⌘About Timeleft
Timeleft is a social app that brings strangers together. We match people into groups of 6 and send them to restaurants, cafés, and bars for dinners, drinks, coffees, and runs. Every week, 150,000+ people use Timeleft across 200+ cities in 52 countries. We're 100 employees and growing fast.
Paris is our biggest city — 1,200+ people seated every week. It's also where we're reinventing how we work with restaurants, bars and coffee shops. That's where you come in.
⌘The role
You will build and own Timeleft's venue partnerships in Paris, establishing strong, long-term partnerships with restaurants, bars and coffeeshops.
This role sits at the intersection of business development and hospitality. You are responsible for sourcing and managing a high-quality network of venue partners, and making sure every dinner, drink, or gathering runs smoothly from a supply perspective.
You will work directly with venue owners and managers, building trust-based relationships that translate into reliable, recurring availability. At the same time, you will contribute to early-stage business development - identifying new formats, new partners, and new ways to grow the supply side of the network.
This is a hands-on, field-first role with real ownership of the local market.
