What is the role?

EnduroSat is expanding its footprint across Europe, and our Toulouse entity is a key part of that growth - sitting right in the heart of France's aerospace ecosystem. We're looking for a Head of Operations to take full ownership of how the entity runs day to day: keeping the workflow smooth, the people supported, and the entity compliant and well-connected within the local business environment.
You'll be the person everyone turns to when something needs to get done- whether that's a facilities issue, a compliance question, cooperation with the local Unions or coordination between local teams and HQ. You'll represent EnduroSat locally, liaise with authorities and partners, and make sure the entity functions as a well-oiled, scalable operation.

Some of your daily tasks will include:

• Overseeing all operational activities of the Toulouse entity, ensuring smooth day-to-day functioning
• Work closely with the top management and the owner of the company
• Acting as the main point of contact with local authorities, institutions, and administrative bodies
• Coordinating with HQ and other entities to align local operations with company-wide standards
• Overseeing office facilities, vendors, and local administrative or logistical needs
• Identifying bottlenecks in workflows and implementing improvements to increase efficiency
• Supporting local hiring, onboarding, and day-to-day people operations in coordination with HR

What do we look for?

• Proven experience in an operations management, or general management role
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to juggle multiple priorities independently
• Comfort navigating local regulatory, administrative, and legal requirements in France
• Excellent communication skills in both French and English
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset with a hands-on approach to getting things done
• Ability to work autonomously while staying closely aligned with HQ

Personal skills

• Experience setting up or scaling operations for a foreign entity or subsidiary in France
• A genuine interest in space technology and the NewSpace industry
• Background in a manufacturing, engineering, aerospace, or deep-tech environment
