About Flipdish

Flipdish is a unicorn based in Dublin but with offices in London, New York, Paris, Barcelona and Berlin. Their mission is to help restaurants flippin’ thrive by building technology that gives SMEs an advantage over their competitors, like marketplaces. In a few short years they will become Europe’s runaway leader in their category, with IPO in sight.

Over the last decade, technology has dramatically changed how customers are choosing to order and pay for food, leaving many restaurants and takeaways to rely on marketplaces for online orders. Flipdish has built a digital ordering system that puts restaurants and takeaways of all sizes in control of their business growth. Flipdish’s subsequent growth has been underpinned by the belief that key partnerships with restaurants and takeaways, helping them to build their brands and charging a fair fee, provide significant benefits to both restaurants and the Flipdish platform in the long term. Flipdish’s core business model is readily applicable to a wide variety of client contexts, with commission fees per order charged at a fraction of the cost of aggregators.

With a branded website and app powered by proprietary platform technology, restaurant owners can directly accept online orders, at a lower cost and with more control over the customer experience. Flipdish’s core product suite includes whitelabeled websites, mobile applications, kiosks and qr order and pay solutions. Today, Flipdish is a global business with more than 8000 customers in 25 countries. Their growth trajectory shows no signs of slowing down.

In January 2022, Flipdish achieved unicorn status, raising a $100M Series C round led by Tencent and Tiger Global. With this funding, Flipdish is further strengthening its market leading product suite and sales team and acquiring attractive bolt on businesses, which will help pave the way for Flipdish to become one of Europe's few decacorns.

What You’ll Do

Reporting directly to the Chief Revenue Officer (Co-Founder), James McCarthy, your role as Chief Commercial Officer will be critical to leading, shaping and driving Flipdish’s revenue channels. You will structure and scale the Country Manager team (UK, Ireland, Spain + Italy + Portugal, France + Benelux, North America, DACH) providing guidance and leadership on all revenue related topics including: defining our USP, strengthening our customer segmentation, challenging our sales structure and strategy, setting ambitious sales and account growth targets and guiding each Country Manager to meet and exceed them. You will play a leading role in assessing how best to build relationships with new and current clients and guide our success team to extract maximum value out of every customer account.

This role requires an ambitious and seasoned revenue leader who will help Flipdish codify, professionalise and scale its sales organisation to drive maximum efficiency and reach its full revenue potential. Flipdish intends to process $1Bn in GMV in the next couple of years and is looking for a Revenue leader who is energised by the hard work and thought leadership that will be required to get there. With kiosks solutions becoming increasingly prevalent, there is a unique window for Flipdish to become the clear market leader across every digital ordering vertical. Each digital product currently has a different TAM, different USP, different go to market strategy and different level of maturity. As Flipdish navigates this evolving landscape, the Chief Commercial Officer will be afforded the opportunity to play a meaningful part in defining this next phase of growth at Flipdish while also helping hundreds of thousands of SMBs survive and thrive.
