EGYM is a global fitness technology leader seeking a Financial Services Manager to build and scale its leasing and financing business across the UK, France, and Spain. This is a hands-on builder role combining strategic ownership with commercial execution. You will own the end-to-end leasing and financing business across three markets, from strategy and deal structuring through contract closing and portfolio monitoring. You'll lead and develop the international Financial Services team, setting priorities and stepping in hands-on where needed. A core responsibility is embedding financing into the sales process—working shoulder-to-shoulder with local sales teams and Country Heads to shift the conversation from one-off purchases to monthly-rate financing, measurably increasing deal conversion. You'll maintain an active market presence, visiting each key market at least quarterly plus on-demand for key deals and events. You'll proactively reach out to sales teams, customers, and partners on the ground rather than waiting to be called. You'll nurture and deepen relationships with international leasing banks and financial partners, negotiating framework terms that enable growth. You'll also design the workflows and structures that allow the business to scale internationally while keeping data clean, current, and reliable. In your first six months, you'll take full ownership of your markets and team, complete in-market visits to build trusted relationships with local sales managers and Country Heads, develop and roll out a compelling monthly-rate financing pitch with Sales, deepen banking and leasing partnerships, and take control of the international portfolio with clean, monitored, and reported contracts and pipeline. The role offers a modern, international company culture with 30 days vacation, flexible working hours, hybrid setup (up to 3 home office days per week), free EGYM Wellpass access, €60/month flex budget, bike leasing, subsidised pension, and employee benefits. EGYM has flat hierarchies, fast decision-making, and regular team events. REQUIREMENTS: - Several years of experience in vendor finance, leasing, or asset finance with understanding of how sales-financing drives commercial growth - Proven leadership experience managing a team (small unit or growing function) with motivation to build and develop people - Hands-on commercial, sales, or business development background with ability to build pipelines, handle objections, and close deals - Comfort across international markets with ability to adapt to different cultures and work styles; network in UK asset/vendor finance market is a strong plus - Fluent, professional English required; French and/or Spanish are strong pluses - Willingness to travel to markets at least once per quarter - Clear communication and credibility when pitching to stakeholders at all levels
