About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You love inspiring people, spotting new opportunities and turning ideas into real revenue? Then this could be the perfect role for you.
As Retail Expansion Manager you bring Funzy out of the digital world directly to people: via pop-up spaces, events and trade shows across the DACH region.
You develop new locations and partnerships, create memorable experiences around our products and turn first encounters into long-term enthusiasm.
You bring Funzy to the metropolitan areas of the DACH region and take full operational and strategic responsibility for our monthly pop-up stores from A to Z – including location scouting, logistics, team management, live sales and post-event analysis.
You are responsible for a seven-figure revenue channel with clear targets, manage budgets and KPIs, and keep both growth and profitability in focus.
You ensure that every sales space reflects the Funzy brand optimally — creative, premium and absolutely "Insta-ready".
In the medium term you will take a central role in launching our first Funzy flagship store and will actively shape how we expand our offline presence in the coming years.
You establish long-term partnerships and position Funzy where families gather: from family cafés and kid-friendly hotels to concept stores and experience centers.
You develop creative activations, events and campaigns that generate attention, bring people together and drive sales.
You work closely with our marketing team and smartly extend offline experiences into the digital world.
You recruit, train and motivate local promoters and event teams and ensure every activation is a success.
You roll up your sleeves and are the driving force on-site behind our pop-ups and activations.
