Head of Corporate Operations
Encontrado en: beBee S ES - hace 1 mes
The company is founder led, profitable and growing. We are hiring a Head of Corporate Operations to lead efficient and effective travel, logistics, event, scheduling, expense policy and administration.
This executive role requires chief-of-staff level coordination, planning, decision-making, budgeting, procurement, reporting and management. It is a fast-paced and complex operation in the tech industry.
With most colleagues working from home and a firm commitment to regular face time for teams, it is necessary for us to coordinate large-scale company events which involve travel for hundreds of people from 70+ countries to locations around the world. We run such events four times a year, a significant investment in our ability to shape culture, teamwork, execution plans and strategy. Our corporate administration team is responsible for travel procurement and logistics, ensuring that these events run efficiently and safely. Visas, travel complications and unexpected situations make this a complex operation to run efficiently, demanding a rigorous approach and high work ethic in the team.
This team also sets expense policy and serves as an independent check on expense claim approval, ensuring fairness and consistency across teams and countries. This requires a firm commitment to integrity, transparency and accountability, and a willingness to set and politely defend the same expectations of the most senior and most junior colleagues.
Together these responsibilities amount to tens of millions in operational costs and a significant number of tactical and operational decisions.
In addition, this team handles traditional 'EA' services for company leads, though they do this across departments and as a consistent service rather than as personal assistants; they set and deliver to expectations on specific kinds of work. They schedule meetings, coordinate monthly reports, handle delegated approvals for travel and expenses, work across teams, coordinate with suppliers, and run small projects or initiatives.
Location: We expect to fill this role in the Europe, Middle East or African time zone. This role reports to the COO.
