Job Requirements

- Clear thinking. You break unfamiliar problems into clear questions, challenge assumptions and use evidence to reach a sound decision. You recognise which details matter and turn your reasoning into a practical course of action.
- Drive and ownership. You set yourself demanding goals, take initiative and follow through when the work becomes difficult. You take responsibility for the result and find ways to keep moving.
- Curiosity and learning.



You get up to speed quickly in unfamiliar areas and actively experiment with AI and new tools. You use feedback and evidence to improve how you work.
- Teamwork. You help colleagues succeed, challenge ideas constructively and welcome the same in return. You are reliable about commitments and open about problems.
- Relevant experience. You bring around 1-2 years in strategy consulting, ideally at McKinsey, BCG or Bain, or in a startup or scale-up. Experience in both environments, including through internships, is a plus.
- Clear communication. You communicate fluently in English and explain complex ideas clearly to colleagues and partners.

Job Responsibilities

You'll own commercial initiatives from the first idea through to delivery, with scope shaped by business priorities and your strengths.

- Drive commercial transformation. Work alongside the commercial transformation lead and local management across three focus areas: strategy (including product), monetization and go-to-market. Own initiatives that grow the business and improve how its commercial functions operate.
- Find the next growth opportunities. Build a clear understanding of the business through commercial data, customer research and market insight,



then identify and prioritize the opportunities with the greatest potential.
- Develop the approach. Turn insights into a proposition and practical plan—from an innovative business model to a new go-to-market approach. Define the customer value, commercial goals and resources needed to deliver it.
- Test the opportunity. Design and run experiments with product, marketing and data teams to test demand, compare approaches and decide what to pursue.
- Lead delivery. Bring initiatives to market, coordinate teams and partners, and take responsibility for launch, adoption and results. Use performance data to keep improving after launch.
- Reinvent commercial work with AI. Experiment with AI in areas such as customer acquisition, sales and pricing, then turn useful applications into tools and workflows teams use every day.
- Scale what works. Turn successful initiatives into reusable tools, playbooks and shared capabilities, and help other marketplace teams put them into practice.

Job Benefits

- Compensation. A highly competitive all-in salary package, with no performance-based bonuses.
- Location. We work in person at our Barcelona office, with occasional travel to our marketplaces depending on your role and scope.
- Development. A personal development budget and hands-on experience across different marketplaces and areas of the business.
- Environment. An international team with high standards, substantial autonomy and real responsibility for what we deliver.
