Business Operations Engineer

Our BizOps team

At the crossroads of Product, Operations and Software engineering, the Business Operations team is building the future of the tools and processes we leverage internally to operate. The team combines technical, product, and project management expertise to drive operational excellence and create a strong foundation for our organization’s growth.

More concretely, problems and inefficiencies are brought to the team. We discover the problem, make sure it’s understood, and then evaluate the right technical answers to bring to this problem. It can range from building things completely in-house to leveraging low/no code tools, implementing Saas solutions, or just building processes.

What You Will Do

As a Business Operations Engineer, you will build and operate entire business units and coordinate multiple teams to deliver strategic initiatives for the company.
Leveraging your 360° view of Joko’s business operations, you will continuously optimize and automate processes to ensure Joko operates at the highest level of efficiency. You are an Engineer at heart but you also have a knack for process design and strategic project management.

• Process design and technical implementation. Razor-focused on execution and efficiency, you will work hand in hand with all of our teams (Product, Engineering, Sales, Customer Service, Account Management, Marketing, Finance, etc.) to ensure we have the best tools and processes in order to be efficient and scalable in our operations. Your role will be twofold:

1. Gathering feedback and needs from all teams at Joko, you will design and take ownership of the processes addressing them. Whenever possible, you will automate those processes by writing feature specifications and prioritizing which ones to implement.

2. You will then be responsible to implement these internal features from A to Z across the entire technical stack, putting on your Software Engineer hat and in full ownership.

   All of this with the goal of helping the whole organization improve its performance indicators, save time, and reduce risks.

• Project management. You will lead and coordinate strategic projects with multiple stakeholders, be they internal departments or external partners, to ensure smooth and efficient delivery. Such projects will include - but the list is not exhaustive - the rollout of new business lines and features, the launch of new countries, and transverse projects aimed at improving the company’s operational and financial performance. You are expected to be a driving force in defining which strategic projects need to be launched.

You will be part of the Operations team (working with other Business Operations Analysts/Engineers, Data Analysts, and Customer Care Experts) and you will report to the Business Operations Lead.

• Education: you graduated from a top engineering school or have led outstanding entrepreneurial projects.

• Problem solver: You have strong analytical skills, you are creative, and you love solving complex problems.

• Quick-thinker: You are comfortable navigating and making quick decisions in uncertain contexts.

• Engineer at heart: You are comfortable in a technical environment. You are always curious to understand how things work and you are able to quickly learn new programming languages, new frameworks, or new practices. Bonus (but not required) if you have data analysis or software engineering technical skills.

• Autonomy: You are fully autonomous and able to manage complex projects from A to Z.

• Communication: You have strong written and verbal communication skills, and you are able to explain something complex with simple words.

• Mindset: You have an entrepreneurial mindset, you like challenges, you like getting hands-on and you want to know more about how a tech start-up company works.

• Efficiency: You are fond of productivity tips and able to deliver on time on projects with many stakeholders.

• Attention to details: You know that the devil is in the details, and you have a talent for spotting flaws where there are.

• Languages: You are fluent in English both written and spoken, as we are expanding internationally. Mastering French is not required.
