On behalf of an international private equity investor, we are looking for a hands-on Operating Partner to take full operational ownership of an established distribution business in Spain. For the right person, this can be structured as a sole CEO mandate.

The business
A profitable, cash-generative B2B distributor of construction-related technical products. Revenue in the higher double-digit millions, around 150+ employees, and a nationwide network of branches across Spain. Following a carve-out, the company operates independently and already has largely stand-alone functions in place.

This is a business with a solid foundation and clear headroom, not a fire-fight, but a genuine value-creation play where an experienced operator can leave a real fingerprint.





Why this role
- Full P&L; ownership and a direct line to the shareholder, decisions get made, not committee'd to death.
- A healthy, cash-generative base to build on, with tangible levers already identified.
- The autonomy of a standalone platform, backed by an investor focused on operational value creation.
- The opportunity to shape the leadership team and the transformation roadmap from day one.

The mandate
- Lead the value-creation agenda operationally, on the ground in Spain
- Own liquidity and cash transparency
- Build clear KPI and reporting structures
- Optimise the branch network, cost base and product range / SKUs, and assess selective new openings
- Improve procurement, gross and commercial margins
- Drive sustainable EBITDA and margin improvement, and working capital discipline
- Further develop stand-alone structures post carve-out
- Partner closely with the shareholder
