About Plans
Our carbon emissions are still increasing, and the evidence for dramatic climate change is all around. We want to do our part in solving it.
In Europe, 12% of our carbon emissions come from heating our homes, just as much as from our cars. Getting those emissions to zero is a huge task: 90 million buildings need renovating, across many countries.
Plans’ mission is to decarbonise buildings faster by making renovation easy and accessible. Along the way, that makes for better buildings to live and work in.
We’ve raised €11M from strong investors, including Lowercarbon, Norrsken VC, Partech, Foundamental and MCJ Collective.
About the role
Over the last couple of years we’ve built the foundation. We hold a dataset of building interiors with a depth and coverage we haven’t seen anywhere else: measured room by room in 3D, with materials, installations, condition and energy, recorded by the people who know buildings best, and with the owner’s consent. It grows every day in Denmark and France, and from 2027 it becomes a standard part of a significant share of all Danish property sales. The foundation is in place. What’s next is putting it to use.
Today, every decision about a building needs someone to go and look. That’s expensive, so it rarely happens, and most of the renovations that should happen are never even costed. With the right data, a craftsman can quote without a site visit. A bank can see what an energy renovation means for a property before the loan is approved. An insurer can price the building that is actually there.
We’re a strong product team that ships. Commercial partnerships are the one area where we’re thin, and we want to change that. So we’re hiring a Commercial Lead, Denmark to put our data to work with the people who make decisions about buildings: insurers, banks and mortgage lenders, real-estate chains and property portals, craftsmen and installers. Internally we call this downstream.
Concretely, that means two things. First, get the first results where things can move quickly: with real-estate chains, portals and craftsmen. Second, the partners with the most to gain are also the slowest to move. Insurers and banks are large, regulated and careful with data, and rightly so. There, the job is to build the trust and the joint solutions that get them moving.
You’re not a salesperson chasing a quota. You understand the other side’s business well enough that together you can work out what property data could change in a quote, a loan, a claim or a listing, and then build it. The vast majority of our code is AI-assisted, so an idea from a partner meeting can quickly become a prototype you look at together.
The demand is already there. A concept for estate agents runs on our platform, several large players in the property market have asked for products we don’t offer yet, and we’re in conversations with a number of them. What’s missing is one person who owns those relationships and moves them forward.
Denmark has a special role in this. We’re lucky to have excellent open data, a small digital ecosystem and pragmatic people on every side of the table. That’s why we expect Denmark to become the blueprint for how to make a renovation wave happen everywhere else.
Our partners negotiate in Danish, so native-level Danish is essential for this role. We work in English internally.
The role is new, and we’re upfront about that. You get the freedom to shape it, you report to our CEO, and you get a seat on the management team. You start on your own, and once the first partnerships are in place, you build a team around them. We agree the first-year goals when you start, and within the first six months we review together whether we’re on track.
This role is based at Plans’ HQ in Copenhagen. We work from the office together. It’s how we build.
What you will do
- Own the partnerships. You’re responsible for our Danish partnerships: the relationships, the agreements and what we build together.
- Understand the partner’s business. Find the places where knowing a building from the inside makes a real difference, for them and for the owners.
- Build with them. Start joint projects and pilots, with clear criteria for what success looks like and what it takes to go further.
- Design the deals. Who contributes what, how the upside is shared, how the data may be used, and what owners have consented to.
- Be the partners’ voice inside Plans. Work closely with product and engineering on what to build, and say no to what doesn’t make sense for both sides.
- Find out what works. After the first year, we should know which partners to build the next years with.
Who you are
Must-haves:
- You speak and write Danish at native level, and you have good English. We work in English internally.
- You’ve built and run strategic partnerships, typically for seven years or more, ideally with large, regulated organisations where decisions take time and involve many people.
- You know at least one of these fields from the inside: insurance, banking or mortgage lending, real-estate chains or property portals, energy, construction or renovation.
- You can negotiate deals where both sides contribute and share the upside, including terms for how data is used.
- You’re persistent. You keep a long process moving when the other side is slow, and you say so when something isn’t going anywhere.
- You’re comfortable with early-stage ambiguity, and comfortable being the one who decides.
- You’re passionate about contributing meaningfully, concretely and positively to fighting climate change. Not all the work we’ll be doing is the most glorious, but we’re here to solve a climate problem, and solving it is our first priority.
Great-to-haves:
- You’ve built a new business, a joint venture or a partner programme from scratch.
- You’ve worked with data products, consent or data-processing agreements.
- You know the Danish property sale from the inside: the tilstandsrapport, the energimærke, ejerskifteforsikring and the estate agent’s role.
- You’re product-minded, like to tinker, and use LLMs at work or in your own projects.
Even if you feel you don’t meet every must-have, we encourage you to apply anyway. We know the confidence gap and imposter syndrome can get in the way of companies meeting great candidates, and we don’t want them to get in the way of meeting you.
Compensation and benefits
- The salary range for this position is 60,000–80,000 DKK per month, commensurate with experience.
- Bonus tied to the goals we agree.
- Competitive warrant package.
- Company-sponsored pension plan.
- Six weeks of paid vacation per year.
- Reimbursement of home internet and phone plans.
- Flexible working hours.
- Ongoing social events and festivities.
- We all gather in person as a company every quarter for off-sites, workshops and team activities.
How to apply
Send your CV and a few lines about a partnership you’re proud of to jobs@plans.app: who it was with, what you built together, and what made the other side say yes. The process is a conversation with our CEO, a walkthrough of a partnership you’ve built, a short paid case, a meeting with the team, and references.
