⚓ About Click&Boat

Click&Boat is Europe's leading boat rental marketplace, connecting millions of users with boat owners across 600+ destinations worldwide. With over €170M in annual GMV and a community of 2.4M+ registered users, we're transforming the way people experience the sea. Headquartered in Paris with a growing team in Barcelona, we combine the agility of a startup (~150 people) with the ambition of a category leader.

We believe in building a company where autonomy, speed, and impact define everyday work, and we're looking for people who share that mindset.

To support this ambition, we're hiring a VP Sales to lead our human-led Sales strategy and join our growing team in Barcelona.

🚤 The role

We're looking for a VP Sales to join our crew in Barcelona and own the strategy for our human-led Sales: the part of our business where a Sales rep steps in between a tenant and an owner to close the deal.

This is an inbound, transactional, high-volume business (40k leads per year), international and B2C, with an average basket of €7K.

Reporting directly to the COO, you'll lead a team of 4 Sales Managers handling around 15 Sales Executives and 25 seasonal employees, with full ownership of your team's recruitment and the whole Sales cycle.

Today, the Sales team drives 20% of the company's revenue, as 80% is product-led.

Your mission is clear: deliver the yearly expected revenue base while :

  • Challenging the Sales approach we've had for the past 10 years
  • Managing potential geographical and segment expansion
  • Assessing where AI could be wisely introduced in our Sales cycle.

You'll shape the strategy, own the execution, and measure the impact.

🛟 What floats your boat

You will be responsible for the following:

  • Defining and executing the human-led Sales strategy, from first contact to closing, to reach your revenue objective. Lead generation stays out of your scope.
  • Leading, mentoring, and growing a team of 4 Sales Managers, setting clear objectives aligned with company goals and building a culture of accountability, constant feedback, and raising the bar.
  • Ensuring the quality and delivery of recruitment by collaborating with the Talent Acquisition team.
  • Managing the Sales side of potential business expansion into new geographies like the U.S. or segments like luxury yachting.
  • Introducing AI into the dealflow when relevant.
  • Managing your P&L according to budget.

🧭 What you bring aboard

  • 8+ years of experience in Sales, ideally in a B2C, e-commerce, or consumer tech environment.
  • 5+ years of experience managing a team and driving performance through coaching, prioritisation, and clear goal-setting.
  • A first experience of managing managers.
  • A doer and problem-solver with a massive bias for action, comfortable rolling up your sleeves and balancing the long-term view with short-term workarounds.
  • Data-obsessed and analytically rigorous: comfortable building and reading dashboards (Tableau or equivalent) to report on your line of business with accuracy.
  • Excellent stakeholder management skills, able to collaborate effectively with Tech, Marketing, and Business teams while minimising dependencies.
  • Full proficiency in English is required.

🌊 Bonus points (great to have, never a dealbreaker)

  • Spanish or French.
  • Seasonal experience with scale-up/scale-down.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
