About us:
Adzuna is a job search engine that lists every job, everywhere. From launch in the UK in 2011, we now have tens of millions of visitors a month and are busy conquering the world from our office in West London, helping millions of people find better, more fulfilling jobs.
The role:
Adzuna’s success to date has been down to the skills, hard work and determination of the brilliant people we have hired. Right now, we're seeking an ambitious Strategy Manager to work directly with our CEO Doug Monro (ex Bain, eBay, Gumtree and Zoopla) across growth, strategy, planning and M&A projects internally and externally. This is an incredible opportunity to be in the room when the important stuff happens and while there will be plenty of analytical, project management and ‘get stuff done’ tasks alongside the strategic stuff, you can be sure you will learn a ton.
You’ll be working alongside Doug and key execs like our CCO and CFO. We’ll benefit from your strategy, consulting, finance or tech experience to date but even more important is the passion you bring to work every day. You will strive for excellence, be keen to learn and try new things, inspire and engage those around you and feel ownership of overall company success as well as pride in doing your bit.
What’s in it for you?
Adzuna is a growing scale-up, championing real change in the job market globally - using the power of tech to match people to better, more fulfilling jobs. We’re at a really pivotal time in our journey and it’s an exciting moment to join. After strong US expansion in the last few years, we recently acquired a Paris-based social media job software platform called Seiza and are busy integrating it, alongside a roadmap of AI innovations, to bring an exciting and unique new product offering to market globally.
Like everyone here, you will act like an owner, be a team player and make a difference. It’s an opportunity to work with a smart team led by experienced management and dedicated and passionate Founders. You have the chance to own your and the company’s growth in terms of:
- Running & improving our bi-annual planning processes, and acting as the ‘project office’ to deliver against it, helped by frameworks like 4DX
- Identifying M&A targets and executing deals where relevant
- Identifying and getting involved in new business lines, strategic partnerships and growth initiatives
- Helping with strategy, financing/exit, Board communications and metrics
- Developing internal excellence around analytics, presentations etc
- Learning how to grow a scaleup, across commercial and product areas, with the potential to own a P&L or roadmap in the future.
We want to realise the next level of success and you will utilise your own skills and experience across analytics, strategic thinking and project management to meet our goals. Career opportunities could include promotion in role, general management with P&L responsibility or gaining the experience to launch your own startup. You can make of the opportunity what you want!
It’s not an easy feat, but our aim is to create a business of which we are all proud and an environment where you will love to be, where you can be yourself to do what you do best.
