Based on your own analyses and the qualitative insights you collect on the ground, you will have to engineer the commercial strategy (eg. pricing, incentives) and strategic initiatives that will drive our business even faster in the short to mid-term. With a growth mindset, your role will be to identify and unlock the value pools within Swan’s existing business.</li> <li> <strong>Account Management</strong>: You’ll be in charge of managing and developing our portfolio of Swan’s customers in Spain (NB: we call them ‘partners’ at Swan).

Lastly, we’re looking for a team player who will partner with our Marketing, Product and Compliance teams (among others) to lead growth initiatives with support and alignment from the entire company.</p><p>This is a key role for us as you will be a direct contributor to our commercial success.
