The Role
Source certified pre-owned e-bikes from professional partners across Spain. Prospect and onboard bike shops, retailers, rental companies, and leasing firms; negotiate bulk purchasing deals; build long-term partner relationships; and support services such as pickup, maintenance, and B2B sales. The role requires extensive regional travel, data-driven territory planning, native Spanish, professional English, and strong B2B sales or business development experience.
Summary Generated by Built In
Upway is the leading platform for certified refurbished e-bikes, operating across Europe and the US. We buy, refurbish, and resell e-bikes with a rigorous technical process, making sustainable mobility more accessible while delivering a seamless, reliable customer experience.
We are looking for a B2B Sourcing Manager to join the B2B team and scale the B2B sourcing arm of our operations. Your mission is central to Upway’s growth: securing high-quality second-hand e-bikes from professional partners so we can continuously expand and renew the offering available on our platform.
You will work closely with a wide range of B2B partners — manufacturers, retailers, reconditioners, rental and leasing companies — and will ultimately be responsible for buying the best ebikes at the best price.
Your Missions
- Hunt, Close and Onboard New Retail Partners: Identify, prospect and onboard independent bike shops and regional chains in your territory. Your goal is to turn cold prospects into active partners who use Upway’s trade-in tool daily.
- Unlock "Fleet" Opportunities: Map out the B2B, Rental and Leasing ecosystem. Negotiate the best ad-hoc bulk B2B deals to secure high-quality stock for our UpCenter.
- Build Long-Term Trust: The bike industry is built on relationships. You will need to be an available and reliable stakeholder, and just as comfortable talking technical specs with a mechanic as you are negotiating contracts with a business owner.
- Deploy Additional Services: Leverage your network of existing trusted partners to support the deployment of new services as we turn the trade-in platform into a fully-fledged B2B ecosystem (including pickup, dropoff, maintenance, B2B sales…)
Skills, Knowledge and Expertise
- Experience: 3+ years in B2B Sales / Business Development. Experience in the cycling industry is a plus, but we value "Sales DNA" (FMCG, SaaS, Field Sales) above all else.
- Hunter Mindset: You are not afraid to push open doors. You enjoy the thrill of closing a new deal and don't take "no" for an answer easily.
- Road Warrior: You are energized by being in the field. You are willing to travel 60-80% of the time within your region. Preferred locations are Barcelona and Madrid for easier travel.
- Analytical Hustle: You use data to prioritize your targets and optimize your routes.
- Languages: Native level in Spanish and professional proficiency in English (for internal reporting).
- A genuine passion for life on two wheels: Our partners are true enthusiasts, and so are we. Your authentic excitement for bikes will be the key to unlocking conversations, building trust, and establishing yourself as a relevant peer in the industry.
Why Join Upway?
- Impact: You are directly contributing to the decarbonization of mobility by giving thousands of e-bikes a second life.
- Ownership: You are the marketing voice for our core markets. Your decisions will have a visible, immediate impact on the business.
- Growth: Join a Series C scale-up backed by top-tier investors (Sequoia, Exor) during our hyper-growth phase in Europe.
