Founder's Associate Head of Operations

About the Opportunity

We are hiring on behalf of a private equity-backed platform building a buy-and-build group in the healthcare supply chain sector.

The strategy is clear; Acquire profitable niche companies professionalize operations scale into a unified high-performance group.

This is a ground-floor opportunity to work directly with experienced investors and operators shaping how multiple businesses are integrated and scaled into a single platform.

Location: Warsaw Poland (Hybrid)
Employment Type: Full-time B2B Contract
Compensation: PLN/year 1% Equity

What Youll Do

• Lead post-acquisition integration of newly acquired companies
• Design and implement processes reporting structures and operational frameworks
• Identify inefficiencies and execute process optimization initiatives
• Work directly with founders on strategic and operational execution
• Coordinate across operations finance and management teams
• Contribute to building a scalable operating model across multiple entities

What Were Looking For

• Experience in startup scale-up or PE-backed environments
• Strong track record in building or optimizing operations (early stage or scaling phase)
• Exposure to Founders Associate / Operations Manager / Chief of Staff-type roles
• Ability to operate in ambiguous fast-paced environments
• Hands-on mindset with strong ownership and execution capability
• Fluent in Polish and English
• Based in Warsaw or able to work hybrid (no relocation support)

Strong Plus

• Experience with post-acquisition integration or buy-and-build models
• Background in consulting with operational execution exposure
• Familiarity with healthcare industrial or supply chain sectors
• Strong understanding of KPIs reporting and business drivers

Why This Role Stands Out

• Operates at the core of value creation in a PE-backed platform
• Direct collaboration with founders on high-impact decisions and execution
• Hands-on ownership of post-acquisition integration and scaling
• Opportunity to build operational systems from scratch (01)
• Exposure to M&A platform building and multi-entity operations
• 1% equity upside with long-term growth potential
• Strong pathway toward COO / platform leadership roles

If youre looking to build not just manage and want direct exposure to PE-backed scaling this role offers a rare opportunity to operate at the core of value creation...
