Technical Due Diligence Coordinator (m/f/d) - Hybrid

What is Due Diligence?

The pre-launch / Due Diligence is the critical step to assess a building before numa signes a long term contract with the property owner. To avoid technical and operational cost after having signed a contract, the Due Diligence team visits properties during the pre-signing stage. To identify potential future costs related to the infrastructure from a technical and operational point of view. 

In addition to the visit and the reporting the team assesses how much budget should be invested to make the property a numa product. If that is done and numa decides to go ahead with renting the property, the DD-Team is in the pivot point between, real estate, interior design, operations and the launch departments. Often it also includes communicating or negotiating with the property owner in order to assure a smooth preparation for the launch team. 

This is an amazing opportunity to be part of a growing team. Numa is at the heart of the cutting edge of hospitality technology combined with brick and mortar real estate. We assess a maximum number of deals across several cities such as Barcelona, Berlin, Madrid, Milan, Munich, Sevilla and Vienna just to name a few!
