Build Europe's Next Workspace Brand | Commercial Managing Co-Founder (Equity)
Valencia, Spain | International | Full-time | Equity Opportunity
It's an opportunity to build one.
At YOUNG Workspaces, we believe the future of work is about more than desks and offices. It's about creating communities where entrepreneurs, startups, scale-ups and ambitious professionals connect, collaborate and grow.
We're now entering our next stage of expansion.
That's why we're looking for an exceptional Commercial Managing Co-Founder to help build one of Europe's most ambitious workspace companies.
Not someone who wants to manage an existing business.
Someone who wants to build the next one.

Who We're Looking For
You don't necessarily have the perfect CV.
But you do have the right mindset.
You're entrepreneurial.
Commercial by nature.
You enjoy making deals.
You create opportunities where others see obstacles.
You take ownership.
You move fast.
You're comfortable with uncertainty because you've learned that's where growth happens.
Ideally you have experience in one or more of the following:
Coworking
Hospitality
Commercial Real Estate
Flexible Offices
Business Development
Scale-ups
Franchise Development
Commercial Leadership
You speak fluent English.
Spanish is a strong advantage.
Dutch is appreciated, but certainly not required.
Why This Opportunity Is Different
Most companies are looking for an employee.
We're looking for a builder.
Someone who wants to help shape strategy.
Someone who wants genuine influence.
Someone who wants to create long-term value.
For the right candidate, there is a clear intention and opportunity to participate in the company through equity. Because we believe founders should build together.
What You'll Get
A genuine Co-Founder opportunity.
Direct collaboration with the founders of YOUNG.
Significant entrepreneurial freedom.
A fast-growing international platform.
Competitive compensation.
Performance-based equity participation.
The opportunity to build a European brand from the ground up.
International travel as part of our expansion strategy.
A role where your impact will be visible from day one.
Valencia Based. Europe Focused.
Your home base will be Valencia, Spain.
But your playground is much bigger.
As we continue expanding, you'll regularly travel across Europe to explore acquisitions, open new locations, build partnerships and accelerate growth.
This is an international role with an entrepreneurial mindset.
Our Recruitment Process
We believe exceptional people are about far more than what's written on a CV.
That's why we take a different approach.
Step 1: Apply online with your CV.
Step 2: Record a short 2–3 minute introduction video, so we can get to know the person behind your résumé.
Step 3: If there's a potential match, we'll invite you to complete a DISC personality assessment.
Step 4: Meet our recruitment team for your first interview.
Step 5: Meet the founders of YOUNG Workspaces to explore our ambitions, your vision and whether we're the right long-term fit for each other.
Throughout the process, we'll keep you informed every step of the way.
Our goal isn't simply to fill a position.
Our goal is to find the person who will help build the future of YOUNG Workspaces.
