You will work closely with Partners and founders, taking ownership of new business opportunities from an early stage:

shaping the initial thesis, assessing the market opportunity, building the business case, defining the go-to-market strategy and helping turn an idea into a scalable company.

We are looking for someone who is comfortable moving between

strategy and execution

— able to challenge a business model or discuss a financial plan, but equally motivated to get close to the market, customers and founders and make things happen.

What you'll do Own and develop new venture opportunities , from initial market thesis through validation and launch. Assess new markets, business models and emerging trends, translating insights into actionable business opportunities. Build and challenge

business cases, financial models, unit economics and growth scenarios . Design and develop

go-to-market strategies , including positioning, pricing, distribution, partnerships and market-entry approaches. Work closely with founders and management teams on strategic priorities, growth opportunities and key business decisions. Monitor business performance and identify the key

KPIs and value drivers

behind each venture. Prepare and present strategic recommendations and investment materials to

Partners, founders and other senior stakeholders . Support fundraising, investment processes and other relevant corporate transactions when required. Build relationships across the

Spanish startup and venture capital ecosystem , identifying opportunities, talent, partners and relevant market insights. Act as a senior sparring partner while remaining sufficiently hands-on to move projects forward autonomously.

What we're looking for Around





6–8 years of relevant professional experience , with the maturity and judgement to operate confidently with founders, Partners and senior stakeholders. Strong track record within the

startup/scale-up ecosystem, Venture Capital, venture building, strategy or other highly entrepreneurial environments . Particularly relevant experience could come from roles such as

Strategy & Operations, Business Development, Partnerships, Expansion, Go-to-Market, New Ventures, Chief of Staff or General Management . Demonstrated experience

building, launching or scaling businesses, products, markets or strategic partnerships . Strong strategic and analytical capabilities combined with

solid financial acumen . Ability to independently structure ambiguous problems and turn early-stage ideas into clear hypotheses, business cases and execution plans. Strong understanding of

go-to-market and business-building dynamics . A relevant

network and strong knowledge of the Spanish startup and VC ecosystem . Entrepreneurial mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, fast-moving environments and switching between high-level thinking and hands-on execution. Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the confidence to interact at

founder and Board level . Fluent Spanish and English are mandatory. Based in Barcelona or willing to relocate.

The kind of profile we have in mind You may currently be working in a

high-growth startup or scale-up , helping launch new markets, build partnerships or define growth strategy. You may come from a

VC or venture-building environment , but have always been particularly close to portfolio companies and the operational side of building businesses. Or you may have developed a strong strategic and financial foundation earlier in your career and subsequently moved closer to

entrepreneurship and company building . xghoner

What matters most is the combination: Strategic thinking + financial sophistication + operating experience + entrepreneurial mindset.

You should enjoy both

thinking about what should be built and getting involved in actually building it.
