About the company & team

Startup offering a financing platform, recognized for its focus on innovation and operational excellence.

Who are we looking for (M/F/D)?

We are looking for a professional who has built a commercial function from scratch, not just managed an existing one. Someone who combines strategic vision with flawless execution and a strong action-oriented approach, always relying on data to make decisions.

Previous experience in a startup or scale-up ecosystem, with knowledge of its dynamics, execution speed, network, and culture.

Essential requirements:

  • Builder mindset: experience structuring or creating a commercial function in the early stages of a startup or scale-up, defining processes and preparing it to scale.
  • Player-coach profile: the ability to design the strategy and, at the same time, get involved in day-to-day execution. In a company of this size, leading also means doing.
  • Consultative B2B sales: experience managing sales cycles with senior stakeholders (CEOs, CFOs, and other executives), where trust and judgment matter more than volume.
  • Knowledge of the financial sector: experience in fintech or the financial sector in general, with the ability to understand financial products and build credibility with a CFO from day one.
  • Data-driven and analytical mindset: managing through forecasts, pipeline, and conversion metrics, rather than making decisions based on intuition.
  • Affinity for technology: regular use of technology and AI to scale commercial teams, while also promoting its adoption within the team.
  • Languages: native or fluent Spanish (essential, as Spain is currently our main market) and a high level of English, needed for future international expansion.
