Country Manager - Netherlands

Our Mission

Money sitting idle is money lost. We're fixing that.

Founded in 2023 by Antoine and Paul-Adrien, Spiko gives businesses, non-profits, financial advisers, and fintechs access to institutional-grade cash management, via app or API. We are building the full infrastructure: issuing, operating, and distributing the products ourselves.

Two years after launch, we serve thousands of organizations across Europe and process hundreds of millions of euros in flows every month. Netherlands is one of our priority markets for the next phase of growth.

Our ambition: become the world's leading treasury management infrastructure in a market worth trillions.

We are backed by Index Ventures, the CEO of Revolut, the founder of Kyriba, and the CTO of Wise.

Spiko runs on excellence, transparency, and straight talk.

The role: Country Manager - Netherlands

As Country Manager - Netherlands, you will be the face of Spiko in the Dutch market. Your mission is to make Spiko impossible to ignore in the Netherlands: build our public presence, own the local ecosystem, and turn visibility into a growth engine that fuels the sales team on the ground.

This is not a pure sales role. You will work hand in hand with our Dutch Account Executives and their Team Leader in a two-way relationship:

you feed them qualified leads generated through your partnerships and local visibility

you can call on their support to make major events a success

Your own focus, one level up, is on representation, partnerships, and market development. You report directly to the General Manager France, Benelux, and Southern Europe.

Key Responsibilities

Public representation: Be Spiko's voice in the Netherlands across media, conferences, and industry events. Build the brand's local credibility and reputation.

Events strategy: Identify the events worth attending, show up, and turn presence into pipeline. For major events, rally the sales team and make them a success together.

Lead generation for the team: Convert your partnerships and local presence into a steady flow of qualified leads for the IDutch Account Executives. Collaborate with marketing on mapping the appropriate channels to sponsor for market growth.

Partnerships: Build and nurture a network of local partners: chartered accountants, part-time CFOs, VCs, and other prescribers who can channel treasury opportunities to Spiko.

Local visibility: Make Spiko more visible in the Netherlands every single day, through consistent presence, content, and relationship-building.

Ecosystem intelligence: Map the Dutch market, understand its specificities, and feed insights back to the GTM and product teams.

Reporting & Insights: Track leads generated, events attended, and partnership pipeline value. Report regularly to the GM France, Benelux, and Southern Europe.

Requirements

Experience: 8+ years in BD, partnerships, or a market-facing role, in exceptional professional environments (typically tier 1 startups). Prior experience launching or scaling a company's presence in the Netherlands is a strong plus.

Network: you already have a foothold in the Dutch startup, fintech, or finance ecosystem: founders, VCs, CFOs, or chartered accountants.

Presence: you are comfortable on stage, in front of media, and in a room full of prospects. You represent a brand naturally.

Mindset: extremely ambitious, eager to open and own a market from the front.

Autonomy: capable of building a local presence from scratch and setting your own agenda.

Resilience: We recruit people who get things done, rather than people who make excuses.

Excellent communication: native speaker in the Netherlands, fluent in English.

Traveling: across the Netherlands for events and at least 4 times per year to Paris
