Job summary

Benetics AI is seeking an hands‑on operations leader to turn strategy into operating and financial plans, align teams with clear priorities, and drive execution as we scale internationally.

Reporting to the CEO, you will own the annual budget, rolling forecasts, and prioritize investments in people and partners.

Qualifications

• Experience owning an operations function or substantial business unit as Head of Operations, Director of Operations, General Manager or in a comparable role.
• A track record of turning strategy into operating plans, building practical processes and improving execution as a business grows, ideally across countries.
• A record of leading people and cross‑functional execution, with personal accountability for results.
• Comfort switching between a market expansion plan and the practical work needed to deliver it: visiting a customer, fixing a handover, selecting a provider or coaching a new hire.
• Experience owning budgets, financial forecasts and business performance reviews. You can connect operational choices to cash and unit economics, and use the numbers to guide hiring, spending and growth.
• Fluent in German and English, and willing to travel regularly across Europe and to the US as the business requires.

Responsibilities

• Turn company strategy into an annual operating plan with clear priorities, targets, owners, and quarterly milestones.
• Run weekly execution reviews and monthly business reviews. Track performance, resolve cross‑team bottlenecks, and follow through until decisions turn into results.
• Own the annual budget and rolling forecasts for revenue, costs, and cash. Connect the financial plan to hiring, capacity, and international expansion.
• Build and lead the operations function. Set clear responsibilities, hire and develop people, and decide where specialist partners can help us scale.
• Get into the work yourself: fix broken things, improve internal processes, and automate repetitive tasks. Build systems the team can use without relying on the founders for every decision.
