👋 Why Join Housr?
We are a hyper-growth tech startup on a mission to revolutionise student rental. And when we say hyper-growth, we mean we have gone from $0 to $10M ARR in just the past 18 months.
We just recently raised a $10M Series A and we are putting this investment to work to fuel our growth in the US + Canada college markets.
The Opportunity
We’re building out the brand and perks side of Housr as we expand across North America. Each new university we launch isn’t just about housing. It’s also about the experience around it. The brands, offers and perks that make the platform feel genuinely useful to students. That’s what this role focuses on.
You’ll be building relationships with brands, from national names through to strong local operators, and turning those into partnerships that go live in each market. This is a senior individual contributor role. You’ll run your own deals, help shape how we approach partnerships, and play a direct role in how each new campus comes to life.
Why This Role Is Interesting
There isn’t a fully built engine here yet. You won’t be stepping into a polished partnerships function with everything mapped out. A lot of it is still being figured out.
You’ll have the space to test approaches, try different angles with brands, and work out what actually lands in different markets. Some partnerships will be straightforward. Others will be more involved and need a bit more thought commercially. The work also shows up quickly. The brands you bring on are visible to students as soon as a market launches, so you can see the impact of what you’ve done pretty clearly.
If you like building something while still being close to deals, this tends to suit.
What You’ll Own
We aim to move quickly and keep things straightforward.
