Venture Operator – International Expansion

We offer

• No bullshit work environment
• Launch one country after the next — with a playbook you write yourself
• Personal impact from day one
• Career option to move with the venture into its own company
• Awesome colleagues
• True home office

What you'll do

• Take a live venture into a new market end to end — legal entity, content, partners, first order
• Coordinate the legal and tax setup: entity, VAT, local consumer law, data protection
• Build the translation and native-QA workflow that keeps quality up without adding headcount
• Onboard local service and logistics partners — and hold them to what they committed to
• Turn every launch into a checklist that makes the next market faster and cheaper
• Onboard the venture's fulfillment and service partner locally — together with their country teams
• Check the local logistics setup and adapt the operating concept where the country doesn't fit the template

Your toolkit

• Operational market entry — you've set a country up, not just analysed one
• Legal and tax coordination with external counsel, without becoming a lawyer
• Localisation — translation workflows, native QA, local pricing and competitor feeds
• Partner management — service networks, logistics, local agencies
• Native-level fluency in Italian, French, Spanish or English — plus fluent English
• Contract management — you know what was signed, what renews, and what nobody owns yet

Expansion philosophy

• Every market must add revenue faster than it adds headcount
• Go-live readiness is a gate, not a parallel workstream
• The second country is the exam for the first country's playbook
• Partners commit when you commit — say it clearly or don't say it
• Local means local: native quality or nothing
• Every country breaks one assumption from the template — find out which one before go-live

Requirements

• You've launched or run a market for a commerce or service business
• You work in checklists and hand them over so someone else can run them
• You negotiate with partners on equal footing, without a corporate name behind you
• You're fine with ambiguity, but you close things
• Fluent communication in English
