Job description

Clovr Labs is looking for a contractor to manage the day-to-day validation of new business ideas inside our Innovation & Growth Lab (IGL), working hand in hand with our Marketing team. Let's give you some context on who we're looking for and what to expect when you join the team.

👋 About us

Clovr Labs is an agile technology partner helping high-growth companies solve complex challenges in crypto, cybersecurity, and digital product development.

Our team of engineers, security experts, and product specialists co-build innovative solutions with clients, from strategy to execution. We provide cybersecurity consulting, crypto compliance, and custom software development (from infrastructure design to scalable MVPs). We also research and prototype emerging technologies, including DeFi, AI-native infrastructure, and advanced security systems.

Through our Innovation & Growth Lab, we validate and transform new business ideas into real, market-ready products. Our approach combines strategic advisory, deep technical expertise, and product innovation to build secure, future-proof solutions.

🎯 About the Innovation & Growth Lab (IGL)

IGL is Clovr Labs' exploratory lab, focused on launching and validating new business ideas at high speed. We operate like an internal venture studio, mixing product, growth, and strategy to go from 0 → 1.

Until now, validation has been a shared effort across the whole team. That worked while we were exploring, but today the core team is focused on scaling two ventures born in the lab, CreditCheck and N0, and new-idea validation has been put on hold.

That's where you come in: your mission is to reactivate the validation engine, running its day-to-day together with our Marketing team.

🧩 About the role

As Innovation & Validation Specialist, you'll manage the day-to-day of our validation pipeline: spotting promising opportunities, turning raw ideas into testable hypotheses, running fast and cheap experiments, and delivering clear, evidence-based go/no-go recommendations.

You'll report to our Marketing team and work hand in hand with them: strategy and priorities are defined together, and you'll drive the day-to-day execution of each experiment.

Projects can come from any sector, although most of the opportunities we explore live in the tech and AI space.

🛠 Key responsibilities
  • Scout and evaluate new business opportunities, market trends, and emerging technologies, mostly in tech and AI, but open to any sector.

  • Translate raw ideas into clear hypotheses and structured validation plans: problem, target customer, riskiest assumptions, and success criteria.

  • Design and run lean validation experiments: landing pages, paid campaigns, waitlists, smoke tests, discovery interviews, and lightweight prototypes.

  • Conduct market research, competitive analysis, and customer discovery to assess demand, desirability, and viability.

  • Coordinate day-to-day with the Marketing team and the resources around you, paid media partner, designer, and execution support, to run each experiment.

  • Define success metrics and validation criteria upfront, and share findings and go/no-go recommendations with the Marketing team and leadership.

  • Maintain a structured innovation pipeline, documenting experiments, learnings, and decisions over time.

🤝 You won't do it alone

You'll have a full support system around you to execute at speed:

  • A paid media partner to plan, launch, and optimize validation and acquisition campaigns.

  • A designer for landing pages, ad creatives, and any assets your experiments need.

  • The Marketing team to define strategy and priorities with you, and to help execute the operational actions each experiment requires.

🌊 You might be a fit if you have
  • A true entrepreneurial spirit: you think like a founder, move fast, and make things happen without waiting for instructions.

  • A highly proactive, self-motivated approach to problem solving.

  • The flexibility to adapt to any type of project or sector, and the curiosity to get up to speed on a new market in days, not weeks.

  • 3–5+ years of experience in innovation, venture building, growth, product management, or market validation roles.

  • Familiarity with lean startup and experiment-driven methodologies (MVPs, smoke tests, discovery interviews, hypothesis testing).

  • Strong analytical skills, comfortable designing experiments and interpreting both qualitative and quantitative data.

  • Strong prioritization skills, comfortable running multiple experiments in parallel.

  • The ability to communicate clearly across audiences, translating between business and technical stakeholders.

  • Fluent written and spoken English.

  • Experience in a venture studio, consultancy, or high-growth startup environment is a plus.

  • Hands-on experience with AI tools, no-code platforms, or paid acquisition (e.g. Meta Ads) is a plus.

🔍 What we offer
  • A contractor engagement with full flexibility: remote and asynchronous work within Spain, independence, and autonomy in your day-to-day. Being based in Barcelona or the surrounding area is a plus, as the team meets there regularly. Scope and dedication to be agreed together.

  • A key role in bringing our validation pipeline back to life, hand in hand with the Marketing team.

  • Fair compensation for people with attitude above all (35K - 40K).

  • A stimulating and challenging environment at the intersection of tech, AI, crypto, and cybersecurity.

  • Room to experiment with emerging technologies and new ideas, that's literally the job.

  • A passionate and diverse team to share and learn with.

Clovr Labs is incorporated in Spain and the team meets regularly in Barcelona. We speak English and Spanish, most of the time at the same time, but we would appreciate it if you could send us the contents of your application in English.
