Athens, Attica, Greece Blueground Full time €45,000 - €60,000 per year

Description
Redefining how people live.

At Blueground, we believe that when your base is reliable, the world opens up. That's why we're building the world's leading platform for living.

Every year, 350 million people move between cities—yet today's housing options haven't caught up with the needs of this modern, mobile generation. Blueground was built to change that.

With 40,000+ homes across the globe, available for stays from a few days to a year or more, we're just getting started. We're on an exponential growth path to redefine living and create an entirely new category. Our edge? Powerful proprietary tech, operational excellence, and a team that executes with speed and discipline.

Our Culture Is Grounded In Five Principles

  • Guests First – Every decision starts with their experience.
  • Move Fast – We value speed, momentum, and action.
  • Dive In – The magic is always in the details, and we go deep.
  • Embrace Change – Change isn't a disruption; it's how we grow.
  • Keep It Honest – Transparency accelerates progress—and strengthens relationships.

If you're ready to do the best work of your life and help reshape how the world lives, we'd love to meet you.

About The Role
We are seeking a results-driven Vendor Manager to join our Central Operations team.

  • Monitor contract performance and drive continuous improvement through regular reviews and feedback
  • Oversee compliance, pricing accuracy, and invoice validation through structured audits
  • Maintain up-to-date vendor dashboards and documentation for transparency and decision-making
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Legal, Finance, and Operations to align vendor performance with business goals

Vendor Categories May Include

  • Utilities and telecom providers
  • Cleaning service contractors
  • Maintenance and repair contractors
  • Movers and storage/warehouse providers
  • Furniture leasing companies
  • Professional photographers (for property visuals and listings)

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in vendor management, procurement, or operations, preferably in a multi-country or multi-city setting
  • Proven track record in managing service-based vendors and negotiating contracts
  • Strong understanding of operational processes in the service or hospitality sector
  • Advanced Excel and data analysis capabilities; familiarity with procurement tools or ERP systems
  • Excellent organizational, communication, and stakeholder management skills
  • High attention to detail and a proactive, solution-oriented mindset
  • Fluent in English; additional EMEA languages are a strong advantage
  • Comfortable working remotely and managing multiple time zones

Benefits

  • Competitive salary & up to 15% annual bonus
  • Flexible Paid Time Off
  • Group Health Insurance program
