Lead Account Manager - US Market

⚓ About Click&Boat

Click&Boat is a rental platform product of Boats Group, the fastest-growing digital business in the recreational boating space. We are a talented team of techies, creatives, marketers, closers and customer advocates who spend each day pushing the boundaries of technology to make buying, selling & renting boats easy.

Click&Boat is the European leader in boat rentals, with over €170M in annual GMV and a community of 2.4M+ registered users across 150+ countries worldwide. Our marketplace makes boating accessible around the globe, from a day trip to a week-long adventure, while enabling private and professional boat owners to generate additional income through rentals.

To fuel our next phase of growth, we're hiring a Team Lead US to relaunch and develop our US market and build the team behind it, based in our Barcelona office.

🚤 The role

We're looking for a Team Lead US to join our crew in Barcelona and drive the relaunch and development of the US market: building a high-quality boat fleet, developing strong relationships with boat owners and operators across the US, and leading a growing team responsible for supply acquisition, owner retention, and fleet performance.

This is a hands-on leadership role combining team management, recruitment, commercial execution, and operational excellence. You'll directly manage 6 to 10 team members, with the team expected to grow as the US market develops, and you'll put in place the processes needed to scale our US operations.

You'll report to our VP Supply and work in close partnership with them to set priorities and build scalable acquisition and account management processes.

Because you'll be working from Barcelona with US-based owners and operators, your working hours are 11:00 to 20:00 (Barcelona time), to stay aligned with the US market.
