Urban Company started out as UrbanClap in Nov 2014, when its founders, Abhiraj, Raghav and Varun realized that the home services industry was predominantly unorganized, fragmented and offline. Customers found it difficult to avail quality services in a convenient manner, and service professionals were struggling to make ends meet, having to rely upon several middlemen, contractors, and local aggregators. The founders felt that the industry was ripe for disruption, and launched Urban Company, with three key principles in mind -

1. Customer love: Build a platform that offers truly delightful and differentiated services
2. Partner empowerment: Build a deep, full-stack partnership with service partners, helping improve their earnings and overall livelihood
3. Technology first: Bring innovation and technology to an age-old industry

What youll do:

1. Own and build all aspects of UCs business across your vertical -building the supply chain across selection, training and onboarding of professionals; daily operations; uality of service; user growth and expansion
2. Grow the marketplace while optimizing multiple opposing factors like service availability and supply utilisation; scaling user growth while improving operational excellence and quality of service
3. Build, coach and lead a high performance team across business development, skill training an,d growth
4. Collaborate across multiple central teams including functional specialists and business category teams to ensure coherence and other regional teams to share/learn best practices
5. Drive user growth through local marketing initiatives, partnerships as well as localising the offering/pricing for your market
