Job Description - US Country Manager

Wen wir suchen

US Country Manager
Field-based and flexible (work anywhere)
West Coast preferred (San Francisco Bay Area or Los Angeles)
Full-time, or part-time to start, with a path to full-time
Employed directly by our US company, Ryzon Performance Apparel, Inc.
Reports to Ryzon's leadership team at our HQ in Germany, with a direct line to the founders

Deine Zuständigkeiten/Aufgaben

You are the face of Ryzon in the US. You build community, show up at events, connect with riders, and turn local presence into real brand love and real sales.

Build and grow community (your core focus)

Recruit, onboard, and develop a network of Ryzon ambassadors: set clear expectations, train them on brand and product, and support them so every ride, event, and appearance meets Ryzon's standard
Build genuine relationships with local cycling and triathlon clubs, cafés, shops, creators, and the broader endurance scene, and bring Ryzon in as a sponsor and partner through those communities
Plan and host regular group rides, runs, and community moments that people actually want to come back to
Be a consistent, recognizable presence in the West Coast cycling and triathlon community

Own our presence at events

Represent Ryzon on the ground at races, expos, and pop-ups (think Sea Otter, gravel series, local race weekends), together with the German team and the local team we will build together
Run our booth and event activations end-to-end: setup, staffing, atmosphere, breakdown
Sell product directly to athletes at events and pop-ups, and make it feel like part of the experience, not a transaction

Be our person on the ground

Act as the first local point of contact for US topics: partners, retailers, event organizers, riders, and service providers
Take ownership of local operational decisions, in close collaboration with HQ
Help build the operational backbone of the US business as it scales
Over time, scout locations for and help build out a physical Ryzon store in the US
Feed insights back to Germany: what US athletes want, how product fits, and what the scene is talking about

Was du mitbringen solltest

Deeply connected to the cycling and/or triathlon scene. You already know people, and people already know you. You ride, you race, or you're embedded in the culture.
A natural connector. You light up a room (or a group ride). You build trust fast and make people feel part of something.
Hands-on and unfussy. You're as comfortable selling jerseys out of a tent in the rain as you are pitching a partnership over coffee. No task is beneath you in a launch phase.
Self-directed. You can own your calendar, your region, and your goals without daily supervision.
A strong founder mindset. You treat the business as your own and operate with high agency and ownership.
Commercially minded. You understand that community and sales aren't opposites: done right, one drives the other.
A close partner to HQ, comfortable working solo. For a while, you'll likely be the only person on the ground in the US, so you thrive working independently and take real ownership of your region. At the same time, you keep a close, open line to the team in Germany: you share what you're seeing and align on direction, so the US and HQ move as one team.

Practical must-haves

Authorized to work in the US (this is a local, US-based employment)
A valid US driver's license and willingness to travel regularly across your region and to key events, including some evenings and weekends

Nice to have

Experience at a cycling, triathlon, run, or endurance/outdoor brand, in community, retail, events, or ambassador management
A track record of building or leading a local riding/run community
Experience running event activations or managing pop-up retail
Experience owning operational or commercial responsibility in a small or early-stage setup
Comfort with social content (you'll often be the one capturing the moment)

Was wir bieten

A rare ground-floor role: build Ryzon's US community and business from scratch and own it
High autonomy and a direct line to the founders and HQ team in Germany
The credibility and product quality of an established European brand behind you
Competitive compensation, with structure to be tailored to a full-time or part-time start
Flexible, work-anywhere setup, no fixed office
