We are looking for an Operations & Tutor Success Lead to drive the end-to-end supply chain, scheduling logistics, capacity planning, and overall performance of our tutor network across Latin America. This is an operations-first role designed for a "mini-founder" who thrives in high-complexity environments: someone who can optimize supply and demand, streamline scheduling workflows, manage unit economics, and build scalable operational playbooks.
Think of this person as our "Head of Fleet Operations" (Uber / Rappi marketplace style) for tutors: a supply chain and operations operator who masters capacity planning to protect gross margins, eliminates operational friction, and keeps our tutor community highly engaged, active, and performing. A tutor's operational efficiency directly impacts session quality, overall retention, and unit profitability.
Today, this is a hands-on, individual-contributor role owning supply operations, capacity logistics, and tutor engagement. As volume grows, this role will scale into leading the broader Tutor Operations and Supply division.

- Unit Economics & Margin Target: Monitor supply costs and operational efficiencies to help safeguard our target Gross Profit Margin / COGS (maintaining a 70%+ margin).
- Targeted Recruiting: Lead tutor acquisition across Lat Am, prioritizing high-quality bilingual talent (specifically strong in Math/Algebra and History).
- University Partnerships: Build relationships with universities across Lat Am to establish a reliable pipeline of student tutors.
