Vilgain is scaling beyond borders. We’re looking for a hands‑on Expansion Manager to lead our international growth — starting with the U.S. and expanding into other markets. You’ll steer the full expansion strategy, ensure compliance across borders, and lead a focused team managing our marketplace operations.
This role is about building our market presence. You’ll work at the intersection of strategy, operations, and leadership to make sure our global growth runs smooth and fast.
You will lead a cross‑functional team of six, including three marketplace specialists focused on Amazon (DE, UK) and Allegro, with dedicated PPC support. The team also includes business development and operational support roles covering new market entry, event coordination or customs consulting.
➡️ In This Role, You Will:
Lead the execution of our expansion strategy in the U.S. and other international markets
Manage and develop a 6‑person team responsible for marketplace growth
Monitor and implement country‑specific legal and compliance requirements
Set up and optimize customs and import processes
Explore and drive new growth channels — from local marketplaces to B2B partnerships
Lay the foundation for local entities: tax setup, employment, operations
➡️ What Makes You a Great Fit:
Proven experience in international expansion or operations
Strong knowledge of online marketplaces and cross‑border logistics
Being a confident team leader with experience managing small teams
Knowledge of tax, legal, and compliance frameworks across regions
Fluency in English; other languages are a plus
➡️ What You Can Expect from Us
An informal and fast‑paced environment where you can implement your ideas immediately.
Work that will never bore you – our year‑over‑year growth of 100% is proof of that.
5 weeks of vacation, flexible working hours, and the option to work remotely so you can balance your job with whatever else you love doing.
If you prefer the office, we’d love to see you in our modern spaces in Brno (Smetanova) or in Prague (Karlín) at the Vilgain Health Store. Our kitchens are stocked with our amazing products for you to test.
Monthly credits for shopping on our e‑shop and stores.
Team‑building events, breakfasts, and workouts together.
