Velites is a team of engineers, athletes, and designers obsessed with one thing: helping athletes unlock their full potential. We design premium equipment for functional fitness, created through real collaboration with the people who train, compete, and coach others every day. We believe growth happens through strong partnerships. Gyms, stores, and training boxes are at the center of our ecosystem, and we work closely with them to make sure athletes have access to the best tools to perform. Velites is growing rapidly across Europe. To keep that momentum, we are looking for people who live fitness, not just work in it. Italy stands out as a strategic market for us. Its deep fitness culture, professionalism, and community-driven mindset fit perfectly with the way we build our brand. We are looking for someone who goes beyond speaking Italian fluently. Someone who understands functional fitness from the inside, earns trust on the gym floor, and wants to create real impact in the daily lives of Italian athletes by expanding Velites’ presence across the country. This position is initially offered to cover a maternity leave for a one-year period, with the possibility of continuing with the company afterward, subject to performance and business needs. Partner Network Sales Manager Italy What you will be responsible for: You will build, manage, and scale the Velites partner network in Italy. This includes identifying the right gyms, stores, and partners, turning relationships into long-term collaborations, and positioning Velites as a trusted brand in the market.

Track performance, analyze results, and continuously improve the effectiveness of partnerships. What Defines you: You naturally live the values of Velites: innovation, closeness to gym owners, a service mindset, and uncompromising quality. You are comfortable taking ownership and making decisions. You enjoy being in direct contact with gym owners, CrossFit and Hyrox athletes and partners, not stuck behind a screen. Skills and experience we value: More than 3 years of experience in a commercial or sales role, ideally in fitness, sports, or D2C brands. Strong experience managing partner or client relationships. Comfortable working with CRM tools. Solid knowledge of Excel and PowerPoint or equivalent tools for analysis, reporting, and presentations. Soft skills that matter here: You put partners and athletes first and anticipate their needs. You communicate clearly, directly, and persuasively. You face problems head-on and find practical, creative solutions. What we offer: Base salary between 30k and 40k gross per year, depending on experience. Performance-based bonuses activated after a 6-month probation period. Real growth opportunities: if you show leadership, you will have the chance to build and lead commercial teams in Italy or other international markets. Location: Zizur Mayor, Navarra, with frequent travel to Italy. Languages: Native Italian required. English level C1 or higher, spoken and written. Driving license: Category B required.
