Would you like to be part of an innovative company with a significant social impact? Innovamat is looking for someone like you 😎

As we continue to scale internationally, we are strengthening the strategic and organizational backbone of the company to support our next phase of growth. To do so, we are building out our Strategy Department, in which the Strategy Associate will play a critical role.

We are looking for a Strategy Associate based in Barcelona to work on some of the most important decisions facing the company.

This is a role designed for someone early in their career who wants to learn fast and take on meaningful responsibility. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and decision-making across the company. The Strategy Associate will help bring analytical rigor, structure, and clarity to the company's most important strategic priorities. At the same time, we expect you to be willing to roll up your sleeves and participate directly in operational initiatives (for example supporting a commercial campaign, market launch, or product rollout) to understand how the business works in practice.

This is a unique opportunity to be in a high-visibility, high-ownership role with exposure across the organization and direct collaboration with senior leadership!

People in similar roles at Innovamat have gone on to take on responsibilities far beyond their years of experience. We expect the scope of this role to grow quickly as the person in it develops. Our goal is that the person who takes this position will eventually lead major initiatives across the company.

One thing to know upfront: this role can take you abroad. When a strategic challenge comes up in one of our key growth markets - the US, Mexico, or anywhere else we operate - we may offer the person in this role to relocate there and support launch or lead projects on the ground. These challenges are amazing opportunities to grow, know the business operations first and gain responsibility fast, early on. We're looking for someone who's excited at the prospect of this happening.
