Job Description

The Mission: Turning a Global Growth Sprint into a Scalable Tech Powerhouse.

In the last 36 months, applike group has transformed from a Hamburg-based team of 200 into a global force of nearly 500 colleagues across five continents, reaching Unicorn-status. We’ve built legal entities in record time and implemented foundational tools in Finance and HR. Now, we are entering our next evolution: Professionalization, Automation, and Global Integration.

We are looking for an analytically sharp, ownership-driven Senior Project & Process Manager to act as the strategic and implementation partner for our VPs of Finance and People. You aren’t just managing tasks; you are shaping the operating system of a global tech leader. You will have the mandate to challenge existing workflows, dismantle silos, and play a key role in building a unified global infrastructure.

About us:

applike group is one of Europe’s fastest-growing tech scale-ups, innovating at the crossroads of AdTech and Mobile Gaming. Powered by advanced AI and a world-class engineering team, we are the leading tech unicorn in the rewarded advertising industry.

We are home to four ventures revolutionizing mobile advertising, analytics, and mobile gaming worldwide:

  • adjoe – leading mobile ad platform

  • justDice – mobile gaming loyalty & reward platforms

  • justtrack – mobile tracking, analytics & UA steering

  • Sunday – hybrid-casual mobile games studio

Backed by media powerhouse Bertelsmann and operating from our headquarters in Hamburg and offices in Boston, Beijing, Singapore, Tokyo, and Sao Paulo, we are building the next era of AdTech. With soon 500 employees, we’re scaling fast and are in the middle of global expansion.

What you will do:

  • Global Process Architecture Strengthen our new international legal entities by unifying and professionalizing Central Function processes (Finance, HR, IT, and Legal) across 5 continents.

  • Automation & AI Integration Move beyond manual work. You will identify, analyze, and automate key workflows using AI-driven solutions and low-code tools (Zapier/Make) to ensure our group functions scale faster than our headcount.

  • End-to-End Strategic Projects Lead high-stakes initiatives from start to finish. One month, you might be implementing a globally unified ERP or HRIS system; the next, you are negotiating and organizing a new flagship office space in one of the cities we operate.

  • Compliance & Excellence Own the roadmap for operational maturity, including preparing the organization for successful audits and ISO certifications.

  • Bridge Strategy & Operations Act as the primary translator between C-level vision and technical execution, ensuring that our "Global Leading Tech Company" ambition is reflected in every internal workflow.

Who You Are:

  • The "Scale-Up" Architect: You have 3+ years of experience in high-growth environments, top-tier or operational consulting, or operational excellence roles where you’ve successfully led cross-functional E2E projects.

  • Analytical Powerhouse You hold a degree in Business, Economics, Business Informatics, or a similar field. You possess the rigor of a consultant but the "get-it-done" grit of an entrepreneur.

  • Global Mindset: You understand the complexity of operating across different time zones and jurisdictions. You know how to build a process that works as well in Singapore as it does in Hamburg (and equally understand when processes should not be harmonized).

  • Tech-First Thinker: You are obsessed with efficiency. You don't just document a problem; you automate the solution. Experience with modern SaaS stacks and AI implementation is a significant plus.

  • Communication & Presence You can navigate a global landscape with professional fluency in both German and English (C1 level required). You are comfortable presenting to the C-suite and negotiating with external vendors.

Fuel for the Journey: Benefits to Support Your Ambitions

  • Impact: You are joining at the pivotal moment between "scale-up" and "global leader." Your fingerprints will be on the foundation of the company.

  • Visibility: You work directly with the VPs of Finance and People, with high visibility to the Group Co-CEOs.

  • Development: We invest in your growth through feedback cycles and tailored development programs.

  • The Perks: A relocation bonus for your move to Hamburg, 30 days of vacation, 3 weeks of "Work from Anywhere," an in-house 24/7 gym, and a stunning HQ overlooking the Alster.

Our mission is to create an inspiring work environment for amazing people to achieve extraordinary things. Be part of it!
