Are you fluent in German, enjoy connecting with people, and looking for a flexible part-time or full-time role in Groningen? Recras, a leading SaaS platform for recreation companies, is looking for a motivated individual to help expand our client base by reaching out to potential customers in Germany. 

What is Recras?

Recras is a SaaS management and reservation system for recreation companies, such as climbing parks, water-ski tracks and outdoor companies.

Every day, some 2,500 users work with our system and we process a total of 500,000 reservations per year. Recras consists of a small, relaxed, driven team of 9 people.
