business through the analysis of metrics and develop new processes to enhance operations.
Operating efficiency - work alongside the founding team to build operational processes to ensure sustainable operations that can continue scaling. We are currently looking to scale our network of field agents in a similar way to those of Uber drivers, Deliveroo raiders, etc.
Build new products - work closely with Product to help define the priority tools and features that need building to ensure we continue to run a lean growth machine.
Run operations – own and lead the daily operations of the business.
