Vacature
The International Operations Director is crucial in Maykers' further European expansion. The company is aiming to enter several new countries this year and the following years. In each country, the International Operations Director will essentially be responsible for setting up shop.
On the one hand, this concerns the marketplace, such as the legal entity, payment methods, and platform localizations. On the other hand, it requires the integration of Kramp as a seller, including assortment selection and pricing. The International Operations Director puts the initial country structure in place by leveraging their own execution power and by connecting the right people in the organization to get the work done. An example would be connecting a local marketeer with the platform tech team. As soon as the country organization is up and running, it is handed over to a local Country Director.
The International Operations Director directly manages an execution team of five to six people, a project manager, and the customer support team. In addition, collaboration with the Kramp organization is expected to increase, and strong stakeholder management is key. In each new country, Kramp will be integrated into the Maykers marketplace yet local know-how on e-commerce is not always on hand. Moreover, the International Operations Director works with the Kramp Board of Directors and therefore at the intersection of Maykers and Kramp. Overall, this requires someone who is decisive and clear-minded.
