Head of Operations

Pracovní nabídka

We’re part of the space industry – and proud of it. We build satellites and smart technologies that travel into space. But behind every successful mission, we also need a company that works efficiently here on Earth.

That’s why we’re looking for a Head of Operations who will ensure that our internal operations run smoothly and provide effective support across the company. You will take overall responsibility for the company’s Operations function, covering back office, internal IT, facilities and company assets. Your role will be to continuously improve these services, defining clear processes and responsibilities, simplifying ways of working, and using digitalisation and automation wherever they bring real value.

What will you be responsible for?

Back office operations: You’ll oversee the day-to-day functioning of back office services and ensure that administrative and operational requests are handled reliably. You’ll set clear responsibilities, priorities and ways of working so that employees know where to turn and receive the support they need.

Internal IT: You’ll oversee internal IT support, employee equipment, system access and software licences. You’ll ensure that clear security rules are in place, IT requests are handled reliably, and cooperation with external IT providers works effectively.

Facilities and company assets: You’ll ensure that our offices, meeting rooms and shared spaces are functional, safe and well maintained. You’ll also oversee company equipment, asset records, handovers and returns, external suppliers and the cost-effective delivery of services.

Business support: You’ll ensure that the Operations team responds flexibly to the company’s changing needs and provides practical support where required. This may include coordinating company events, business meetings, visits and other ad hoc operational requests.

GDPR and compliance: You’ll oversee GDPR processes, documentation and employee training, and ensure that Operations is prepared for audits and other compliance requirements.

Digitalisation and automation: You’ll identify manual or inefficient activities and find practical ways to simplify, digitalise or automate them, including through the effective use of AI.

Operational development: As a member of the leadership team, you’ll help shape how the company operates internally, reduce unnecessary complexity and build clear, scalable processes that support employees effectively.

Team leadership: You’ll lead a team of two people, set clear priorities and ensure that the team provides reliable and timely support across the company.

Budget and cost management: You’ll manage the Operations budget, monitor costs and ensure that company resources are used efficiently and responsibly.

International operations coordination: You’ll support our international offices in aligning their operational processes with company-wide standards

Who are we looking for?

• You have experience in operations, internal IT, process management or a similar role, ideally in a technology-driven company or an engineering environment such as automotive development.
• You are able to manage complex responsibilities across multiple areas of a company.
• You think logically, work in a structured way and can bring clarity to situations where responsibilities or processes are not yet clearly defined.
• You do not need to be a software developer, but you should understand technology well enough to recognise what can be digitalised or automated and to propose suitable solutions.
• You take ownership, make decisions and bring things to completion.
• You communicate clearly and are confident when introducing new ways of working.
• You can communicate effectively in English with international colleagues and partners.

What we offer

• A key role with a visible impact across the whole company.
• A high level of autonomy and the opportunity to shape our internal operations.
• Close cooperation with the company’s leadership team.
• A growing Czech space technology company with global ambitions.
• A team of around 50 people who value collaboration, practical solutions and open communication.
• Benefits including a meal allowance, a contribution towards a Multisport card, language courses and sick days.
• Modern offices in Brno, parking on company premises, team events, occasional barbecues and snacks in the kitchen.

...and that’s just a small taste of what we offer. Get in touch – we’ll be happy to tell you more.
