what3words is revolutionising the way the world talks about location. Street addresses aren’t accurate enough to specify specific entrances, and they don’t exist for parks, rural areas and many parts of the world. This causes frustration, inefficiencies and can be dangerous.
That’s why we created what3words.
We have divided the globe into a grid of 3m x 3m squares, and given each one a unique combination of three words: a what3words address. It’s an easy way to find and share precise locations.
what3words is being used in 193 countries, and our monthly active users continue to grow at an impressive pace. Our tech is used by thousands of emergency services, delivery companies, eCommerce businesses, ride-hailing apps and NGOs, and is integrated into the navigation systems of millions of cars around the world.🚀
The Role
You’ll be based in our Ulaanbaatar office, but this isn’t your typical UB-based sales role! As a Business Development Associate, you’ll work closely with our London HQ and sell to businesses in the UK, using English daily, whether in emails, Slack, or Zoom calls. You’ll be part of a tight-knit team in UB, collaborating across business development, marketing, and operations, all while helping businesses integrate what3words to improve logistics, deliveries, and more. Plus, you’ll enjoy the flexibility of working from home on Thursdays and Fridays!
Your team is a group of talented people from all over the world on an unprecedented journey. Every day brings new challenges and we are always learning. You will be proud to see your individual and team contributions making a real difference.🌍
If you are a recent graduate or similar that is looking to join a rapidly-growing business in its scale-up phase that values entrepreneurial thinking and creative decision making, this is your unique opportunity.
