ppStark builds the world’s most powerful electric motorcycles. From the VARG MX to the road‑legal VARG EX SM, our bikes have won world championships and are engineered to outperform any combustion engine. We’re based in Sant Boi, Barcelona and are growing fast (77% year‑on‑year), building a team that will take us even further. /ph3About Stark /h3pStark will become the global market leader in premium motorcycles. Building premium motorcycles requires innovation and we need your help to make us succeed. Our mission is to lead the way towards a sustainable motorcycle industry, by reducing plastic and CO2 pollution. This will be achieved by building sustainable products that are superior to traditional technology in terms of Performance, Emotion and Design. /ph3The Role /h3pMarket Management Specialist role: Stark sells motorcycles globally from a single operational hub in Barcelona. The market portfolio is growing, and the way we run it is built around a centralised, lean, HQ‑first model: local presence is sales‑oriented, all operational execution lives in one place. As the portfolio grows, we are building a coordination layer to make the model scale at pace, across very different time zones, regulatory environments, and market structures. The Market Management Specialist is responsible for a portfolio of Stark markets and ensures that every function at HQ is delivering correctly for each one. You do not run Finance, Legal, IT, Operations, Logistics, or Service Support directly. The functions own that work. Your job is to keep visibility over how each market is performing, flag issues early, drive corrective action when something breaks, and make sure no market falls between the cracks of HQ teams. (Think of it as the centralised counterpart to what a country manager would do, but for several markets at once and from Barcelona.) The role reports to the Head of Global Market Management, sits inside Business Excellence at HQ in Barcelona, and is a build role: the trackers, KPIs, and review cadences for the portfolio do not exist yet. You will help create them and make them stick. /ph3What You’ll Do /h3ulliOversee a portfolio of Stark markets and ensure that all HQ functions are delivering correctly for each one. /liliMonitor entity health per market: invoice processing, tax filings, compliance obligations, vendor SLAs, registration renewals. /liliTrack external service providers where used and flag SLA breaches early. /liliMaintain a per‑entity tracker that captures status, open items, risks, and next required actions. /liliCoordinate with in‑market sales resources, where they exist, on operational needs that go beyond pure sales. /liliMaintain working relationships with HQ counterparts across Finance, Legal, IT, Operations, Logistics, Service Support, and Sales. /liliIdentify when tasks are falling between functions and drive corrective action with the right owner. /liliServe as the single point of contact at HQ for market‑specific operational issues in the assigned portfolio. /liliEscalate systemic issues that affect multiple markets to the Head of Global Market Management. /liliPlug into market entry projects led by the GTM Manager and accept formal handover of newly activated entities. /liliOnboard new entities into the operational management framework from day one, applying lessons from the existing portfolio. /liliCoordinate local implementation of cross‑functional changes (e.g., payment flows, ERP, regulatory reporting) across the assigned markets and track adoption post‑rollout. /liliProvide data inputs for the regular market health review across the assigned portfolio. /li /ulh3What You Will Bring To Stark /h3ulliDetail‑oriented and proactive: you catch issues before they escape. /liliComfortable managing several markets in parallel, sometimes across very different time zones, without anything falling through the cracks. /liliCross‑functional coordination instinct: you can engage with Finance, Legal, IT, Operations, Logistics, Service Support, and Sales in their own language. /liliComfortable building processes and trackers from scratch where they do not exist. /liliFluent English. Additional languages a plus. /li /ulh3EXPERIENCE /h3ulli4 to 7 years of experience in business operations, market operations, business administration, country management, or international project coordination in a scaling company. /liliMulti‑entity exposure in an international business. /liliWorking knowledge of multi‑jurisdiction entity administration, VAT and compliance frameworks, or strong willingness to learn the regulatory landscape quickly. /li /ulh3NICE TO HAVE /h3ulliAdditional languages (Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Finnish). /liliDirect exposure to LATAM, North American, European, or Oceania markets. /liliPrior exposure to centralised or shared‑service operating models. /liliExperience with cross‑functional process change rollouts (ERP, payment flow, regulatory reporting). /liliExperience with intercompany flow management or transfer pricing operationalisation. /liliFamiliarity with managing external service provider relationships. /li /ulh3Why work with us? /h3ulliThe chance to work on a product people are genuinely passionate about. /liliA fast‑growing company with real momentum. /liliA creative, international team based in Barcelona. /liliCompetitive salary and benefits package. /liliDirect access to riders, race teams, and the product — this is not a remote‑from‑the‑product role. /liliSubsidised lunch in our in‑house restaurant. /liliFree access to our in‑house gym (including weekends). /lili30 days of paid vacation. /li /ulh3Accessibility and Inclusion /h3pWe don’t just accept difference — we celebrate it, we support it, and we thrive on it for the benefit of our employees, our products, and our community. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, race, religion, age, neurodiversity, or disability, feels a true sense of belonging. If you require any reasonable adjustments during the application or interview process (such as assistive technology, extra time, or a specific format), please let us know at . We encourage applications from underrepresented groups and are excited to see how your unique perspective can help us grow. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
