● Defining technical implications and timelines for different implementation options in close collaboration with the Technology/Systems team
● Implementing initiatives and process improvements in line with the roadmap through supporting and coaching the Global Operations team members in their projects, engaging key stakeholders across the organization and working with external vendors
● Identifying and anticipating operating risks for the business and taking proactive measures to mitigate them
● Leading the Global Operations team to ensure development of individual team members, enhancing their ability to deliver projects, promoting attitudes and behaviors consistent with Booksy values
● Supporting Operations teams at country level in identifying and delivering operational improvements within local processes and stimulating best practice sharing across countries
