The role

At Candee, we are managing this position of General Manager of Used Equipment for Equipzilla.

Lead the launch and growth of a new business unit with the ambition of becoming a benchmark in the digital buying and selling of used machinery.

Your mission will not only be to lead sales: you will be one of the key people in building the business model, helping to define processes, tools, the commercial network, and the value proposition.

We are looking for a person with an entrepreneurial mindset, commercial vision, and execution capability, who enjoys creating businesses from scratch and wants to challenge the traditional way of doing things to build a smarter, more scalable, and data-driven model.

What you'll do

  • Actively participating in product definition and in the construction of a technological platform that allows the used machinery buying-selling business to scale.

  • Designing and leading the acquisition and sale strategy for used machinery.

  • Creating and developing a solid network of buyers, sellers, distributors, dealers, renters, and strategic partners.

  • Detecting purchase opportunities and validating operations from an economic, commercial, and operational perspective.

  • Defining valuation, pricing, and inventory management processes supported by data.

  • Coordinating inspection, transport, refurbishment (retrofit), and market entry operations.

  • Leading the commercial strategy in both retail and wholesale channels.

  • Supervising key business indicators such as margin, turnover, days of stock, or claims.

  • Identifying national and international expansion opportunities.

  • Leading the business unit team.

In their own words

About the company & team

Equipzilla was born to digitally transform a traditional sector: industrial and construction machinery.

Equipzilla is building the equivalent of Auto1 / Carvana for industrial machinery in Iberia: a used equipment buying and selling platform based on technology, data, and industrial workflows.

The project is backed by a leading industrial group in the sector in Europe, which provides access to supply and operational capacity from day one.

Now we are looking for the person to lead this business unit from its launch.

According to what the Equipzilla team has told us, the best part of working here is:

  • ⚙️ Being part of the digitalization of one of Europe's most traditional sectors, bringing technology, data, and efficiency to the machinery industry.

  • 💡 Questioning the way things have always been done to build smarter, more scalable, and technological solutions that generate a real impact on the market.

  • 🚜 Contributing to connecting companies across the country through a platform that has already established itself as a benchmark in the sector.

You will lead the new used machinery buying and selling business unit, a project with the vocation to become one of Equipzilla's main growth levers.

From day one, you will have a team in your charge, made up of both people who are already part of the company and new profiles that will be joining as the project grows.

You will work very closely with the founder of Equipzilla, and you will collaborate cross-functionally with the Technology and Product teams to build a platform capable of transforming the way used machinery is bought and sold.

You will have a high degree of autonomy and decision-making capacity. More than leading a department, you will take on the challenge of growing a new business unit with an entrepreneurial mindset and long-term vision.
