• You will champion a culture of continuous learning and improvement within your team and across the expansion initiatives. By fostering an environment where feedback is encouraged and lessons learned are systematically integrated, you will contribute to the ongoing refinement of Deel's expansion methodologies and product offerings.
• This role demands a proactive and results-oriented approach, with a strong emphasis on cross-functional collaboration.
