About Ukio |
We are one of the most promising startups of 2026 with headquarters in Spain. We were founded in Barcelona, and since then, we've expanded to include offices in Madrid, Lisbon, and Paris. This is only the beginning as we've got our sights set on spreading to the rest of Europe and later to include other continents as well .
Ukio's mission is to empower individuals to live where they want, when they want . We do this by disrupting the traditional residential real estate market, providing fully furnished and artfully designed apartments for stays starting at one month. We remove all the hassle around finding a rental with no long-term contracts, security deposits, broker fees, moving/buying furniture, etc., giving choice and flexibility to allow people to plant their roots anywhere .
Backed by Europe's best Venture Capital firms, this year will be vital in our growth as we look to further build out our team, further establish ourselves in our current markets, and expand our reach into multiple new markets . We are currently ranked in the top 10 startups in Spain by Linkedin, and we have successfully raised a Series A investment round of €27 million that will help propel our growth throughout Western Europe and bring us closer to reaching our goals.

It's a role with a high volume of external interlocution, where negotiating with sound judgment is just as important as maintaining documentation rigor.

- Collaborate with the Property Management, Finance, and Legal teams to ensure negotiated agreements are operationally and legally viable.
- Prepare proposals, comparisons, and business cases to support negotiations (e.g. profitability analysis, occupancy, market benchmarks).
Requirements |
- Previous experience in real estate, negotiation, procurement, or business development.
- Fluent Spanish; advanced English
