About the Role

We're looking for an Operations Lead to own and improve the day-to-day business operations at Nen Creative.

We work closely with founders and fast-growing tech companies, and we operate with the same speed and ambition ourselves. This is a hands-on role spanning finance, contracts, people operations, and internal systems.

People Operations & Administration: Manage employee and contractor onboarding and offboarding, documentation, policies, and vendor management.

Systems & Process Improvement: Build and improve internal workflows, reporting dashboards, and operational systems. Identify inefficiencies, automate repetitive tasks, and proactively implement solutions that help the company scale.

  • 3–5 years of experience in business operations, finance operations, or similar roles. Experience at a fast-growing startup is a major plus.

  • Thrives in a fast-paced, demanding environment. This isn't a traditional 9-to-5 role. We're looking for someone who is highly driven, adaptable, and willing to go above and beyond when needed.

  • Actively keeps up with AI tools, with an eagerness to leverage AI and automation to improve workflows and productivity.

  • Excellent communication skills, sound judgment, and the ability to work independently with leadership, employees, clients, and vendors.
