Job Description:

The company is entering a critical scale-up phase and is looking for a commercially minded COO to help professionalize and scale the business. The company is building a new production facility, preparing for further fundraising and moving from a founder-led startup setup into a more mature operating organization. The COO will act as the internal operating leader of the company, freeing up the CEO to focus on fundraising, sales and partnerships, while building the systems, structure and execution discipline needed to scale. This is a broad COO role with operational depth — not a narrow manufacturing role.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead and scale the company's internal operating model
  • Drive operational discipline, execution rhythm and accountability
  • Support the new production facility setup and production scale-up
  • Strengthen operations, supply chain, quality and production planning
  • Connect R&D, technology and operations with commercial priorities
  • Build governance, KPIs, leadership cadence and decision structures
  • Act as a strategic sparring partner and experience anchor for the CEO
  • Free up CEO time by taking ownership of internal execution
  • Help prepare the company for further fundraising and growth
  • Build a high-performance culture with speed, clarity and high standards

Requirements:

  • Broad operational leadership experience
  • Experience from scale-up or fast-growing environments
  • Understanding of production, supply chain and commercial execution
  • Preferably exposure to biotech, fermentation, foodtech or technical production
  • Strong strategic and analytical capabilities
  • Ability to communicate clearly with CEO, board and investors
  • Hands-on mindset and high execution speed
  • Ability to challenge, support and complement a founder CEO
  • Ability to build slides, present clearly and translate strategy into action
