Are you ready to join a fast-growing Ukrainian brand and take ownership of building their Polish operations?

Trusted by 500+ companies including Monobank, Grammarly, Fozy, Raiffeisen Bank, and Epam.

We have a proven business model, established processes, and deep operational expertise — and we're now expanding into Poland. We're looking for a COO to take this foundation, localize it, and build a high-performing, self-sufficient Polish office.

We're looking for a system builder — someone who:

  • sees the business as an interconnected system, not a collection of isolated tasks
  • can design and implement an operational model in a market that's still taking shape
  • knows how to localize tools, processes, and standards — not just copy-paste them
  • understands that operations exist to drive revenue, not just maintain order
  • thrives in an autonomous, high-ownership environment

You'll be a strong fit if you:

  • have hands-on experience in operations management — as an Operations Manager, COO, or Operations Lead
  • are based in Poland with solid knowledge of the local market
  • are fluent in Polish, English, and Ukrainian
  • have a track record of building or overhauling operational processes
  • can operate independently, take full ownership, and deliver on commitments without follow-up
  • understand how CRM, ERP, and business systems work at the process level — not just as a user
  • can customize and adapt tools to local market needs rather than defaulting to the status quo
  • are data-driven: you can build reporting structures from scratch, create clear dashboards, and translate numbers into decisions
  • are comfortable managing cross-functional collaboration and keeping teams aligned
  • bring strategic thinking alongside operational rigor — you see risks, opportunities, and growth levers
  • understand that your work directly moves the business forward, not just keeps it running

Nice to have:

  • prior experience scaling or entering the Polish market
  • background in systems integration or process automation
  • hands-on experience with Notion, Miro, Looker, or similar tools
  • experience with NetHunt and / or Odoo
  • understanding of logistics and supply chain operations
  • familiarity with Polish tax and legal requirements
  • experience working with B2B contracts and commercial documentation

Key responsibilities:

▪️ Revenue-oriented operations

  • Own the operational budget for the Polish office — track costs, monitor cash flow, and ensure spending aligns with business targets
  • Support the sales function end-to-end: coordinate samples, materials, proposals, and deal logistics

▪️ Building and scaling the Polish office

  • Localize the company's operational playbook for the Polish market — adapt processes, client-facing standards, and supplier relationships to fit local context
  • Keep the Polish office and Ukrainian HQ in sync — clear communication, shared priorities, no operational blind spots

▪️ CRM / ERP / Knowledge base

  • Configure and adapt the company's tech stack for the Polish market
  • Drive automation and process improvements that create real efficiency gains
  • Build a reporting infrastructure: dashboards and recurring reports that give leadership visibility into what matters

▪️ Cost optimization and operational efficiency

  • Identify and eliminate waste — in processes, logistics, and supplier costs
  • Optimize warehouse and logistics operations; negotiate better terms with partners
  • Define and track key performance metrics; develop clear improvement plans

▪️ Team leadership and development

  • Own the team-building process: hiring, onboarding, and ongoing development
  • Set clear goals, hold the team accountable, provide regular feedback, and keep everyone focused on outcomes
  • Build a structured rhythm of check-ins, reporting, and performance reviews — so issues surface early and decisions are grounded in data

What we expect in the first 90 days

  • A clear, metrics-backed assessment of current operations — no vague impressions
  • Top operational issues identified and quantified by their impact on margin, speed, and cost
  • First quick wins shipped and measurable
  • End-to-end operational model documented: ownership, order flow, scaling risks
  • A live dashboard in use — not just built, but actively driving decisions
  • A working understanding of unit economics: cost per order, where the money goes
  • At least one automation or process optimization initiative underway
  • A 6–12 month operational roadmap with clear priorities

Work setup:

  • Based in Poland (in-person presence required)
  • Full-time
  • Remote-first team
  • Quarterly on-sites in Warsaw: workshops, strategy sessions, team meetings

Why this role:

  • Real strategic impact. This isn't a support function — it's a seat at the table. You'll shape how the business operates and scales across Europe.
  • A proven playbook to build on. You're not starting from zero. The model works in Ukraine — your job is to make it work here.
  • A clear path to VP Operations Europe. The foundation you build today is the infrastructure you'll lead tomorrow.
  • Performance-linked compensation. Regular salary reviews tied to results and KPIs.
  • Investment in your growth. Covered or co-funded professional development, plus a mentorship program with senior operators from SaaS, eCommerce, and strategy.
  • Perks and bonuses. Internal bonus system, partner discounts, and company gifts.
  • International exposure. You represent the brand in the region — with the travel budget and support to match.
