Director, EMEA Enterprise Sales London

Zip is tackling the $50B+ TAM space to transform the way businesses manage spend. Our co-founders started Zip (YC S2020) because they saw the challenges companies had using outdated 20-year-old software to manage hundreds of millions of dollars in spend every year. We invented the world's leading Intake-to-Procure solution to bring a consumer-grade user experience to B2B purchasing. And, we're just getting started.

We're a fast-growing team that helped scale category-defining companies like Airbnb, Facebook, Salesforce, Apple, Quora, Pinterest, and Square. With $180 million in funding from YC Continuity (Y Combinator), CRV, and Tiger Global, we're valued at $1.5 billion in just 3 years. In today's economic climate, the value we offer our customers is more critical than ever and our business is accelerating. We're growing quickly and need your help!
