This full-time role entails two different but interchanging set of activities:

ABOUT US:

We’ve made tonnes of progress towards this goal and have been growing fast, doing 7 figures in bookings since launch. Our clients include companies like Spotify, Product Hunt, Stack Overflow, BigCommerce and SAP, and a number of freelancers have earned over $100,000 from their work on Advisable.

However, we’re just getting started and we recently raised $2.5m in additional funding from Frontline Ventures, FJ Labs and some of Europe’s leading angels, including the founders of Supercell and Pipedrive.
We truly curate the freelancer segment of our business and look for the best talent out there to join our platform. In December 2020 we have launched the very first freelancer community and platform, Advisable Guild, gathering only crème de la crème marketing specialists who do amazing work for our clients every day.
