• Design and implement management frameworks for Revenue, Customer Success, and organizational performance, fostering a data-driven and accountable culture.
• Act as the CEO’s primary counterpart in Chile, contributing to the autonomy of the local operation and reducing dependency on centralized decision‑making.
• Prepare executive reports, business analyses, and management dashboards for the leadership team and U.S. hub, ensuring visibility and alignment regarding local business performance.
• Participate actively in strategic meetings with teams and stakeholders in the United States, acting as a bridge between both operations and facilitating the transfer of knowledge, best practices, and capabilities developed in Chile.
• Contribute to the development of processes, systems, and management models that can successfully be replicated in the U.S., supporting the consolidation and scaling of the business in both markets.
• Make decisions regarding resource prioritization, initiatives, and organizational development, balancing local operational needs with global company objectives.
• Lead and support the local team through a period of organizational transformation, promoting focus, clarity, accountability, and a results-oriented culture.
