In their own words
About the company & team
🤔 Do you need more information to decide? Well, let us tell you who is behind Matteco.
Our co-founder and CEO is the serial entrepreneur and successful investor Iker Marcaide, a true fan of impact, who also founded Flywire, the first Spanish-origin company to go public on the Nasdaq with a value of $3.3bn. In 2014, already back in Spain, Iker began the Zubi adventure with the goal of creating impact companies to solve social and environmental challenges such as climate change, the creation of a circular economy, or poverty alleviation, mobilizing talent and co-investments to create companies and investment funds. The growth of this group of companies led him in 2022 to consolidate all his impact investments into a holding company, which we call Zubi Group.
In the summer of 2023, after co-founding Matteco from Zubi Labs, he decided to take a more active role in the project by assuming the role of CEO.
As of today, the Zubi group is made up of more than 250 professionals working for a better world.
At Matteco, there are 45 of us. Will you join our adventure?
If none of our open vacancies fit you, but you have always wanted to work in an organization with a positive impact where, additionally, we genuinely care about people, this is your place. You will be able to dedicate your talent and energy to creating innovative construction solutions that help us on the urgent path to sustainability, and we will ensure that you have everything important to achieve it 🚀
