In order to support the exponential growth ahead of us we are looking
to add a VP Operations profile to our current team of thirty
people. The new team member will be instrumental in scaling Nextail’s
operations as we build one of the leading software companies in Europe,
backed by the number one VC fund in Spain according to Dealroom.
The VP Operations will head the Operations and Support areas under the
supervision of the COO, and sits at the core of the value delivered by
Nextail to its clients.
The VP Operations is responsible for implementing and refining the
strategies and processes that enable our clients to quickly roll-out the
different modules that make up our software, from integration to
handover, without a glitch. Additionally, the VP Operations is
responsible for first-line incidence management (internally and
externally).
While most of our operations are run from our headquarters in sunny
Madrid, we also have teams located in the main markets where we operate,
currently Spain, Italy and Russia. English is the company language, but
within the team we speak altogether some 16 languages (counting both
those of humans and computers).
