Description

ProntoPro is a marketplace for artisans and professionals.

We help millions of customers to find the professionals they need: a photographer for a wedding, a plumber, a guitar teacher, and many more. We are bringing meritocracy and transparency to a market which is currently opaque. We want to revolutionize both the way customers choose a professional and the way professionals find new customers.

We have institutional investors such as Immobiliare.it and high profile angel investors coming from Google, Facebook, eBay, McKinsey and Unicredit.We are a startup, but without the typical risks of a startup.We already conquered the market in Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, and Spain. And we want more!

We are looking for people willing to build a digital giant that has a strong impact on everybody's life. This is not a quiet job, we put our heart in it.

You will have visibility over the whole business and not just on your area of competence.

We strongly believe that everybody can give an important contribution, also from the architecture, product, and business strategy point of views.
