3. Lead a team of 2-3 talented individuals to ensure all Operations projects are delivered efficiently and within budget.
4. Work with our European network of suppliers and manufacturers to find creative and effective production solutions.
5. Collaborate with our COO to identify opportunities for operational improvements, cost-saving measures, and performance optimization.
6. Communicate clearly with clients at every step — turning complexity into clarity and building trust through your expertise.
7. Contribute actively to team meetings and workshops, with your input, ideas, jokes.
