Head of Operations

About Coderco

The Role

Responsibilities

• Lead day-to-day operations across the academy, community and content arms
• Own the student journey end to end, from onboarding through to placement
• Hire, onboard and manage a small but high-performing team
• Design processes, SOPs and utilise tooling (Notion, Slack, Skool, automations) that facilitates the business to scale
• Own KPIs, reporting and operational visibility for the leadership team
• Manage vendors, contractors, and partners
• Build, ship and maintain internal AI workflows that remove manual work and compound team output

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in operations, ideally at a scaling startup or education business
• Proven track record of building systems and processes that scale
• Experience hiring, managing, and holding people accountable without micromanaging
• Hands-on with AI tools and automation, ideally building agent skills, MCP servers, or similar
• Comfortable specifying, prototyping, and shipping AI workflows using tools like Claude, Cursor, n8n, and Zapier
• Sharp written and verbal communication, highly autonomous
• Deep care for career development, community building, and helping others win
• Experience in EdTech, bootcamps, or community-led businesses is a plus
• UAE-based is a plus
• We're open to candidates based anywhere... just please have a decent internet connection XD
• Candidate based or willing to relocate to the UAE are preffered.
• If some of the above doesn't line up perfectly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply.
• You're the right fit if:
• You genuinely care about people. Community building, mentorship, and seeing others win aren't buzzwords for you, they're the reason you do what you do.
• You take ownership. When something's broken, you fix it. When something's missing, you build it. No waiting for permission.
• You're a systems thinker. You see complexity and instinctively want to turn it into a process, a playbook, or an automation.
• You move fast without being sloppy. High output, fail fast and iterate.
• You're AI-native. You don't just use AI, you build with it and you're always asking how to remove yourself from the loop.
• You thrive in ambiguity. To be transparent early-stage scaling can feel messy however if you enjoy completely autonomy with the ability to try out things that might sound "silly" or "unrealistic" to some then CoderCo is the place for you.
• You want to build something that matters. Helping people change their careers and their lives should light you up with fulfillment.
• You're probably not the right fit if you need a rigid playbook, prefer big-company structure or see operations as paperwork rather than craft.
• What you get at CoderCo
• 🤝 An ambitious, high-trust team with real ownership
• 🧑‍💻 Direct line to the CEO and a seat at the leadership table
• 🤖 An AI-first environment where automation is the default, not the exception
• 🏙️ Fully remote, work from anywhere with reliable internet
• ⏰ Flexible hours built around output, not clock-watching
• 🌴 25 days annual leave + UAE public holidays
• 📚 Annual learning and development budget of $2000
• 💷 £45,000 – £70,000 base salary + performance-based bonus
