About Us

Six years ago, we built Joberty with a simple but ambitious vision: to bring the entire IT community of Southeast Europe into one place. What began as a small idea grew into a real company with established processes, a strong team, clear roles, and a recognizable brand.

Now, we are entering a new stage of growth, aiming to build an innovative ecosystem of HR products in SEE. As part of that strategy, we are launching new products and initiatives in 2026, while redefining our internal structure. To move this broader strategy forward, we're hiring a General Manager to join our leadership team. We are looking for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset, a deep understanding of both sales and the IT ecosystem in SEE, to lead the organization in founder mode.

What You'll Do

We are a sales organization, thus 70% of your time will be focused on sales and business development.

• Lead daily operations and drive Joberty into its next growth stage
• Lead a remote team of 5 people in Serbia and Croatia, with a potential of hiring additional people in the future months
• Work closely with all employees and mentor where needed
• Develop and execute strategies for sales, revenue streams, and market expansion
• Own the P&L and ensure financial clarity while pushing for smart growth
• Strengthen and expand relationships with HR professionals and IT companies across SEE
• Act as the main decision-maker - founders will support you, but not decide for you
• Identify new revenue opportunities, partnerships, and funding options
• Oversee product development needs and priorities
• Lead by example, demonstrating high energy, adaptability, and startup grit

Who You Are

Preferably, you are a Head of Sales with a track record of working in small companies, or a hands-on startup founder. You are familiar with the IT industry, ideally with experience selling software to HR teams (a 10+ meetings-per-week rhythm).

• Sales-oriented, self-driven, and well-connected with HR professionals and IT companies in the SEE region
• Understand the startup lifecycle and know how to access funding or investments
• Comfortable with startup speed, ambiguity, and constant testing
• Financially savvy and confident with managing budgets, costs, and P&L responsibilities
• Resilient, motivated, and able to lead by example
• Known and liked by people even outside work
• Self-motivated, especially during challenging times
• Someone who believes that meaningful rewards come after real effort, and is willing to invest long-term

What We Offer

Real impact, constant personal growth, and the opportunity to build something big, impactful, and regionally important.

• A chance to lead a recognized brand in the SEE IT ecosystem
• Full creative and strategic freedom - your decisions will shape the company
• Absolute support from the founders, day and night
• Compensation package: base salary + bonus + company shares

Ready to Lead Joberty's Next Chapter?

Before you apply, know this:

Joberty is deeply personal to us. We have lived and breathed this company for six years. Days, nights, weekends… Joberty was treated like a growing human being who needed our full attention. This level of care shaped who we are and how we work. If you join us, you're stepping into something we truly love.

Also very important:

We don't want to influence your style nor limit your ideas. You'll have full freedom to shape Joberty's next chapter, but you need to match the pace, mindset, and energy that come with this role in our loving startup.

If this sounds like the kind of challenge you've been waiting for, we'd love to hear from you.

Even if you don't fit the job requirements, but deep in your heart you do believe you are the right person for the role - apply anyway. We like to find those outliers and give them the opportunity of a lifetime.

Interview process:

• Send us your CV and a short note about why you believe you're the right person to lead Joberty into its next era.
• If you pass the CV screening, you'll be interviewed by our CEO and other founders or team members. You need to pass the culture fit first before we move on further.
• In the next stage of the interview process, we will test your creative thinking. We don't care about the sales figures you brought to your ex-employers. All we want to see is that you are capable of bringing multiple initiatives into our organization and you are comfortable with changing directions, creating new tasks for the team, and testing different hypotheses. We want to make sure you'll test things, iterate often, and adapt quickly when you join us. Also, we will want to see that you match our rhythm and have the right kind of ambition that we are looking for.

Bonus advice: Be ready to show that you know more about Joberty than what it says on our website.

We can't wait to meet you Good luck
