Product Owner / Full-Stack turns into Systems Implementer (Operations & Automation)
Make your next move: specialize in building workflows + automations that scale a company. Systems Implementer at Isleño.
If you’re a PM, PO, or Full-Stack who keeps fixing root causes, mapping flows, and automating the boring parts- this role lets you own the system end-to-end.
About Isleño
Isleño Island Homes buys, renovates, and sells ready-to-move-in flats for remote-working entrepreneurs in Mallorca—and we’re scaling to many hubs. We run like a tech company: systemized operations, standardized product, international scale. We build homes like software.
Our culture in one line: simple, repeatable, better every day. Clear ownership. Early, simple communication.
Why this role is the perfect next step for you
- Clear ownership: you design - build - measure - improve the system.
- Deep work: fewer status meetings, more building and measurable results.
- Real impact: your work removes manual steps, cuts errors, and scales the business.
Specialize: become the Systems Implementer other teams rely on.
What you will do (simple and concrete)
1) Map ? Build ? Automate ? Document
- Map the workflow with clear roles and hand-offs (BPMN-lite, crisp swimlanes).
- Build the live workflow in monday.com / Odoo with owners, SLAs, and status gates.
- Automate repetitive steps with n8n (APIs, webhooks, retries, logging).
- Document as SOP + 5-min Loom, publish in our E-learning.
This is the core loop of the role.
2) Measure - Improve
- Track: on-time completion, overdue %, rework %, manual steps removed, cycle time.
- Ship small upgrades every 2–4 weeks. Keep a simple changelog.
3) Standardize
- Turn good flows into templates that any team can reuse (“hub-in-a-box”).
