๐ Our 30 seconds elevator pitch

If you are an a true 4x4, an all-rounder who loves to solve problems, want to make a real impact and experience how it's like to work at a crazy fast-paced startup - continue reading below ๐
Quick disclaimer: this is a position for...
- Recent ambitious and energetic graduates with 0-1 years of work experience from highly analytical backgrounds (Engineerings, Mathematics, Management, ...)
- Open to 6 months paid internship with clear intention of offering a full time challenge where they fit best to those outstanding performers
๐จโ๐ณ Who are we?
โWe launched Katoo with the intention to offer digital tools to the HoReCa industry: currently, 99% of restaurants make orders to their suppliers via either phone, e-mail, WhatsApp or even voicemail! Through Katoo, we help every type of restaurant - from traditional bars to groups of 30 Point of Sales - control their procurement better via a completely free mobile appโ
Karan Anand, Co-Founder & CPO/COO
Katoo was founded in July 2019 by a young group of entrepreneurs coming from Uber & BCG that failed to open their dark kitchen: mostly because they couldn't get procurement right!
We are a Southern European start-up aiming at facilitating the currently unstructured, old-school restaurants-suppliers relationships. We currently operate and have offices in Spain ๐ช๐ธ, Italy ๐ฎ๐น and Portugal ๐ต๐น - but we'll be opening new markets soon! This is a $1 trillion opportunity worldwide, with plenty of whitespace opportunity across several regions.
Our mission is (not so) simple: "Connecting and empowering the food supply chain"! Restaurants have been digitalised on most ends through delivery players, PoS, payments, ... But if you ask them how they placing orders to their suppliers - they'll say "Telephone, SMS, email, fax (๐!!!)". Just like they did 20 years ago.
We want to make a change in the industry and take suppliers & restaurants to 2021 - by giving them access to the best digital tools and making their operations faster, cheaper and more efficient.

๐ฅOk, but what is the Strategy Associate role about?
The Strategy department is responsible for "making things work". That can mean a lot of things, but some of there are:
- Leading crucial strategic projects for the future of Katoo on topics such as monetization, revenue optimisation or international expansion, working side-by-side with our Co-Founder/CEO (Diogo) & Head of Special Projects (Carlos)
- Launching new product lines alongside the Product team, testing MVPs and working closely with our Co-Founder/CPO (Karan) & Head of Product (Filipe)
- Being "temporarily loaned" to carry out new initiatives in our departments, either being helping our VP of Growth (Edo) defining how to increase funnel conversion or our VP of Business Development (Marco) launching new countries
- Helping with internal operations and creating internal processes, working directly with our Head of People (Ale) on how to reduce moments of annoyance throughout the employee lifecycle or with our Chief of Staff (Pedro) on automatizing our finance / invoicing tasks
โญ How does the "perfect candidate" look like?
- An analytical and logical mind who associates "complexity" with fun. We push ourselves to be a data-driven company and most projects will rely heavily on data to make the best decisions for Katoo. If you have a blast building Excel models, have started learning SQL or Python by yourself and love to explore new tools - we'll foster you to do so here.
- An incredibly curious mind who gets excited to learn new skillsets. A stellar Strategy Associate needs to be someone who masters Google, who loves deep-diving into new topics and who leverages on other Katooers to ask them the right questions.
- An organization freak who never misses a task. You are a super organized profile who makes sure things run on the clock - not only for you, but also for your full team.
- An energetic and contagious profile who impresses everyone around him/her. To succeed in many of these projects, you'll need to interact and ensure buy-in from senior internal and external stakeholders. You must impress them for your ideas to be executed quickly!
๐ค Why you should join us?
We are obviously biased when selling ourselves, but we genuinely believe we are one of the best places to work out there! Some reasons are...
- You will learn from a killer team! The team at Katoo has scaled businesses at tech unicorns such as Uber, Amazon or Grab; helped Southern European companies become local-champions like Cabify, Glovo, OnTruck or BNext and advised on strategic projects at top-notch consulting firms like BCG & McKinsey. To you, it's a unique opportunity to learn from the best.
- You will get to experience what it really is to scale a start-up, get your hands nicely dirty and experience a unique company culture (if you love tacos ๐ฎ, this is the place for you). If you got bored in a previous banking / consulting internship (like many of us) and want to see how we role at one of the hottest and most fast-paced companies in Europe - this is the place!
- You will grow incredibly fast and skip a lot of steps if you do well! Inside our company, there are no barriers regarding your personal and professional growth. That means that if you do well, you will keep on growing inside Katoo.
