Job description

Our Mission

Money sitting idle is money lost. We're fixing that.

Founded in 2023 by Antoine and Paul-Adrien, Spiko gives businesses, non-profits, financial advisers, and fintechs access to institutional-grade cash management, via app or API. We are building the full infrastructure: issuing, operating, and distributing the products ourselves.

Two years after launch, we serve thousands of organizations across Europe and process hundreds of millions of euros in flows every month.

Our ambition: become the world's leading treasury management infrastructure in a market worth trillions.

We are backed by Index Ventures, the CEO of Revolut, the founder of Kyriba, and the CTO of Wise.

Spiko runs on excellence, transparency, and straight talk.

The role: Head of Customer Operations

We are looking for the next leader of our Customer Ops team, reporting to our co-founder Antoine.

The team is accountable for the customer experience from a customer's first onboarding step through to their day-to-day questions, and its goal is to make that experience as smooth as possible.

It has two main workstreams:

• Owning account approval (KYC) for new customers: applying our internal rules and handling the back-and-forth that regulatory constraints sometimes require during onboarding.

• Owning customer care across all our support channels, for every customer segment from high-touch, high-value accounts to the smallest ones.

Your missions

As our Head of Customer Ops, you will:

• Build & Scale the Team: You will shape our customer ops team from day one: recruit, mentor, and lead a high-performing ops team as we scale our user base from 3,000 to 100,000+.

• Define Success Metrics: Establish, track, and own the KPIs that define customer satisfaction and operational excellence.

• Pioneer AI-Driven Operations: Design and deploy best-in-class automation and LLM-powered workflows to scale support capacity without linear headcount growth.

• Curate Strategic Knowledge: Own our internal and external knowledge bases, ensuring partners and team members have real-time access to accurate product insights.

• Collaborate with Product and Compliance: Partner closely with Product and Compliance teams, acting as the "Voice of the Customer" to directly influence our product roadmap.

Requirements (must-haves):

• Must-Haves:

  • Experience: 5+ years in Operations or Customer Service, with a proven track record of leading teams in fast-paced B2B environments.

  • Systems Thinker: You are obsessed with efficiency. You would rather build a permanent automated solution than perform a manual task twice.

  • Customer-Obsessed: You are a relentless advocate for a "Tier-1" experience. You are equally comfortable navigating high-stakes meetings with CFOs as you are optimizing low-touch flows for high-volume segments.

  • Communication: You are fluent in French and English, with the ability to simplify complex financial concepts for any audience.

• Nice-to-Haves:

  • Fintech Expertise: Prior experience in financial services or a high-growth fintech environment.

  • Technical Literacy: Comfort working with API documentation and technical integration workflows.What we offer
