The Role

We’re hiring the most senior leader in Spain, reporting to the COO, to own market performance end-to-end: operational excellence, growth, and P&L outcomes. You’ll shape and improve our physical operations (fleet, workshop, retail), lead a hands‑on team on the ground, and drive pragmatic growth initiatives (pricing, channels, partnerships) to build demand. This role requires an entrepreneurial operator with strong ownership, comfortable both running day-to-day operations and identifying opportunities to improve and grow the business.

This person will own the Spanish market performance across business outcomes: operational excellence, unit economics, customer experience and growth. This is a hands‑on, on-the-ground leadership role. You can expect to:

• Drive local growth strategy: identify demand constraints and run pragmatic tests (pricing, offers, channels, local partnerships) with clear measurement.
• Stabilise and scale core operations (workshop + retail + fleet logistics). Expand capacity thoughtfully as demand grows, ensuring process discipline and cost control.
• Deliver excellent B2B operations (SLA, onboarding, servicing, reporting) while maintaining focus on B2C growth (majority of the business).
• Own P&L rhythm for Spain: budgeting, forecasting, cost control, and trade-offs that protect unit economics while enabling growth.
• Hire, coach, and performance‑manage a high‑accountability frontline team; develop 1-2 strong leads to strengthen local leadership depth.
• Lead safety initiatives and programs to ensure we continue to keep customers and employees safe at scale.
• Own the weekly operating cadence and core KPIs for Spain. Ensure pragmatic processes that keep the operation in control are implemented and digested by the team.
• Create a high-performance culture: clear ownership, measurable goals, fast problem‑solving, and strong talent development.
• Act as the senior leader in Spain, partnering with central functions (Ops, Growth, Finance, Revenue, Tech, People) to set priorities, ensure support and deliver results.
• Handle local ‘GM admin’ with limited support: vendors, facilities topics, contracts coordination, and operational bureaucracy - solve problems end‑to‑end.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience managing frontline operations in a fast‑paced, physical environment (last‑mile, mobility, retail ops, field services, logistics).
• Proven track record improving measurable outcomes (throughput, quality, cost, availability, customer metrics) via hands‑on leadership and process discipline.
• You have hired and led frontline teams; comfortable with performance management and raising the bar in junior teams.
• You are an entrepreneurial operator with a high‑ownership mindset who thrives in ambiguous, decentralised international environments, proactively building solutions and driving impact without the need for constant direction.
• You have a bias for action and experimentation: identify levers, run tests (incl. pricing/channel changes), measure impact, iterates fast. Comfortable switching between floor‑level detail (workshop/retail) and business planning (forecasting, stakeholder updates).
• Basic P&L experience: has managed or strongly influenced revenue and cost lines; can budget/forecast and make trade‑offs.
• Comfortable handling administrative complexity and operational bureaucracy; can coordinate vendors/contracts/facilities issues end‑to‑end.
• Experience in a scale‑up or transformation environment with ambiguity and limited structure; can build order without heavy support.
• Humility is something that comes naturally to you. You’re a born collaborator and you care about getting to the right answer more than who came up with it.

Benefits

We offer you the chance to be part of a team at the cutting edge of the world’s electrification journey, including:

• Working with a switched on team that strives to make the streets greener and serve the rider
• Base Salary €65,000 - €85,000 plus bonus (depending on experience)
• Benefit from the company’s success, through equity options - giving you ownership in and financial upside to the company’s long term success
• Global and country-specific benefits packages
• Flexible working that is focussed on the delivery of OKRs
• Monthly team outings & events
• Get to know our product by using one of our e‑bikes
• Annual learning and development allowance
• Mental wellbeing support
