Full job description
ABOUT CODEWAY
Codeway started in 2020 as a small team in Istanbul to build apps people would actually enjoy using. Today our 60+ apps, including Cleanup, Retake AI and Learna AI, have reached more than 600 million users. We're 400+ people across Barcelona and Istanbul, at $400M+ ARR, profitable and self-funded the whole way. We recently started a new global HQ in Barcelona and reorganised into verticals: business units that operate like focused product companies, alongside a shared HQ. Small teams, real ownership, and decisions measured in days, not quarters.
THE ROLE
You'd work directly with our Founding Partner & VP, in close contact with our CEO, our vertical leaders, and teams across Finance, Legal, HR, TA, Global Mobility, Workplace and Brand.
It's a wide seat, and it suits someone sharp and low-ego. Some weeks it's how we plan and where our people and money go. Some weeks it's how we grow and reward the people who move the company, or how Codeway tells its story. Always the things that belong to everyone and so often to no one. You'll often be the one connecting teams, translating between them and helping them land on a decision, and that has to sit well with you.
You won't start with a team. The scope grows as you do, and if it works, we see this becoming a leadership role across Codeway.
WHO WE'RE HOPING TO MEET
Background
You've spent a few years in strategy, operations or a CEO's office, ideally in hypergrowth, close enough to a founder or CEO to have owned real outcomes, not just advised on them.
You've worked across countries and cultures, and an international team feels like home.
You're AI-native. You'd fit right into our teams, and you probably already have a few agents of your own up and running.
How you work
You pair exceptional analytical rigor with clear writing, and you can have the hard conversation with both care and honesty.
You make the people around you stronger. You can step into someone else's area without anyone feeling stepped on, and still get the decision made.
You're curious before anyone asks, and you tend to have a view on a product or a team before you've been formally introduced.
BEFORE YOU APPLY
Codeway is a demanding place. We're ambitious, we hold ourselves and each other to a high bar, and this role asks for significant commitment. In return, most people here learn and grow faster than they expected to.
This probably isn't the right role if:
You're looking for a well-defined job description or a predictable week.
You'd rather work mostly remote.
You need regular recognition to stay motivated.
You take it personally when work you've invested in gets redirected or deprioritised.
WHAT WE OFFER
· A Competitive Compensation Package.
· Meal and Travel Compensation.
· Full Private Health Insurance.
· Gym and Wellbeing benefits.
· A Top-Notch Office in the heart of Istanbul.
· Free Barista Coffee & Breakfast in the office.
A LAST NOTE
We're being a little shy here on purpose. There's a lot more we'd love to tell you in person. If you've looked at what Codeway has built and what this role touches, you've probably already sensed the size of the challenge. Let’s meet if that excites you.
And if your CV doesn't tick every box but this still sounds like you, apply anyway. We'd be more than happy to asses your application still.
