WHAT WE'RE DOING

Appear Here is the leading marketplace for short-term retail space, working with everyone from industry leading brands to exciting start-ups. Our mission is to create a world where anyone with an idea can find space to make it happen. We’ve raised over $20m in funding to date - from tier one investors Balderton and Octopus, as well as some of the world’s largest landlords and biggest names in retail.

Named one of Wired Magazine's ‘100 Hottest Start-Ups’ and The Financial Times’ most ‘Disruptive Companies,’ Appear Here has become the go-to destination to make innovative and creative retail ideas happen across London, Paris and New York. We believe we’re building a game changer for both the retail and property industries: and so far 160,000+ brands and 1000s of landlords agree with us.

This is a great opportunity for an exceptional candidate to join our Landlord team. As a Business Development Lead, you are dedicated to unlocking the city – that means finding spaces for the thousands of great ideas coming through our platform. You’ll be searching for, meeting, and leading landlords through the on-boarding process and getting them set up to trade on the platform. You'll be figuring out the pain points in the system and working tirelessly within a fast moving team to streamline these processes. You'll be thrown into the NYC Property industry and quickly be seen as an innovator and thought leader.

THE ROLE

• The role requires a lot of hats. You will be Business Development, Sales and Account Management all rolled in to one package.
• Discovering the city and who owns the streets of NYC is key - you'll be out and about pitching the business in person and on the phone.
• Generate and manage a pipeline of prospective Landlords to sign up to Appear Here.
• Identify opportunities to open new sources of supply - talk to everyone, attend every event, whatever it takes to get more space!
• As a key member of the team, you'll also identify opportunities to scale our current operations. We don't settle, and neither will you - learning, feedback and new ideas are essential contributions from every member of the business.

WHY WE LIKE YOU 

• You’ll have at least 2 years of outbound sales experience in a target-driven environment
• You're not afraid to pick up the phone and make friends, and close deals
• You are an entrepreneurial, self-starter who is smart, intuitive, focused on hitting targets and passionate about getting the deal done
• You're fierce and are always looking for "one more"
• You think of solutions before they become problems and are always one step ahead
• You are very organised and detailed - nothing gets by you!
• You love to learn on the job and approach your work with a lot of enthusiasm
• You’re a bit different: guts, drive and varied experience are more important than a degree or specific industry knowledge
• You're passionate about NYC as a city, and making it better

We make ideas happen. Work with some of the most inspiring and innovative brands out there. We’re no bullshit. You won’t find office politics or excuses here – we say it how it is. We punch above. We give you the opportunity to achieve more than you thought you could.
