The role

We're looking for a VP Sales to join our crew in Barcelona and own the strategy for our human-led Sales: the part of our business where a Sales rep steps in between a tenant and an owner to close the deal.

This is an inbound, transactional, high-volume business (40k leads per year), international and B2C, with an average basket of €7K.

Reporting directly to the COO, you'll lead a team of 4 Sales Managers handling around 15 Sales Executives and 25 seasonal employees, with full ownership of your team's recruitment and the whole Sales cycle.

Today, the Sales team drives 20% of the company's revenue, as 80% is product-led.

Your mission is clear: deliver the yearly expected revenue base while :

  • Challenging the Sales approach we've had for the past 10 years

  • Managing potential geographical and segment expansion

  • Assessing where AI could be wisely introduced in our Sales cycle.

You'll shape the strategy, own the execution, and measure the impact.

What you'll do

You will be responsible for the following:

  • Defining and executing the human-led Sales strategy, from first contact to closing, to reach your revenue objective. Lead generation stays out of your scope.

  • Leading, mentoring, and growing a team of 4 Sales Managers, setting clear objectives aligned with company goals and building a culture of accountability, constant feedback, and raising the bar.

  • Ensuring the quality and delivery of recruitment by collaborating with the Talent Acquisition team.

  • Managing the Sales side of potential business expansion into new geographies like the U.S. or segments like luxury yachting.

  • Introducing AI into the dealflow when relevant.

  • Managing your P&L according to budget.

How you'll work

💻 Remote work policy: 1 day per week, depending on periods of the year and seniority.

🌊 A welcoming office in Barcelona, next to the centrally located Cathedral and a 20-minute walk from the sea.

Contract: Full-time, permanent.

Hiring process

  1. HR call (Guillaume) - 45 min. Culture fit, motivation, salary alignment, experience overview.

  2. Deep-dive with the COO, your hiring manager - 1h30. Strategic thinking; Sales expertise (track record, Sales mindset); Management expertise (leadership style, hands-on attitude); Data skills (analytical rigour).

  3. Business case, with the COO - 1h30. Assessing strategic vision, structured thinking, ability to prioritise, data-driven reasoning, and communication. Case details set by the COO.

  4. Validation and culture fit call (CEO/ VP HR) - 1h. Final alignment, open questions, culture and values fit, expectations, and onboarding.

We aim to keep things smooth, transparent, and respectful of your time throughout the process.
