Launch UnFoldMart in France, and build it your way

France is our next big market, and we're starting it the right way: with one strong leader who owns it from day one. There's no legacy to manage and no playbook to inherit. There's a market to open, a team to build and an international studio ready to deliver.

As Country Manager, you'll launch and lead UnFoldMart France: the first clients, the first hires, the positioning and the growth plan.

What you will own

• The launch. Market entry plan, target industries and positioning against French agencies
• Revenue. First clients in the first quarter, then a growing book across branding, packaging, web, performance marketing and SEO, AEO and GEO
• The team. Lead the GTM Lead France, then hire account managers and specialists
• Your network. Open doors with marketing directors, founders and brand leaders across France
• The brand. Represent UnFoldMart at French events, associations and in the press
• Operations. Pricing, contracts, forecasting and delivery quality for French clients

Your first 90 days

• Days 1 to 30: Build the France entry plan and the first list of 100 target accounts
• Days 31 to 60: Agree the target list with the GTM Lead France and book the first pitches from your network
• Days 61 to 90: First French client signed and a 12-month plan agreed with the Director

You will thrive here if you

• Have 8+ years in agencies, consultancies or B2B services in France, including leading a team or a P&L
• Have opened a new market, office or business line before
• Have a real network among French marketing and brand decision-makers
• Speak French at C2 level and work fluently in English with an international team
• Are energized by starting from zero

Bonus points: luxury, beauty, FMCG, D2C or tech clients, experience with offshore delivery teams.
