  • Anticipate scalability needs as the company expands to new markets and adjust technical strategy accordingly.
  • Ensure all tech initiatives support business agility and are adaptable across different operational contexts (online/onsite, multilingual, market-specific models).
  • Oversee the stability, performance, and security of all digital systems, including learning tools, CRM, internal tools (e.g., Monday.com), website, and third-party integrations.
  • Act as the main technical liaison between teams, ensuring tech developments align with marketing, community, sales, and operations needs.
  • Translate business requirements into effective technical solutions.

  • Proactively detect, diagnose, and resolve system issues and tech bottlenecks in a timely and resourceful manner.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in IT leading roles.
  • Excellent English communication skills.
  • Proven experience leading technology in fast-growing, startup environments where structure is still being built and priorities evolve quickly.

  • Experience working in multi-market, multi-language, and cross-functional setups.
  • Ability to operate in ambiguity and “organized chaos”.
  • Strategic thinking combined with hands-on execution.
  • Solid background in system architecture, integrations, and SaaS ecosystems (CRM, LMS, internal tools, websites, APIs).
  • Strong understanding of scalability and how to design systems that grow with the business.
  • Experience with data protection and security standards.
  • Highly proactive and solution-oriented: you anticipate issues before they become blockers.
  • Experience automating processes and improving internal workflows in lean organizations.
