Job Description
ABOUT US
We’re pioneering the future of agrifintech in Europe. We’re on a mission to build a category-defining leader in one of the most crucial industries on the continent: Agriculture. Backed by leading venture capital firms with over €10 million in seed funding, we are a high-impact and output-driven team. We’re rapidly gaining momentum with the first products already loved by customers.
YOUR MISSION
As our Chief of Staff to the Founders, Operations & Risk, you’ll work directly with the founders on some of the company’s most critical priorities across operations, credit risk, and finance.
This is a role for an exceptional, high-potential profile early in their career. Someone with the ambition and execution ability to operate far above their tenure. You’ll help solve complex cross-functional problems, build scalable processes, introduce automation, improve decision-making in risk and finance, and drive mission-critical initiatives from analysis to implementation.
You’ll be expected to think like an owner, move fast in ambiguity, and raise the bar on whatever you touch. This is not a classic staff or support role. It is a demanding, high-exposure seat at the center of the company for someone who wants to work directly with founders, learn at extreme speed, and help build a category-defining business from the inside.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Operations, Automation & Operations Excellence
- This is a highly hands-on role: beyond building processes, you’ll regularly step into the work yourself: executing critical workflows, resolving edge cases, and using frontline exposure to improve how the company operates.
- Build and improve the company’s operating system across its core workflows, from customer onboarding and internal execution to tooling, reporting, and process governance.
- Identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and recurring failure points, and turn them into scalable processes, SOPs, and workflow automations.
- Help design and implement automations across operational processes (e.g. approvals, task routing, reminders, handovers, document flows, internal notifications, reporting pipelines).
- Drive high-priority cross-functional projects with a strong bias for action, clear ownership, and high execution quality.
- Establish transparency through dashboards, KPI tracking, and operating cadences that improve accountability and decision-making.
- Analyse conversion metrics in terms of credit risk rejections and other operational or financial product related conversion killers.
- Improve conversion rates by removing client-related friction points.
Credit Risk
- Support the development and scaling of credit risk processes across the full lifecycle, from application assessment and underwriting support to monitoring, controls, and reporting.
- Help sharpen decision frameworks, credit policies, and exception handling processes together with founders and relevant stakeholders.
- Analyze underwriting and portfolio data to identify patterns, improve risk selection, and strengthen operational decision quality.
- Build robust documentation standards and maintain audit-ready decision trails and control processes.
- Contribute to making risk operations scalable, data-driven, and operationally strong without adding unnecessary complexity.
Finance
- Support finance operations and selected strategic finance topics, including reporting, reconciliations, internal controls, process improvement or financial structuring.
- Improve the structure, quality, and reliability of financial data and underlying documentation.
- Contribute to analytical work related to business performance, portfolio quality, unit economics, and operational-financial planning.
- Support projects related to financing processes, banking relationships, and finance infrastructure as needed.
Founder Office / Strategic Execution
- Work directly with the founders on the company’s highest-priority operational and strategic topics.
- Prepare analyses, decision materials, and structured recommendations for complex business questions.
- Coordinate critical initiatives across teams and ensure strong follow-through, momentum, and alignment.
- Step into ambiguous, messy, or under-owned areas and bring structure, clarity, and execution.
- Act as a force multiplier for the leadership team by combining analytical rigor with hands-on delivery.
