Country Director – Poland
Build and scale a national operation
We are appointing a Country Director to lead the launch, establishment, and growth of a multi‑unit consumer business in Poland.
This role is designed for a builder‑type leader — someone who thrives on creating structure where none exists yet, takes full accountability for results, and is comfortable making country‑level decisions with real impact. You will have ownership of strategy execution, operations, people, and financial performance, while working closely with an international HQ.
Your mission
- Lead the market entry and scaling of the business in Poland
- Take full P&L responsibility, ensuring profitable and controlled growth
- Build, lead, and develop a strong local leadership team
- Design and implement a local operating model, adapted to Polish market realities
- Oversee multi‑site operations, quality, standards, and customer experience
- Drive network expansion: new openings, locations, and partnerships
- Act as the senior local representative towards HQ, partners, and authorities
What you bring
- 8–15 years’ experience in hospitality, retail, QSR, fast‑casual, FMCG, or similar environments
- Proven background in scaling or launching operations, ideally in Poland or CEE
- Strong commercial and P&L mindset, not just operational excellence
- Experience building leadership teams, not only managing day‑to‑day execution
- Confidence operating in ambiguous, fast‑growth environments
- High autonomy, decisiveness, and an ownership mentality
Why this opportunity
- Genuine country ownership with visible influence on strategy and results
- Autonomy combined with access to international know‑how and support
- Opportunity to shape a national organisation from the ground up
- Clear long‑term growth path into regional or broader executive roles
If you are energized by responsibility, growth, and building something lasting in the Polish market, this role offers both challenge and impact.
