Open a new market for Mendo

You have mastered complex enterprise sales cycles. Now you want a role where you can leave a mark on a category that is being defined right now.

At Mendo, we help large organizations turn GenAI into real, lasting transformation. Our platform is embedded in the tools people already use (Microsoft Copilot, Teams, Outlook, ChatGPT, Gemini and more). It covers the full journey: widespread, high-quality adoption, measurable ROI, and the foundations for agents and agentic workflows. Adoption is where it starts. Transformation is what our clients buy.

More than 100 large organizations already trust Mendo, including PwC, Novo Nordisk, Crédit Agricole, Edenred and Groupe Rocher. Together they represent close to 100,000 employees supported across Europe. We have tripled revenue every year since launch. In June 2026 we closed a €12M Series A led by Ventech with Educapital, after a €3.5M seed in 2024.

Opening the United Kingdom and Ireland is one of our next big moves. That is where you come in.
