Jobbeschreibung

Overview

Finance & Business Operations at Kombo – Berlin (On-site).

Hi! I’m Kristina, Operations Lead at Kombo. I’m looking for our first Finance & Business Operations professional to join me in shaping our newly formed Operations team. We are building a central operations function to support rapid growth across Europe, North America, and beyond. This role combines hands-on execution with system-wide process improvement to enable Kombo to scale efficiently and compliantly.

The Role

We are looking for a German-speaking FinOps / BizOps professional who will take full ownership of Kombo’s finance operations while supporting People processes and business administration. You’ll be the go-to person for everything from keeping the lights on financially (billing, dunning, reporting) to ensuring a seamless onboarding experience for new employees.

This role is critical to making sure Kombo scales smoothly, remains compliant, is efficient, and remains employee-friendly as we grow in Europe and North America. You’ll join a small, newly established team where you can take real ownership: not just executing processes, but refining and scaling them for the future.

Some Of What You’ll Do

• Finance Operations:
  • Own accounts receivable/payable, reimbursements, and vendor management
  • Own subscription billing, dunning, and month-end close
  • Support preparation of investor reports
  • Assist with financial reporting and modeling to inform planning and decision-making
• Payroll & Compliance:
  • Run German and U.S. payroll
  • Maintain compliance across multiple entities and currencies
• Business Operations:
  • Manage HR administration and onboarding processes
  • Partner with our office manager & Ops lead on culture-building details like team lunches and perks
  • Write and maintain clear SOPs in Notion for all recurring processes
  • Support internal processes like tooling, communications, and planning

About You

• 2-3 years experience in finance operations or business operations role, ideally in a high-growth startup, consulting, banking
• Strong FinOps skill set: AR/AP, vendor management, billing/dunning, cash management, month-end close, and basic financial modeling
• Knowledge of German payroll and tax rules; U.S. payroll/tax experience is a plus
• Hands-on with finance and HR tools such as Qonto, Personio, Brex, DATEV/Xero, and Notion
• Excellent German and English written/spoken skills
• Detail-oriented, organized, and proactive problem solver
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where you wear many hats
