Operations Manager
About Enode
At Enode, our mission is to accelerate the transition to a sustainable energy system by connecting and optimizing the world’s energy devices. A fully renewable energy system is dependent on flexible demand that can adapt to the intermittent supply from wind and solar. To create this flexibility, we need to connect to and control the fast-growing demand coming from electric vehicles, heat pumps and other energy hardware. This is what we’re doing at Enode. Our APIs power the next generation of green energy apps, with our customers representing over 250 million consumers worldwide. Yet, we’re still at the start of our journey, and we want exceptional people to join us.
About the role
As our first dedicated operations hire, you’ll have a broad scope and will be a key force in building out a world-class operations function to support our scaling efforts as we continue on our journey to accelerate the transition to a sustainable future. This role is ideal for a builder and problem solver with a hands-on approach and a passion for creating efficient, high-impact systems. You’ll lead operational initiatives, processes, and ensure that Enode runs smoothly and efficiently, helping us make real progress toward our mission.
The role will include (among other responsibilities) the following key activities:
Develop and implement scalable processes and systems to support organizational growth
Leverage new technologies (including AI) and tools to enhance efficiency and amplify human input
Define and monitor key performance metrics to track and accelerate our growth
Shape and support strategic initiatives across all areas of the business
Oversee and optimize financial operations
Lead strategic planning efforts and drive alignment across teams
Collaborate cross-functionally to plan cultural initiatives and events, including our annual offsite
Negotiate and manage strategic vendor partnerships to support our goals
About you
We’re looking for smart, structured, and highly logical individuals with ambition and strong analytical skills. You should be naturally curious, driven to make an impact, and focused on bringing ideas to life.
We are looking for someone with:
3+ years of relevant experience in operations within a high-growth, VC-backed start-up, or a combination of strategy consulting and operational expertise
Demonstrated ability to apply analytics and quantitative methods to shape and drive informed decision-making
A problem-solving mindset with a talent for dissecting complex challenges and effectively leading change initiatives
Intellectual curiosity about our product and the energy transition, with a readiness to explore and master new topics and technologies
A hands-on approach and a proactive attitude toward achieving results
A deep passion for our mission and enthusiasm for contributing to what we are building
What we offer
A stimulating, fun, and caring work environment with high drive and ambition
Opportunity to join an early-stage climate tech startup with global aspirations
Competitive compensation, including a very attractive employee option program
Unlimited PTO & flexible working schedule
A remote-first setup
Stipend for setting up your home office & co-working space
Regular offsites with the team in various exciting locations (we went to Costa Brava 🇪🇸 on the last one)

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive and authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
