Expansion Lead Germany

Are you ready to be at the forefront of transforming the real estate industry? As a key leader at Henriksson Storage, the fastest-growing outdoor self-storage company in Europe, you have a unique opportunity to shape a major international business that challenges the traditional storage category. We offer a role where your contributions will have a direct impact on our growth and innovation as we expand across Europe. Storage is one of the few industries where the customer experience hasn’t changed in thirty years. We intend to change that, from the ground up. Henriksson Storage was founded in 2025, and we’ve already gone from idea to 20+ facilities across Sweden and the UK. Our next target is Germany and to grow Henriksson Storage to 1,000 facilities across Europe. Getting there takes a dedicated team: people who move fast, have the courage to innovate, and never stop looking for smarter ways of doing things.

Opening one facility fast is easy; opening a hundred facilities fast, and having every single one of them be somewhere people genuinely trust with their belongings, is not. We take real pride in how well looked-after our facilities are, and as we push toward 1,000 sites, this is the role that makes sure that pride holds up at scale.

The role

You will lead our expansion into the German market - from designing the market strategy, finding the right partners and team and ensuring each site holds the high standard that comes with the Henriksson brand.

You will source, onboard and manage our German partners and oversee the actual work done to build and maintain our sites. You’re constantly looking for better ways to build and operate, trialling new methods, rolling out what works, and dropping what doesn’t. You’ll be the critical link between how fast the business wants to expand and what’s built and run well on the ground, whether that’s on a construction site, with a contractor, or inside a facility that’s already open.

What we’re looking for

Senior experience from operations, expansion or rollout in a fast-growing company, ideally from a startup or scale-up that opened new sites or markets
Background in facilities management, construction, or building services, technically credible with contractors.
Genuinely ambitious, sees this as a platform to grow with the company as it scales
Thrives in a fast-moving, early-stage environment where process is still being built
Confident making the day-to-day calls on site, and just as comfortable keeping the team closely looped in on anything that matters
Hands on, resourceful, and detail oriented, on site through construction and beyond
Curious and experimental, tests new tools and knows when to drop what isn’t working

Hard requirements

Fluent in German and English
Based in Germany with the right to work in Germany
Clean German driving licence
Willing to travel extensively across Germany, including overnight stays
