Total bilingualism in English and Spanish is essential for this role, whilst Catalan is a plus. French and Arabic are advantageous. A relevant university degree and previous experience supporting a business owner will also be viewed favorably.

Given that the entrepreneur is fairly self sufficient, the ideal candidate will bring energy, honesty and a strong sense of ownership to the role. They should have the ability to introduce structure while adapting to a highly fluid and entrepreneurial working style. They will be confident, opinionated when needed and able to add value beyond pure execution.
