Overview

Job Description

iGeolise, Ltd. is VC-backed B2B technology company. We make location data searchable by TravelTime rather than distance. We have 40 employees in UK, Lithuania, Poland, Netherlands, Russia and return over a billion requests each month for over 100 clients worldwide. We recently raised over 3 million in investment and now we're looking to expand our team. We've developed TravelTimeSearch - an easy to integrate system that can search 100,000 locations instantly without impacting our clients' search response time, imperceptible to the user (a world-beating location volume and speed). Imagine going to the largest web sites in the world and finding relevant hotels by their travel time from your conference; or restaurants by their travel time from both you and your guests; jobs by the commute time from your home (or homes by commute time from work) ... or on dating websites, classifieds, or retailers. TravelTimeSearch is for sites with masses of locations, masses of users, and who make money from conversions - big sites, in some very obvious verticals. It is live on www.totaljobs.co.ukand having a significant impact. In your role as Sales Manager , you will initially report to the CEO, and subsequently to the Head of Sales (a pending hire).
