Job Description:

About the Role We’re looking for a high-potential Operations Lead to help build and scale our U.S. operations in an entrepreneurial, high-growth environment. We actively support customers nationwide, so core processes are in place, but many areas need fine-tuning and improvement. This role is not for someone who expects everything perfectly documented and handed to them – it’s for a builder who can strengthen operations, optimize workflows, and keep the business running smoothly. You will be hands-on from day one, solving problems, coordinating partners, and improving processes behind the scenes. Over time, you’ll help design the operating model, build infrastructure, and grow into a leadership role shaping how our U.S. operations function. We are looking for someone hungry, humble, smart, and adaptable – someone who knows what good looks like and wants to raise the standard.

You move. What Sets You Apart · You have worked in a fast growing or entrepreneurial environment · You have helped build structure where it did not fully exist · You understand what strong operations look like and want to implement that standard · You want real ownership and accountability, not just a title Skills and Capabilities · Strong organizational and problem-solving skills · Sound commercial judgment · Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced setting · Data driven mindset with strong attention to detail · Proficiency in Excel and core operational tools Why This Role Is Different · You are joining at a pivotal phase and what you build will directly shape the business · You will have meaningful ownership and visible impact from day one · There is significant runway for growth, and this role can evolve into senior operational leadership · For the right person, the ceiling is high
