Lead with purpose, striking the ultimate balance between dynamic pragmatism and streamlined processes to drive unparalleled operational excellence.

Ghent, BE

Full-time

👋 Hi there, we're Powernaut.

We are building the next generation power plant, powered by end-consumers, instead of the traditional large-scale power plants.

This one doesn't take fossil fuels or radioactive isotopes, but instead manages the renewable energy and flexible devices (cars, heat pumps, ...) of end-consumers to generate more or less energy.

The job

  • Do your friends call you a swiss army knife?

  • Does your family call you a swiss army knife?

  • Does your dog call you a swiss army knife?

If the answer to the first two questions is yes, then we should talk!

We're looking to expand our team with an Head of Operations, to help us maintain our business processes and find that sweet balance between pragmatism and process-oriented work.

On a day-to-day basis, you will work closely with the team to continuously perfect sales and marketing operations, analyse and optimise partner and client onboarding processes and streamline hiring, marketing and finance. Nothing you can't expect from a start-up at growth.
