- Coordinate cross-functionally to make Joko Spain-ready: Partner with Product, Engineering, Data, Ops, Care, Finance, Legal, and People to ensure the product, processes, and tooling work smoothly for Spain from day one.
- Drive local traction across B2B and B2C: Secure the right local partners and ecosystem presence to make Joko valuable from day one, while also shaping the go-to-market approach in Spain. Define the local positioning and messaging, and work with Growth, Brand, and Campaigns to build a user acquisition plan that resonates with Spanish users and compounds over time.
- Own performance, insights, and course-correction: Track Spain performance closely, surface actionable insights, and adapt the plan fast based on what the data and the market tell us.
