Job Description

About HomeHero www.homehero.co.uk We live in a world where consumers are expecting more and more services to be available on demand 24/7; books, films, food, taxis, shopping etc. The three biggest areas of non-discretional consumer spend in the UK are food, transport and the home. Both the food and transport sectors have been digitised to some extent by the likes of Deliveroo, JustEAT, Uber, and Lyft. These companies have both followed and driven consumer behaviour to create greater expectations, particularly with regard to convenience, from services/products. However, the home has barely been touched by digitalisation and is still predominantly being serviced in traditional, offline, ways. HomeHero are creating a new consumer category Home-as-a-Service where anything relating to your household can be done with a few easy clicks. We are taking the mundane away from the consumer, so that they can spend time on the things that matter, knowing that HomeHero are taking care of their home. Founded in 2015, HomeHero is VC backed by funds such as Concentric VC, Impulse VC, Seedcamp and prominent angels who have been behind successful businesses such as Skype, FindaProperty and Prime Location. Currently a team of 25, based in Old Street (obviously working fully remotely for the time being), with plans to double in the next 12 months and move to a larger space close by. HomeHero achieved 12m ARR revenue by the end of 2019, increasing month on month by over 20%, the business already has commercial traction, which is unusual for a start-up at this early stage. Tens of thousands of households currently use the service on a monthly basis and the customer base is growing at a rate of 2,000 households per month. By the end of 2020 HomeHero expects to be close to 40,000 households served on a monthly basis.
