Subscription and utilities management platform for European households
papernest operates a consumer platform aggregating household subscriptions and utilities across France, Spain, and Italy. The hiring mix is heavily skewed toward sales (54 roles) and marketing (16), with engineering at 12—reflecting a business-model shift from product-first to distribution-led growth. Active projects cluster around paid acquisition scaling, partnership expansion, and market localization, while pain points center on conversion optimization and sales tooling, signaling operational friction in converting partner leads into paying users.
Notable leadership hires: Strategic Partnerships Lead, Productivity Lead, Site Production Director, Head of Talent Acquisition, Chief of staff
