Join us on our quest to make the world’s most awesome maps!

Awesome Maps is making exactly that, awesome maps. We have different lines of maps and you can see them all at https://awesome-maps.com

What we are all about

We are a team scattered across the globe, from many different countries and we love it. We embrace this world, love exploring it and celebrate our differences as well as the things we have in common. Work makes up a big part of our lives so we want to spend it doing what we love with people we love. What that translates into?

Our team is the most important thing we have. We only work with people that are great at what they do and who we also enjoy working with and spending time with.

We celebrate each other’s holidays so no matter where you are in the world, Portuguese Liberation Day or Romanian Great Union day will be a day off for you. And we meet at least once per year in places like Berlin or Bali (currently planning Portugal once this madness is over).

We only make maps we love and work on small details on our products because creating an end product that we love is important to us. The same is true for every newsletter we send, every picture we post etc.

It’s hard to build a company so we always give 100% and work very hard. The list of things we have yet to achieve is long and everyone is great at doing their part and we have reached amazing goals despite our small team size. After all, our goal is to create the most awesome map making company ever.

Responsibilities About the position

We are looking for someone to help us to get shit done.

We sell our maps worldwide – online and in good old fashioned physical stores. We have been hard at work to improve our online presence (website, social media, newsletter etc.) and we already have some awesome shops and distributors we work with but now it’s time to give this 100%.

What you get

• Challenging and rewarding projects. You will be responsible for the success of our B2B efforts.
• Work remotely with flexible hours.
• You really become part of the team and everything we do. You’re not navigating only your little island of B2B sales but are involved in the creation process of new maps and everything else that comes with running the business.
• Long-term. We want you to stay with us!
• We do team events in Berlin or meet in Bali and we want you to become a part of this as well.

Responsibility

• You run our whole B2B sales efforts. You set the strategy and execute it. You decide which maps to push to which shops, you do the outreach, you follow up – you simply get shops to sell our maps. You have goals and you are meeting them. But of course you also get support from the team because it’s a startup so we all help each other
• You also know what else matters so you also help set up things like a B2B newsletter, think about creative ways to generate new leads etc.

Requirements

• You have experience with B2B sales/account management in a similar industry! This is extremely important. You already know what matters and what we have to do and you will do it.
• We really need someone who wants to make things happen and gets shit done. You have an idea you want to pursue? You put it on the agenda yourself! You’re waiting too long for feedback? You ask for that feedback until you have it.
• You have worked with/in start-ups before and feel comfortable in this environment.
• You are not afraid to try new things and experiment.
• You understand shops. You know when a discount is needed to make things right with them after we did something wrong, you know which shop is going to be a shop that is going to help us grow and that’s the kind of shop you focus on.
• You can and do communicate clearly.
• You are looking to work with us for at least one year.
• We are a remote team, so you can work from anywhere. However, we do not hire people who spend most of their time traveling. We’re working on achieving great things, so do not apply if you don’t have a permanent place to stay or change your location every couple of weeks.
• You don’t take yourself too seriously and can deal with irony and dark humour. While this could seem like a minor point it really isn’t. We get shit done and work hard but we (mostly me, Simon) make (inappropriate) jokes all the time. So if this is something you would take seriously this would never work and you shouldn’t apply.

• Depending on your experience level.
• We are a small startup obviously but we will make sure this works for both of us.
• You are directly responsible for sales so you will get a good commission for orders you’re bringing in.
• We take a portion of our profits every year and share it between the team – you will be a part of that.
