Job description
Operations Assistant
An Operations Assistant sits between a team assistant and an operations manager. You're not a specialist. You're a generalist who moves fast, picks up context quickly, and applies good judgment across whatever the operations team needs most right now.
You'll work directly with the operations team of one of the fastest-growing US-based AI energy infrastructure companies. One week you're coordinating interviews for a recruiting sprint. The next you're processing invoices, chasing supplier quotes, or keeping a sales pipeline clean before quarter close. No two weeks are the same.
We train you on the tools and workflows that run world-class companies, then place you inside a high-performance operations team that needs hands they can trust.
This is a launchpad. Operations Assistants at top startups go on to become operations managers, team leads, and specialists in recruiting, finance, or procurement. You won't be pushing tickets in a silo. You'll see how one of the world's most ambitious companies gets built from the inside.
What you'll own
Execute and close tasks delegated by the operations team. Fast, complete, no loose ends
Recruiting support: interview scheduling, candidate communication, pipeline upkeep
Finance support: invoice processing, expense tracking, payment preparation
Sales support: CRM hygiene, offer preparation, follow-up coordination
Procurement support: supplier research, quote comparisons, order tracking
Documentation and process builds that make the whole team faster
Whatever is the highest priority that week
Who this is for
Based in Portugal
A generalist. You don't need a defined lane to do great work
Sharp, driven, and honest. You flag problems early and always bring a solution
Strong written and spoken English; you communicate clearly and professionally
Curious about AI and how it's changing the way fast-moving companies operate
Comfortable with ambiguity. You make good calls with limited context and don't wait to be told
Recently graduated or early in your career and looking for the fastest path to real responsibility
What you get
Monthly fee between €2,000 and €3,000 depending on seniority, experience, and performance
Freelance contract (full-time engagement) with a long-term perspective and the option to convert to employment
Performance-based bonuses that can add up to 3 months' fees
Modern laptop/hardware provided by us
Specialized training in AI and LLM tools
Access to a community of automation engineers, designers, and senior operators
How we hire
Selection is rigorous. We hire for potential, judgment, and intellectual curiosity — not years of experience. If you're the kind of person who solves problems before they become problems, we want to hear from you.
