Key Responsibilities

  • •Own the end-to-end operational and regulatory launch plan for France: sequencing workstreams, tracking milestones, surfacing risks before they become delays

Key Requirements

  • •5+ years of experience in market expansion, operations, or consulting at a high-growth tech company, ideally in fintech, payments, or telecom (or another regulated vertical where you had to earn the right to operate)
  • •A track record of launching something from zero: you’ve owned a market, country, or product launch end-to-end and had a real outcome to defend
  • •Structured and relentless as a project driver: you hold multiple parallel workstreams (regulatory, technical, commercial, people) without losing the thread, and surface blockers before they become delays
  • •Analytically sharp and decisive: you make sound calls with incomplete information, document your reasoning, and adjust fast when you're wrong
  • •Direct experience operating across multiple countries or jurisdictions is required; candidates without genuine international operational experience will struggle in this role
