About UENI

​

​

We help small and very small enterprises to go online. Unlike typical do-it-yourself website builders like Wix, we are a “do it for me” solution. SMEs fill out a short 5-6 points questionnaire in most cases on their mobile. Through a combination of tech and human curation, we build the business a website based on the SME’s input and complementary record public records.

The simple website is free and hosted on our domain, but it is search-engine optimised and includes personalised, high quality content. Businesses can upgrade their sites with additional services like domain names, email addresses, advanced SEO, logos, and listings on high-traffic social media and map sites. Beyond online tools, we also offer third party solutions that a small business might need such as payment solutions, bank accounts, credit cards, bank loans, accounting software, or offline marketing. The tools presented to the business are based on the stated goals of the business and where they are in their life cycle (e.g. just starting out or a mature operation). In short, UENI is the one stop shop for all the tools small business needs to grow.

Today we are signing up 3,500 businesses every day and we operate in the UK, Spain, France, USA, Mexico, India, and Brazil and we are growing our global presence every month. To date, UENI has raised $30m mainly from successful entrepreneurs.
 

Driven by our customers as well as with the growth in base, we are becoming an interesting distribution channel for value-added services - eg. payment systems, HR & accounting software, point of sale devices, even insurance products. We’re looking for a Business Development Manager who will find and develop new partnerships across multiple sectors. You will be required to understand and uncover the client's needs to ensure that we offer the best solution. Your goal will be to develop and close new business whilst providing a first-class service. You will have experience selling a solution and demonstrate success and target achievement in previous roles.

We are looking for a self-driven and motivated sales professional who wants to work for a forward-thinking, fast-paced start up.

 

​

Founded in 2014 by Harvard graduates set on building something amazing and worthwhile, UENI is now made up of over 60 people working to shift the balance between independent businesses and larger franchises. We believe that customers should have more choice and transparency, and we’re helping small businesses to provide it. From service providers like dentists and plumbers to photographers or restaurant owners, our mission is to make all businesses visible online. UENI now builds thousands of new sites every day, across 9 countries and 70 cities – and we’re just getting started.

​

​

We don’t just build unique websites that businesses can be proud of — we’re there for each step of the journey, from choosing a logo provider to setting up a professional email address and curating a dynamic digital presence to get noticed on search engines. For all the advances of technology, it’s also meant that the vast majority of small businesses have been getting left behind.
