How Do I Get My Old Career Back?

Dear Experts, Some years ago I decided to move back to Spain. I left my job in an American company after a quite successful career in Sales Operations, unfortunately without much planning. Otherwise, I would have found out Sales Operations is a job position unique to American and some British firms. Indeed, in these last few years given the uniqueness of this position across European companies, I only had one prospective Sales Operation job, as most these (American/British) companies do not have a Sales Operations team but rather a lonely position: a manager that covers Europe as a whole. This has left me working in job roles I did not really see myself in. I would like to get back to Sales Operations and do not have the option to work in the States. What do you recommend?
