About Wunderflats Plus

Wunderflats Plus is our end-to-end property management and operations business unit: In Berlin, operations are run fully in-house. In other cities, services are delivered via partners, vendors, and operators. This business unit manages the entire lifecycle of apartment preparation, handover, furnishing, maintenance coordination, tenant communication, occupancy management, and landlord satisfaction. Today, it generates €0.5M–€1M in annual revenue, with clear potential to 10× this number through growth in Berlin and expansion to new German and European cities.

This unit is strategically critical: It brings unique, exclusive supply to Wunderflats. It allows us to deeply understand landlords’ real operational needs. It creates differentiation in the marketplace and scaling opportunities across Europe.

As Head of Wunderflats Plus (f/w/d), you will be the P&L owner and business leader for our entire property management and operations division. You will run an operations-heavy, customer-centric business: part field operations, part real estate operations, part service quality, and part commercial scaling. You will lead a team of 7 direct reports plus freelancers and partner operators, ensuring exceptional quality for landlords and tenants — while building the operational engine that allows Wunderflats Plus to scale rapidly and reliably. This is a role for an ambitious, decisive operator who thrives in complexity, solves problems quickly, and builds structure without losing speed.

Does this sound like the right next step in your career? We would like to hear from you!
