Operations & Strategy Lead for Global Growth

Onodrim Industries; Województwo mazowieckie; Vor Ort; PLN 180.000 - 280.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Onodrim Industries in Poland is seeking a Business Operations and Strategy Lead to drive multi‑functional initiatives across the company’s expanding defence and industrial platform. You will design operating models, stand up new regions and product lines, and push initiatives through to execution with cross‑functional teams.

The role emphasizes building scalable processes, workforce plans, and capacity models, while negotiating with partners and coordinating with finance and legal.

Qualifikationen

• A degree in business, economics, engineering or a closely related discipline.
• 5+ years in roles where you made things happen across an organisation: business operations, chief of staff, strategy and operations at a scale‑up, management consulting with real implementation, or operations leadership inside a growing company.
• A track record of standing something up from nothing – a team, a function, a process, an entity – and leaving it running.
• Strong analytical skills: you build the model yourself, in Excel or SQL, and present the one number that decides the question.
• Comfort with ambiguity: you have been handed a one‑line brief and turned it into a plan and a result, more than once.
• The ability to work across functions and levels without formal authority – with engineers, finance, legal, plant managers and executives – and to get them to decide.
• Clear, direct communication in English, written and spoken – a one‑page memo over a thirty‑page deck.
• Willingness to travel across Europe to portfolio companies, partners and our offices as the work requires.
• Right to work in the UK, Switzerland or the EU.

Aufgaben

• Take the problem nobody owns. Pick up the cross‑functional questions that fall between teams – a new entity, a new process, a decision that has stalled – and drive them to a result.
• Design how new things work. Define the operating model for a new region, product line, function or partnership: who does what, how it is governed, what it costs, what has to be true for it to work.
• Stand it up. Turn the design into a running operation – hire or assign the people, set up the process and tools, run it through the first months, and hand it over.
• Unblock the organisation. Find where decisions, approvals, handoffs and tools slow the company down; fix them, and remove process rather than add it wherever possible.
• Build the models. Workforce and capacity plans, scenario models for growth and integration, unit economics for a new line – built from the company's own data and used to make real decisions.
• Negotiate and structure. Lead or support negotiations with partners, suppliers and counterparties where the arrangement has no template – and work with legal and finance to get it signed and working.
• Run the operating rhythm. Support the leadership team's planning and review cycle – objectives, metrics, business reviews – so the company knows how it is doing and decides quickly.
• Bring data to decisions. Pull together internal data from finance, operations, people and the portfolio companies into analyses the leadership team can act on, and make the data easier to get next time.
• Support integration. Take cross‑functional workstreams in the integration of acquired companies – entity set‑up, shared services, reporting – where no single function owns them.
• Document and hand over. Leave behind something that runs without you: a process, a playbook, a team with an owner.
