Strategic Partnerships Manager - Living
We are looking for a Strategic Partnerships Manager - Living.
The Living sector is growing rapidly across Europe. Its payment infrastructure has not always kept pace.
Flex Living, Co-Living and PBSA operators still manage monthly collections across large portfolios by combining direct debits, cards, bank transfers and a lot of manual reconciliation.
At UrbanPay, we want to change that.
We connect identity verification, electronic signature, direct account-to-account payments and automated reconciliation in a single flow, with instant settlement, no chargeback risk like direct debits, and costs from 0.25%.
Today we already work with clients who manage large portfolios of Living assets and who, together, generate more than €100M in transaction volume per year.
Now we are looking for someone who knows the sector from the inside, with experience in asset management, operations, investment, strategy or business development, to help us build the next stage of UrbanPay.
You do not need to come from fintech. What matters is that you understand how Living operators really work.
