About MEAVO
We started MEAVO in 2018, believing that existing acoustic and privacy solutions for the modern office are either too expensive or not adequate. After months of prototyping and product development, we started selling our office phone booths in January 2019. We have since equipped hundreds of offices with our booths and received great feedback from our clients in London!
We are now looking to expand our operations beyond London and are looking for a bright and energetic country manager to join us and kick-off operations in Paris.
The Role
We are looking for an entrepreneurial leader to kick off our expansion into Europe. As one of the first employees of MEAVO, this is a unique opportunity to join a quickly growing startup that is disrupting a profitable industry. You will report directly to one of the company’s co-founders and will be able to lean on their direct support, including their periodic presence in Paris. You will have full autonomy and the chance to become one of the cornerstones of the future growth of MEAVO.
Your main objective will be to kick off sales and operations in Paris. This will include the following responsibilities:
Sales & Marketing:

Other:
- Provide continuous customer feedback to help improve our products.
- Travel occasionally to London and Sofia
As we already developed a playbook to launch a city we will be there for you to guide you during the first months.
Your performance and remuneration will be evaluated based on your ability to grow local sales as well as to develop and manage local operations in order to satisfy our customers and meet set sales targets.
What do you need to land the job?
