We are partnering with a fast-growing European HR-tech and logistics spin-off, targeting employee well-being and nutrition. This ambitious company is a leader in the HR space with 20 years of experience, now launching a bold, innovative project focused on a subscription-based solution of highly targeted health foods, superfoods, and supplements, supported by a cutting-edge well-being application. They don’t sell products; they sell a movement and a solution to critical corporate issues like absenteeism, retention, and mental health.

With a €3 million investment planned for Spain, they are establishing their international brand, trademark, and operations hub in Barcelona (with an expansion to Madrid soon after). They need a dynamic, results-focused, and hands-on Country Manager to be their first and most critical hire, reporting directly to the Board/Founders, to drive the Spanish market from scratch. This is a chance to lead a high-impact European expansion from the ground floor.

  • Spanish (C2 / Native proficiency): Mandatory.

  • English (C1 / Professional working proficiency): Mandatory for reporting to the Board and coordinating with the international team.

  • End-to-End Brand Launch: Own the successful launch of the new trademark, brand identity, and web presence, ensuring its positive reception and rapid adoption in the local market.

  • Operational Oversight: Oversee the initial establishment and running of the Barcelona-based operations, including the negotiation of office space, warehouse facilities (especially the cold-chain logistics), and last-mile delivery.

  • Strategic Marketing & Events: Plan and execute local sales and marketing events, and coordinate with the international team on brand development, influencer engagement (nutritionists/health institutions), and digital channel strategy.

  • Customer & Product Feedback Loop: Act as the local expert, gathering crucial market feedback on product line, packaging, and pricing to ensure the offering remains flexible and competitive.

  • Vendor & Supplier Intelligence (Ongoing): Maintain an ongoing overview of local ingredient costs and suppliers, providing feedback to the HQ procurement team to optimize product quality and cost-effectiveness.

  • Drive Key KPIs: Quickly achieve the initial benchmark of 100 daily deliveries/packages (approximately 10-30 client offices) and set the path toward the €10 million sales goal.

The ideal candidate is a highly motivated, sales-driven leader who possesses a strong network of relevant professional contacts.

  • B2B Sales to HR Decision Makers: Proven track record (3-5+ years) of successful selling services or solutions to HR personnel in companies, ideally coming from recruitment agencies (Adecco, Randstad, Manpower), HR-tech, or flexible remuneration solutions (e.g., Factorial).

  • Entrepreneurial & Hands-On Mentality: Must be willing to be highly operational and "walk the walk, talk the talk." This role demands intense involvement in all aspects of the business, not just strategic planning.

  • Strategic Role & Direct Impact: This is a highly visible, strategic role reporting directly to the Board (Founders), giving you maximum influence on the future of the European expansion.

  • Competitive Compensation: The client is committed to paying for the best talent. The salary is highly competitive and negotiable, starting off at 50Kbut with quite some room for negotiation for the right profile, with a strong focus on aligning compensation with the strategic importance of this role.

  • Location: Access to their new, modern office in District 22 (Barcelona), with flexible work arrangements, including home office options. They are focused on results, not fixed hours or location.

  • Spanish Contract: Permanent, full-time contract under the Spanish legal entity.

  • Start Date: Ideally January 1st, though they are open to an earlier start to integrate you into development and planning.

  • Stage 1: Interview with one of our recruiters!
