Operations Technology Manager (Berlin)

<h2>Operations Technology Manager (Berlin)</h2>
<p>Every is building the default way to eat better during the week.</p>
<p>We are a fast-growing food company operating both D2C subscriptions and B2B channels, currently across DACH and BNL, and growing rapidly 100% YoY. Our ambition is to keep scaling significantly in the coming years.</p>
<p>Operations is the engine that makes this possible. Right now it runs on a mix of spreadsheets, manual handoffs, and tools that haven't kept pace with our growth. We're building the team to fix that!</p>
<p>We're looking for an <strong>Operations Technology Manager</strong> to own and engineer the systems, integrations, and data infrastructure that make our Operations teams faster and smarter. This is a <strong>senior individual contributor role</strong>.<br>
You will own both the strategy and the execution: you decide what to build, and then you build it yourself.<br>
You come from an engineering or technical background, you understand how physical operations work, and you ship things — you don't just advise on them.</p>
<h2>What you'll own</h2>
<p><strong>The operations technology stack</strong> You are the technical owner of how Every's Operations teams — procurement, production, inventory, fulfillment, logistics — use technology day to day. From deciding what to buy, to engineering what doesn't exist off the shelf, to connecting systems that don't talk to each other.</p>
<p><strong>Systems &#x26; tooling</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Evaluating, selecting, and implementing off-the-shelf tools across the ops stack</li>
<li>Owning rollouts end-to-end: requirements, configuration, integration, and adoption</li>
<li>Engineering and maintaining advanced operational models</li>
<li>Acting as the internal product owner for ops tooling: manage backlog, prioritise ruthlessly, and ship improvements</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Integrations &#x26; data infrastructure</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Designing and building EDI integrations with external partners — e.g. fulfillment centers</li>
<li>Engineering data pipelines that eliminate manual data movement across systems</li>
<li>Owning data integrity across the ops landscape — one source of truth, always</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Analytics &#x26; financial reporting</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Building and owning the KPI and reporting infrastructure for all Operations functions</li>
<li>Engineering the financial bridge ops &#x3C;> finance with cost projections, actuals, variance tracking, COGS &#x26; CM2 reporting</li>
<li>Designing dashboards that teams actually use to make decisions, not just monitor numbers</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Automation &#x26; process engineering</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Systematically identifying manual, repetitive workflows across Operations and engineering solutions to eliminate them</li>
<li>Writing scripts and automations hands-on — Python, SQL, Apps Script — where off-the-shelf tools don't cover the gap</li>
<li>Building operational infrastructure that scales with volume without scaling headcount proportionally</li>
</ul>
<h2>What success looks like (12–24 months)</h2>
<ul>
<li>Operations teams spend less time on manual data work and more time on decisions</li>
<li>Every has a connected, coherent tool landscape — systems talk to each other, data is reliable</li>
<li>EDI integrations with key partners are live, stable, and require zero manual intervention</li>
<li>Finance and Operations work from the same numbers — projections and actuals are always aligned</li>
<li>A clear KPI framework exists across all ops functions, with dashboards that drive weekly decisions</li>
<li>Automation has measurably freed up time across ops teams — fewer manual tasks, more strategic work</li>
</ul>
<h2>What we're looking for</h2>
<ul>
<li>5–7 years in a technical role with strong Ops exposure — systems engineering, business systems, ops technology, or similar</li>
<li>A proven builder: you have shipped systems and integrations end-to-end, hands-on</li>
<li>Experience designing and managing EDI integrations with external operational partners</li>
<li>Strong scripting and automation skills — Python, SQL, Apps Script, or equivalent</li>
<li>Experience evaluating and implementing SaaS tools and owning rollouts across non-technical teams</li>
<li>Advanced spreadsheet engineering — you build infrastructure others depend on</li>
<li>Solid understanding of how supply chain operations work</li>
<li>Comfortable owning the link between operational data and financial reporting</li>
<li>Highly self-directed — you manage your own backlog, set priorities, and deliver without guidance</li>
<li>Experience working with or within an ERP/WMS environment a strong plus</li>
<li>Fluent in English (C2), German is a plus</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>If this sounds like your kind of challenge, please send us:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>CV / LinkedIn</li>
<li>3-5 bullets on a system or integration you built from scratch — the problem, what you built, what changed</li>
<li>and why Every</li>
</ul>
