Описание вакансии

At JetBrains, we create tools that empower developers to build the future, but behind every product and line of code is a team that keeps our business grounded, connected, and growing. As we expand our presence in Serbia, we’re looking for a Country Manager to lead our Belgrade office with clarity, trust, and purpose.

Our ideal candidate is a driven, reliable leader who thrives on ownership, builds and manages relationships with care, and can represent JetBrains with integrity and purpose. You’ll be the face of our company locally, keeping our values front and center while helping the office flourish.

• Managing strategy: Ensure the smooth running of our operations, aligning with shareholder interests and corporate goals by providing feedback and strategic advice to the CAO.
• Compliance and governance: Fulfill our legal obligations, establish local policies, and adhere to regulatory standards in line with the global company policies.
• Communication: Keep partners updated on key developments, promoting transparency and trust within the organization.
• Local operations: Implement company strategies locally, managing the Office Administration team efficiently and in line with global standards.
• Building relationships: Cultivate long-term relationships with stakeholders, business partners, and authorities, representing our company with professionalism.
• Financial and business oversight: Supervise and approve the financial performance of the office and its business activities in collaboration with the CFO and CAO, ensuring accountancy is duly performed.

• Safety and well-being: Create a safe and inclusive workplace, complying with local laws and fostering a positive culture.

• Cultural promotion: Uphold and promote our company culture, fostering collaboration and support among employees.
• Community engagement: Serve as the main contact for local matters internally and externally, advocating for our office and its interests.

Requirements:

• Experience: Previous experience in senior management roles, with experience in the IT industry being a strong plus.

Why Join Us?

This is a rare opportunity to shape JetBrains’ presence in Serbia at a pivotal moment in our growth. You’ll work closely with global leadership while maintaining the autonomy to drive results locally. We’re not looking for someone to play a role.
