Operations Manager (m/f/d)

WHO WE ARE

Knots, Till Freitag and Leafworks are dynamic and innovative companies specializing in the development of modern solutions for the digital workplace. With a strong focus on high performance, internationality and remote work, we are looking for an exceptional personality to actively shape and strategically develop our teams and our corporate culture.

LEAVE YOUR FOOTPRINT

We’re looking for a tech-savvy Operations Manager with a background in backend development who’s ready to step into a strategic, operations-focused role. You’ll be responsible for optimizing and automating internal processes—especially around invoicing, reporting, and systems integration. This role is ideal for you if you want to pivot from a developer/heavily tech focused role into Operations, bringing a builder mindset and a passion for process improvement.

YOUR TALENT

• You have 3+ years of experience in a role with backend development responsibilities or proven experience in automating and optimizing processes. You’re now looking to transition into a more Operations-focused role and move beyond purely development-focused work
• You’re proficient in Python and SQL
• Experience connecting and working with APIs and databases is a must
• You have a data-driven mindset and pay close attention to detail
• You’re passionate about optimizing and automating processes
• You’re a self-starter with a can-do attitude and eagerness to learn
• Ability to work independently and be output/results-driven
  
  Nice to have:
  
  • Experience with HubSpot
  • Experience using Jira
  • Familiarity with invoicing systems or finance operations
  • Previous experience in startups or high-growth environments

HAVE AN IMPACT

• Playing a key role in our operations team, focused on optimizing and automating internal processes
• Execute and continuously improve our existing invoicing automation process
• Build integrations between systems using APIs and databases
• Ensure data accuracy, consistency, and reliability across platforms
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., tech, finance, business ops)
• Monitor and analyze operational performance metrics
• Take ownership of operational efficiency projects from start to finish

WHY KNOTS

• Play a key role in shaping the company’s operational backbone
• Work in a fast-moving, remote-first environment with a lot of autonomy
• Make a real impact by building systems that scale
• Collaborate with a smart, driven, and supportive team
• We are an international, multicultural team. We look at the people first and then the qualifications, in that order. No matter your education, how old you are, where you live, where you come from or what your CV looks like. “Come as you are, be yourself.”
• “Micro-management” is not your style: neither is ours! You can schedule your own working hours. We work 100% remotely. Fancy a co-working session with colleagues in your area now and then? We're always happy to.
• It's the result that counts: you decide how you work.
• Based on trust: Trust is everything. Period!
• Remote is where the magic happens: you get all the equipment you need to work.
• Get to the next level: Further qualifications, training or courses? Speak to us directly, that's part of it too.
• Stay connected: We live transparency and openness through regular exchanges and feedback talks.
• Prepare for challenges: You won't find boring projects with us! Be ready to get out of your comfort zone.
• Here to stay: We build on long-term cooperation. We do not have fixed-term contracts.
• Dress code: No thanks!
• The WE counts: We strengthen our sense of cohesion and our very special CXA culture through numerous co-workings and team events in Germany and abroad.
• Get started right away: Onboarding that makes you feel at home, your onboarding buddy is at your side from day one.
