About the Company:
SmartCore is a fintech holding building infrastructure for the next generation of payments. Our solutions cover the entire financial operations cycle — from core banking and processing to cards, wallets, and anti-fraud systems.
Over the last 6 years, we have built a robust infrastructure in the EU, launched our own payment products, and continue to grow rapidly.
As we expand our operational footprint, we are looking for a Head of Support for a qualitative transformation of our customer support department. This is a key role for a leader ready to take full ownership of our service infrastructure.
The Goal:
Your mission is the complete reorganization of the support department. We need you to build transparent business processes and ensure rigid, real-time control over service standards across all levels.
What You'll Do:
* Process Re-engineering: Conduct a full audit of the current state, then design and implement new operational regulations and workflows.
* Operational Management: Control the efficiency of L1/L2 support lines, manage workload distribution, and monitor response quality.
* Incident Management: Oversee the handling of critical incidents and key cases in real-time; ensure zero tolerance for SLA delays.
* Cross-functional Collaboration: Formulate technical requirements (Bug Reports / Feature Requests) for the IT department and track their implementation.
* Communication Governance: Monitor the quality of interactions with key B2B clients (merchants) to drive retention and loyalty.
* People Management: Optimize team structure, set KPIs, provide training, and make strategic hiring/firing decisions.
Our Ideal Candidate:
* Professional Experience: 3–5+ years in a leadership role within Support or Operations (specifically in Fintech, Payment Processing, or E-commerce).
* Hard Skills: Deep understanding of transaction mechanics, payment systems (Visa/Mastercard), and the factors affecting conversion rates.
* Soft Skills: Strong organizational abilities, a knack for building discipline in distributed teams, and the ability to perform under high-pressure.
* Languages: Fluent English (Upper-Intermediate+) is your primary working language. Russian is a significant advantage for internal team communication.
* Education: Higher education (technical or economic background is a plus).
What We Offer:
* Direct Impact: You report directly to the company founders with broad authority to reform the department and manage your staff.
* Professional Environment: Work within a fast-growing international holding with minimal bureaucracy.
* Competitive Package: A solid salary and an annual bonus based on your KPI performance.
* Location Flexibility: We are based in Barcelona and offer remote or hybrid work options across Europe.
