Director Partner Management

At Vicoland, we give the professional services market a new dimension: Virtual Companies, in short: “Vicos”. We invented Vicos to allow freelancers to team up and compete successfully for interesting, large projects.

Our unique SaaS platform provides all the tech which enables the collaboration of Vicos and their clients. It is an integrated solution of organizational, legal and financial tech. It includes a marketplace that matches clients and Vicos.

Our Vicos are already transforming how digital projects are done. Since our launch 1.5 years ago, Vicos won projects from large corporate clients such as Mercedes-Benz, Netflix, or the German Federal Government, as well as from many SME. Vicoland was mentioned by Forbes and Forrester as a leading force in the market. We are an official partner of SAP and integrated into SAP procurement software.

There are already over 400 Vicos on our platform, uniting thousands of freelancers. Our central team, to which you would belong, has 40 members and is located across Europe, expanding to the US. Our headquarters are in Frankfurt/Main.

Our offer to you

We focus on our growth. We do this vertical by vertical. Our first vertical is SAP services, others will follow. We are experiencing strong demand and need to scale the supply of Vicos. This is where you come in. As a Director in our Partner Management Team, your responsibility will be to grow the supply of Vicos, uniting the best talent. For you and your team to do so in a scalable way, we have developed and continue to fine-tune an elaborate set of software tools and processes.

You will not only be operating at the heart of our value proposition, directly impacting our top-line growth. You will also be a key changemaker and entrepreneurial force in the professional services industry.
