This is a general-management seat: you’ll answer for how one market performs, from its numbers to the people who run it on the ground.
The business trades in several countries, and each market has one person who owns its results. You’ll be that person for one of them, with the specialist teams behind you.
What you’ll do
Own one market’s revenue, costs and margin, working hand in hand with the heads of the specialist teams that support it
Work out why sales are off track and put the fix in place
Coach the people who run the market day to day and help them grow
Travel to the market regularly, get to know the team and customers first hand, and hold people to a high standard across cultures
Pick up whatever else the business needs, from marketing and customer service to hiring and team culture
What you’ll need
A bachelor’s degree
Something you started yourself and carried through, whether a venture, a community initiative or a piece of work you drove, with an impact on other people you can point to
Sharp commercial judgement, comfort with problems nobody has solved yet, and a habit of taking ownership
The ability to lead and connect with people from very different backgrounds
Willingness to travel often
Nice to have
Time spent in a fast-growing business
What’s on offer
Real ownership of a market’s results, and the leadership responsibility that comes with it
A career path built around general-management and commercial skills
Regular travel and broad exposure across commercial, operational and people work
