Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features.

We're looking for a true operator — someone who’s scaled companies from $10M to $100M+ from the inside. Hands-on. sleeves rolled up. solving for complexity, inefficiency, and growth bottlenecks in real time.

This is not a strategist role.

This is not for consultants or managers who sit on the sidelines.

If you’ve lived through the warzone of scale and built the ops machine from the ground up, this is the role for you.

About the Role

As Head of Operations, you’ll lead and evolve our operational backbone — overseeing HR, Accounting, Finance, Customer Success, Product Operations, and internal systems. You'll work cross-functionally to ensure we scale with clarity, efficiency, and precision.

You’ll be a key member of the executive team, driving operational excellence across all departments, designing systems that unlock scale, and helping us transition from a services-led company to a product-first business with SaaS-level performance.

About Us

We’re Extenteam, a fast-growing company revolutionizing the short-term vacation rental industry. Our proven business model has generated consistent revenue, and we’re now expanding from a professional services model to a scalable, tech-enabled subscription platform.

We’re a tight-knit team of 50, spanning Sales, Partner Success, Marketing, HR & Recruiting, Engineering, Product, and Admin. We operate globally, with hubs in Miami, LA, Medellín, and expanding quickly into Europe. Our core team is backed by 400+ Dedicated Team Members supporting our clients.

Our goal is to double revenue by January 2026 through Tailwind — our new AI-assisted SaaS platform that supports operators of all sizes with guest communication, operational efficiency, and integrated services.

How We Work

Our leadership philosophy is inspired by “founder mode,” as championed by Airbnb’s Brian Chesky. That means:

  • Being hands-on and visionary
  • Staying close to product and customers
  • Solving problems directly and creatively
  • Working with urgency and ownership

We value proactive leadership, accountability, and radical collaboration. This role is for someone who thrives in that environment.

MUST-HAVE REQUIREMENTS — DO NOT APPLY UNLESS YOU CHECK ALL

Experience Scaling

  • Played a hands-on operational leadership role in a SaaS or professional services company that grew from $10M to $100M+ in revenue (or $10M to $50M ARR).
  • Built systems, teams, and processes — not from theory, but by doing.
  • Has 6–8+ years in senior operations roles, ideally in tech, financial services, or private equity.

  • Able to map processes visually, find inefficiencies fast, and design/implement scalable workflows.

  • Used data to drive team accountability, growth, and improvement.
  • Strong analytical skills with experience working with large datasets, performing ROI analysis, and building dashboards via no-code tools.

  • Thinks holistically across all operations (HR, CS, Finance Ops, Product, etc.).
  • Balances strategic foresight with tactical execution. Gets in the weeds when needed.
  • Process-first mindset with high attention to detail, and adaptability in fast-changing environments — understands the role may evolve every 6 months.

Adaptability & Commitment
  • Comfortable operating in a high-growth, fast-paced environment with changing priorities.
  • Flexibility to work across time zones and manage remote team dynamics.
  • Willing to spend 2–4 weeks onboarding in-person with the founder (US or Europe).
  • This position is a hybrid role - follows a flexible hybrid model. To collaborate closely with the founder and other key stakeholders, you’ll join us on-site every other week (or several days each week, if preferred). We don’t enforce a rigid policy, but regular in-person time is important for success in the role.
Who You Are
  • You move quickly, see around corners, and sweat the details.
  • You’re humble, direct, and deeply competent.
  • You don’t look for credit — you look for outcomes.
  • You’ve been in the arena, and you want to do it again — this time, even better.
Why Join Us

You’ll have a seat at the table, real influence, and the chance to do the best operational work of your career.

If this sounds like your kind of challenge — we want to hear from you.
