Learn how to sell a new way of living, and help thousands of people move to a new city.
Every month, people from all over the world choose Ukio to start a new chapter in Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon or Paris. As a B2C Sales Intern, you'll be one of the first people they talk to. You'll help turn their first enquiry into a booked home, and you'll learn the full sales cycle at a fast-growing, VC-backed startup.
About Ukio |
Ukio offers fully furnished, beautifully designed apartments for stays from one month. There are no long-term contracts, no deposits, no broker fees and no furniture to buy. Our mission is simple: let people live where they want, when they want.
We were founded in Barcelona and now have offices in Madrid, Lisbon and Paris. We've raised a €27M Series A from some of Europe's top VC firms, LinkedIn ranks us among the top 10 startups in Spain, and we're just getting started on our expansion across Europe.

What We Do
Ukio’s mission is to empower individuals to live where they want, when they want. Since our founding in 2020, we’ve successfully turned the traditional real estate market upside down by providing fully furnished and artfully designed apartments for stays starting at one month. Our guests love that renting an apartment with Ukio is as easy as it looks. We take out the hassle surrounding finding a rental with no long-term contracts, security deposits, or broker fees, and we provide all furniture, making every apartment ready to use from the minute you walk in the front door. Ultimately, we give the choice and flexibility to allow people to live where they want, when they want, as simple as making a reservation on our website, and that’s the power of Ukio. Even though Ukio is a Barcelona based startup, our reach is not limited to within our headquarter city. We also have offices in Madrid, Lisbon, Berlin and Paris, with more exciting places on the way. One day, you’ll be seeing Ukio apartments across Europe and even the world, but for now, we’ve got big plans to strengthen our relations in our existing cities and spread our reach across Western Europe. Backed by Europe’s best Venture Capital firms, we’ve successfully raised €27M ($28M) in Series A funding which will help propel our growth in the coming year. We’re looking to further build out our teams and expand into new markets as we reach a critical phase in our growth plan, so can we count on you to be a part of the ride?
