ABOUT FAULTFIXERS No doubt you yourself have wanted to report a fault or maintenance issue in a building you use regularly (workplace or residential) BUT couldn’t be bothered to report it because it takes a lot of effort on your part + you never find out about what happens even if you did report it – bleugh, old-fashioned reporting, see you later! FaultFixers is a fresh new SaaS + app startup (recently funded) looking to change the customer experience for every building user by giving them a super simple, hassle-free AND quick (less than 30 secs) way to report and highlight faults + issues directly to facilities/building managers, and be kept up to date with the resolution efforts – i.e. know what’s being done about that out-of-action lift, making you walk 3 flights of stairs!

ABOUT   FaultFixers: No doubt you yourself have wanted to report a fault or maintenance issue in a building you use regularly (workplace or residential)   BUT   couldn’t be bothered to report it because it takes a lot of effort on your part + you never find out about what happens even if you did report it – bleugh, old-fashioned reporting, see you later! FaultFixers   is a fresh new SaaS + App startup (recently funded) looking to change the customer experience for every building user by giving them a super simple, hassle-free   AND   quick (less than 30 secs) way to report and highlight faults + issues directly to facilities/building managers, and be kept up to date with the resolution efforts – i.e. know what’s being done about that out-of-action lift, making you walk 3 flights of stairs! We make the process for users SO simple that it encourages them to report faults when they occur, not just when they become emergencies. We’re determined to make a socially positive impact to residential building users, helping them to have safer, better housing spaces. We also help the customers (facilities/building managers) to save costs in multiple ways (service provision – it’s more costly to fix leaks than floods / internal operations – no more spending 8 mins (avg!) asking the reporter where they are and what’s the problem) plus loads more – IT’S   PRETTY  OBVIOUS , right? As briefly mentioned, we’ve recently secured industry expert advisors ( FTSE   CEO s) + funding to grow the business development and engineering capabilities, and we’re really excited about finding an enthusiastic individual to join us on our journey.

You will directly help set and drive the business development/sales strategy of FaultFixers – if you want to change the way we currently do it, then we’re open to hearing your suggestions! This includes strategy, processes, and structures for us to be able to achieve targets/goals. Personality wise: you’ll do best if you are articulate, passionate about our products and their benefits, and also are self-motivated and ambitious in building out the role into hopefully a larger business development team in the near future. You need to know what it takes to make it happen when it’s a small team in an early business.
