Responsibilities

• You optimize and standardize ops processes along the supply chain with a focus on logistics, material planning, purchasing and warehousing.
• You identify inefficiencies, carry out root cause analyzes and implement measurable improvements (e.g. lead times, inventories, delivery performance, missing parts).
• You build analyses, dashboards and reporting for operational control (E2E transparency, bottlenecks, SLA and ticket tracking).
• You define and control central KPIs (e.g. OTIF, inventory accuracy, stock turns, backlog, ticket aging) including interpretation and derivation of measures.
• You drive end-to-end projects: scope/business case, prioritization, implementation, rollout, adoption and sustainable anchoring (SOPs, training).
• You manage stakeholders cross-functionally in operations as well as at the interfaces to product (including product leads) and tech (data, automation, tooling).
• You provide clear recommendations and updates in direct reporting to the Managing Directors (reviews, decisions, action tracking).

Requirements

• 3-4 years of relevant professional experience in operations/supply chain, process optimization, analytics or a comparable, data-driven environment.
• Background from high-performance environments (start-up/scale-up, management consulting, PE/VC, venture building) is a strong plus.
• You combine analytical excellence with ownership: you work in a structured, decision-oriented manner and consistently bring topics to their goals.
• You are strong in stakeholder management (alignment, decision making, conflict resolution, clear communication).
• You have experience in KPI setup and reporting/dashboards (e.g. data aggregation in Snowflake/AirTable + data visualization in Tableau/PowerBI).
• You can translate requirements cleanly between Ops, Product and Tech.
• Fluent in German and English.
