Job description

🪐 Discover our galaxy

Malt is Europe's leading freelancing platform with one clear mission: to give people the freedom to choose who they work with. Co-founded in 2013 by Vincent Huguet, who still serves as CEO, Malt is a tech company with a human approach that helps companies and freelancers make the perfect match.

Malt is a marketplace that embraces a community of over 700,000 freelancers and over 70,000 clients, ranging from small and medium-sized enterprises to large corporations. More than just a connector, our marketplace streamlines freelancer-client communications, simplifies administrative and legal tasks, expedites invoicing and payments, and so much more.

We are all about giving both freelancers and companies choice and added peace of mind, so that every experience on Malt is nothing less than (inter)stellar. The launch of Malt Strategy in 2023 enabled Malt to broaden its scope by offering the expertise of a network of top independent consultants and transition managers, to better support companies from the strategy to the implementation of ambitious projects.

✨ Malt is also…

- a tech company with a human approach

- a company with a strong culture fueled by 700 Malters from 40+ nationalities, working from 9 countries all around Europe - Germany, Belgium, United Arab Emirates, Spain, France, Netherlands, Nordic countries, United Kingdom, and Switzerland.

- committed to creating a safe and inclusive space where every employee can thrive both personally and professionally

- committed to equality and diversity (50% of People managers are women)

- a company with strong career path policies allowing all Malters to develop and grow equally

- backed by renowned investors including ISAI, Serena, Eurazeo Growth, Goldman Sachs and BPI France
