Job Description

Deine Aufgaben

• Supply Chain- and Operations Planning: Own the full S&OP cycle — demand forecasting, capacity planning, inventory targeting, and rolling scenario planning for component lead-time risk (semiconductors, electronic assemblies). Lead key supplier relationships including dual-sourcing strategy.
• Operational Controlling: Own the KPI architecture (OTIF, COGS variance, gross margin per unit). Run a monthly performance review with data-backed root-cause analysis. Partner with Finance on budgeting, monthly close, and unit economics.
• Hardware & Regulatory Compliance: Govern technical product certification for our ICT/IoT devices across EU and selected non-EU markets. Steer the compliance roadmap for new geographies in lockstep with the product roadmap.
• Digitalization & Process Improvement: Support the Operations IT roadmap (MRP, Salesforce, Portal). Identify and remove waste across digital process flows. Drive automation and lead cross-functional change initiatives with measurable ROI.
• Team Leadership: Build, lead, and develop the operations team as we scale. Lead by example: hands-on, data-driven, and outcome-focused. 

Dein Profil

• 5+ years of relevant experience — ideally a deliberate mix of operations/supply-chain consulting and in-house execution at a hardware company.
• Deep S&OP expertise and a demonstrated track record of transforming a real supply chain — not just slideware about it. You can talk through SKUs, lead times, MOQs, and BOM levels from memory.
• Industry background in electronics, hardware, ICT/IoT, automotive components, or comparable physical-product environments. Pure software backgrounds will not qualify.
• Operational controlling fluency: you live in data and BI tooling and make decisions from numbers, not anecdotes.
• Hands-on familiarity with ICT/IoT hardware compliance (CE / RED / EMC as a baseline).
• Experience leading an ERP or operations-IT transformation (selection, implementation, or major upgrade) - not just as a stakeholder.
• Passion for using AI – you leverage technology to work faster, more accurately, and more efficiently.
• Proven people leadership: you have built and developed a team, not just managed a queue of individual contributors. 
• Fluent in English; working German is a strong plus. You default to action over deliberation, are intellectually honest, comfortable with ambiguity — a builder, not a maintainer, who rolls up their sleeves when the situation calls for it.
• Strong communication and presence, solution-oriented mindset, and a desire to work alongside colleagues in the office rather than alone at home.

Warum wir?

• A build-and-transform mandate: you take end-to-end ownership of AVILOO’s physical product flow and professionalize it for scale up.
• Short decision paths, direct access to leadership — your input counts from day one.
• Real budget and authority to upgrade the tooling stack (ERP, MRP, BI).
• A category-defining product in one of the most consequential markets of the decade: EV battery health and second-life economics.
• Use of cutting-edge tools and artificial intelligence for optimization.
• Reliable work-life balance – personally guaranteed by the CEO.
• A performance- and team-oriented work environment where success is celebrated together.
• The minimum salary for this position is € 3,954 gross/month in accordance with the Austrian IT Collective Agreement (full-time, 38.5h/week). Actual compensation is based on qualifications and experience and significantly exceeds the collective agreement minimum.
