Valeria is building the future of HR and payroll in Spain. We're an AI-native platform that automates contracts, payroll, and compliance for companies with high employee turnover (hospitality, delivery, events, agriculture). We're rethinking how an entire industry works—moving from manual, error-prone processes to intelligent automation. We're a fast-growing startup backed by top investors, disrupting a €5B+ industry that's still stuck in spreadsheets and legacy software.

Your Role Valeria is growing fast, which means internal processes break at the same speed they're created. We're looking for someone to make the company's internal operations run smoothly overall, from how information flows between teams to automating everything that's currently done by hand.

This isn't a product or customer-facing role. It's the internal engine of the company.

What You’ll Do

Own the company's internal operations end to end, working hand-in-hand with the COO — you decide what "smooth" looks like and make it happen

Coordinate internal projects across the ops department, from kickoff to delivery

Turn manual, repetitive processes into automated ones using no-code/low-code tools (Zapier, Make, similar) — and build lightweight internal tools or scripts when no-code isn't enough

Evaluate and roll out AI tools to speed up internal workflows across teams

Design and document processes so they don't rely on tribal knowledge





Spot and fix operational bottlenecks before they slow the company down

Track and report on key operational metrics to the COO

Must-have

Background in engineering, from a startup environment

3-5 years of experience in business/company operations (not HR) at startups or high-growth environments

Comfortable working with AI tools as part of your daily workflow

Real experience automating processes with no-code/low-code tools

Ability to turn "this is chaos" into a clear, documented process without being asked twice

Comfortable with ambiguity, processes here are built on the fly

Strong written communication: you'll be documenting a lot

Comfortable writing code (Python, JS, or similar) to build internal tools when no-code isn't enough — this isn't a nice-to-have, you'll use it
