  • Prepare concise, high-quality materials for leadership discussions and planning sessions
  • Drive strategic and operational projects such as evaluating new tools, improving internal workflows, or supporting expansion initiatives
  • Act as a trusted execution partner to the leadership team, ensuring ideas translate into results
What We’re Looking For
  • Experience: 2-5 years in strategy consulting, finance, operations, or a similar fast-paced, operational role (previous early stage startup experience is a plus)
  • Financial Acumen: Comfortable with numbers, structured thinking, and supporting core financial processes
  • Organisational Strength: Ability to manage multiple work streams, deadlines, and stakeholders with clarity and reliability
  • Versatility: You enjoy varied responsibilities and adapt quickly to shifting priorities in an evolving environment
  • Proactive & Resourceful: You take initiative, ask smart questions, and seek solutions independently
  • Reliable Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication in English; confident engaging with internal and external partners
  • Tech-Savvy: Strong proficiency with productivity and operations tools (Google Suite, spreadsheets, project management tools). Experience with other core operations software (e.g., Personio) is a plus
  • International Mindset: Bonus if you’ve supported or worked with multi-country operations
What You’ll Get
  • Competitive base salary
  • Access to equity
  • Private health insurance
  • Private pension scheme
  • Flexible work setup + occasional travel to Madrid or Lisbon
  • 20 days of paid time off + national holidays
Who You Are
  • Hungry & Driven: Motivated to grow quickly and take on increasing responsibility
  • Detail-Oriented: You take pride in delivering accurate, high-quality work
  • Hands-On: You’re comfortable diving into operational challenges and making things work
  • Analytical: You break down problems logically and bring structured thinking to ambiguous situations
  • Ambitious: You’re excited by a path that could evolve into Strategy, or Operations leadership
