Spain is one of our most important markets, and we're ready to reignite it.
We're looking for a Country Marketing Manager based in Madrid to act as the strategic and commercial engine of our Spanish operations. This is a hands-on role for someone who understands cities, culture, and how to turn ideas into footfall.

Design and execute a 360o local marketing strategy with a strong focus on maximizing the potential of the Madrid flagship.
Analyze performance across campaigns and activations (CAC, footfall, partnership leads, revenue impact).

Build Partnerships & Commercial Opportunities
Proactively identify, pitch, and close partnerships with brands, agencies, and corporates in Madrid.

Barcelona Oversight & Country Alignment
Provide strategic marketing guidance for the Barcelona venue.
