Job description
This role is that leader. Based in Mexico City and reporting directly to our Global Head of Operations in Barcelona, you will own operations across the Americas: lead the local team, act as the operational counterpart for the regionâs business leadership, and make sure the way we run things globally actually works in the markets furthest from headquarters. The Team Youâll Lead A multidisciplinary operations team based in Mexico City, serving LatAm and the United States:
- Customer Support - our in-house squad resolving technical and logistics incidents across the region
- Logistics - controlling last-mile delivery across every country in the region
- Operations Engineering - the systems and processes behind everything that happens after a school says yes: orders, invoicing, deliveries, licences and access
- Legal - managing contracts and local compliance across every country across LatAm and the US
- Finance Operations - running invoicing, payments and collections for the region, in the right time zone and aligned with local tax requirements Each of them is functionally connected to a global discipline led from headquarters, and each works daily with country managers and regional leadership. Youâll be the person who makes the whole thing work as one. What Youâll Own Think of our operations as a matrix. The horizontal lines are global disciplines - production and purchasing, logistics, planning, operations engineering, revenue analytics, support - each led from Barcelona and each serving every market. The vertical lines are regions: Europe, Spanish LatAm, Brazil, the United States. You own the American verticals. Your job is to make sure that the wheel those global disciplines turn actually turns well when you look at it from these regions. You donât need to build every solution yourself, but you need to see it and turn it into a clear request for the teams who can. Concretely, that means three things.
-
Lead the team, in person. These are people with real weight in the company, and today they get their leadership over video calls at odd hours. Youâll give them what distance canât: context, direction, growth, and someone who notices when something is off before they have to say it. Hallway conversations, difficult feedback, career paths, day-to-day unblocking.
-
Be the operational reference point for the region. Country managers and regional leadership need a counterpart who understands operations end to end - supply chain, logistics, finance operations, support - and who can turn âweâre going to need thisâ into something headquarters is already preparing. A live example: weâre piloting new products in the US. Product has delivery deadlines, the material has to be produced, shipped and cleared into the US, and licences have to be provisioned. Someone has to sit with the regional lead, extract exactly what is needed and when, and then drive headquarters to make it happen on time. Thatâs you. We also expect the push to go the other way. When you need something from Barcelona, we expect you to come and get it.
-
Challenge us. We design internal processes, tooling and calendars from Barcelona with a global hat on. Weâre certain that some of those decisions are wrong for Mexico or for the US, and we canât see it from here. Youâll have the local context we lack, and we expect you to use it: to tell us when a process doesnât survive contact with reality on your side, and to push until it changes. The same applies to our external partners. When a supplier or service provider in the region underperforms, youâll engage directly at the appropriate level, identify the root cause and drive the resolution. And where a partner selected from headquarters isnât the right fit for your market, we expect you to make the case for change and see it through., + Weâre eager to learn. We challenge ourselves constantly and treat every problem as something to learn from.
- Weâre humble. We value collaboration, feedback and ideas that work - not hierarchy.
- We enjoy the ride. Culture, flexibility and trust are what make impact sustainable. Inscribirse en esta oferta Recibir ofertas similares por correo electrĂłnico Al crear una alerta, aceptas nuestros TĂ©rminos y condiciones y PolĂtica de privacidad, y el uso de cookies.
Requirements
Youâre an operator. You understand how internal processes and systems actually work, and you understand the business well enough to know which trade-off is the right one. What we expect you to bring:
- Solid experience running operations in a fast-growing, high-standards environment - operations, supply chain, business operations, regional operations, strategy and operations, or a strong consulting background followed by real operating roles
- Experience leading a team, including the uncomfortable parts of it
- Comfort moving between a board-level conversation and a spreadsheet of delivery exceptions in the same afternoon
- Strong stakeholder management across cultures, seniority levels and time zones - youâll be the bridge between local teams, regional leadership and headquarters
- A structured, systems-minded way of thinking: you see patterns, you spec solutions clearly, and you donât solve with brute force what can be solved once
- High ownership and resilience. This role gets thrown at the deep end on purpose
- Fluent Spanish and English - both, daily
- Willingness to travel across the region, including to the US
- Comfort using AI tools to make yourself and your team faster Nice to have: exposure to supply chain or physical distribution, familiarity with CRM and operational tooling (Salesforce and similar), and experience in EdTech or any business serving institutional customers.
About the company
This role is based in Mexico City and requires relocation. The hub is there, the team is there, and proximity is the whole point of the position. Weâll support your move. Youâll travel regularly to Barcelona to stay close to the global teams, and across the region - LatAm and the US - as the work requires. About Innovamat Innovamat is an educational organization specialized in mathematics teaching. Founded in Barcelona in 2017, Innovamat provides schools with a comprehensive, evidence-based mathematics program spanning from Early Childhood Education through Secondary School, developed together with leading experts in mathematics didactics, cognition, and neuroscience. The program integrates curriculum, teacher training, assessment, and intervention into a single coherent system. Present in 9 countries and serving more than 720,000 students, Innovamat is one of the few organizations in the sector with efficacy data independently validated by external research institutions. It is also the first non-U.S. organization to successfully complete the California State Board of Educationâs adoption process for a core mathematics curriculum. About the Role and Why Itâs Special Innovamat runs operations centrally. Supply chain, internal systems, revenue analytics and support engineering all live at headquarters in Barcelona, and they serve all nine countries. Thatâs a deliberate choice: itâs how we stay efficient and how a good practice invented in one market reaches the other eight. But some things cannot be run from nine time zones away. Over the last few years weâve placed people in Mexico as needs appeared - first a support specialist, then logistics, then post-sale operations, then legal. What started as a handful of individual hires is now a real operations hub serving all of LatAm and the United States. It has grown into a team that needs a single leader on the ground., Var Group Iberia Barcelona Head of Strategy & Operations Crandon Barcelona, Catalonia, 08008 Head Of Operations (Traveltech) Tripjoin Barcelona, Barcelona Volver a la Ășltima bĂșsqueda Trabajos ) Cataluña ) Barcelona ) Head of Operations - Americas (relocation to CDMX) ( volver a la Ășltima bĂșsqueda Recibir ofertas similares por correo electrĂłnico No gracias, llĂ©vame a la oferta de empleo Al crear una alerta, aceptas nuestros TĂ©rminos y condiciones y PolĂtica de privacidad, y el uso de cookies.
