Venuu is hiring an entry level Sweden Market Launcher for its Barcelona office, on a permanent contract starting at €20,000 to €26,000 gross per year, with no sales experience required. At Youth Works Hub, we read the full posting so you can see what the job actually asks of you, what it pays and how the four step hiring process runs before you send anything.
The unusual part is the shape of the role. You are not joining an established territory to maintain it. You are handed one Swedish city at a time and asked to open it.
What Venuu Is
Venuu is an international online marketplace that helps over 400,000 people a month discover event venues. It was born in Finland and now operates in five countries, and its own site advertises more than 12,000 event venues for hire.
🎪 The marketplace covers parties, weddings and meetings, so the supply side is venue owners and the demand side is anyone organising an event.
🇸🇪 Sweden is already an established market for the company, with a strong presence in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö.
🏢 The Swedish team sits in the Barcelona office, which hosts the company's international operations.
Why the Role Exists
The next phase for the company is bringing Venuu to more cities across Sweden, beyond the three it already holds. This role owns that expansion.
The mission, as the posting puts it, is simple: launch Venuu in one new city at a time. Map the local venue market, reach out to the best potential partners, bring them onto the platform, help build local demand so people actually find and book them, then move on to the next city.
City by City Launching
🗺️ You research each local market and map out the most relevant venues.
📣 You run outreach campaigns to get Venuu off the ground in that city.
🔁 Once a city has a solid number of active venues, your job there is done and you move to the next one.
That last line is worth reading twice, because it describes the rhythm of the job: repeated cold starts rather than one long account list.
Launch Deals
🎯 To kickstart new cities quickly, you invite the very first local partners to join under highly attractive launch conditions.
🤝 Because these introductory offers carry very low entry friction, you can bring partners onboard fast with less heavy contract negotiation.
For an entry level hire this matters: you are not expected to win hard negotiations on day one, because the offer itself is designed to be easy to say yes to.
Onboarding and Listing Creation
🧾 Once a venue says yes, you set up their account.
✍️ You build their profile copy.
📸 You make sure their listing looks good, because a weak listing does not convert bookings.
SEO, Content and Demand Generation
Supply alone does not make a marketplace work, so part of the role sits on the demand side.
🔎 You learn to identify search opportunities and create well optimised webpages.
📝 You collaborate on affiliate content with some of Sweden's largest publishers to drive more traffic and bookings.
📈 You grow demand across the Swedish market rather than only in the city you are currently opening.
According to Youth Works Hub's review of this posting, this is the part that makes the job more than a sales role: you leave with both outbound experience and practical SEO and content work, which is a rare pairing at entry level.
Who Venuu Is Looking For
The posting is explicit that this position is for entry level talent, and that little or no previous sales experience is completely fine.
⚡ A doer mindset: proactive, energetic, preferring action over overthinking, comfortable moving fast and learning as you go.
🌱 Drive to grow, described as the most important quality: ambitious, eager to improve, wanting real responsibility.
📞 A comfortable communicator, willing to pick up the phone, speak with business owners, pitch ideas and learn to navigate objections.
🧰 Curiosity about digital growth, with no SEO knowledge required today.
🗂️ Strong organisation, because you manage a high volume pipeline with dozens of simultaneous conversations.
🎓 Coachability: asking questions, seeking feedback and being comfortable when challenged.
🤗 A team first attitude, with ownership of your own actions.
🇸🇪 Fluent Swedish, written and verbal, to communicate naturally with Swedish business owners, plus strong English to work with international teammates.
Previous experience in sales, customer service, hospitality, retail or call centres is a plus but explicitly not required.
Pay, Contract and Probation
💶 For entry level employees, the first year's salary is €20,000 to €26,000 gross per year, depending on experience.
📈 Compensation grows through annual reviews as skills and contribution grow.
📄 The contract is permanent and full time at 40 hours a week.
🕒 There is a three month probation period.
🗓️ The start date is flexible, depending on your current situation.
Office First, Hybrid Later
🏢 The job is based in the Barcelona office, and the company describes itself as office first because it believes face to face chemistry is vital when building something from scratch.
🏠 Hybrid options are partially available after onboarding.
The Team and the Perks
👥 The office holds an international crew of around 30 professionals from the Nordics, Spain and Latin America.
🎉 Regular team building events and casual afterworks are listed among the perks.
📚 A personal learning budget is offered.
🥤 Snacks and drinks in the fridge round out the list.
The Recruitment Process
1️⃣ You submit your CV and application in English through the company portal.
2️⃣ A screening call follows with Isak, the Sweden Country Manager.
3️⃣ Then an onsite interview at the Barcelona office with Isak and Jaakko, the CEO.
4️⃣ The final step is a casual get to know chat over a coffee or a cold beer.
🗣️ The whole recruitment process is carried out in English, even though the job itself runs in Swedish.
How to Apply
The application goes through the company's own recruitment portal with a CV and a written application in English. The posting asks you to make it personal and to explain what you want to learn, where you want to grow and why launching Venuu in new Swedish cities appeals to you. Since no sales record is expected, that explanation is effectively the selection criterion.
