About The Position

Monumental is seeking an extremely entrepreneurial operator to be their first General Manager outside of Europe. This role involves establishing a new market by writing the playbook yourself, as Monumental is a vertically-integrated company that designs, builds, and deploys its own hardware and software. The ideal candidate will thrive in an operationally complex environment, handling sales, team building, and deploying cutting-edge technology. This position offers extraordinary autonomy and is well-suited for individuals with prior startup founding experience or those seeking an entrepreneurial role with significant impact. The company is unable to support relocation or sponsorship for this role, and applicants must be US-based and eligible to work, with willingness for frequent travel between the US and the Netherlands. Interviews will begin in September.
