What We're Looking For
- Experience in startup, scale-up, or PE-backed environments

- Ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-paced environments
- Hands-on mindset with strong ownership and execution capability
- Fluent in Polish and English
- Based in Warsaw or able to work hybrid (no relocation support)
Strong Plus
- Experience with post-acquisition integration or buy-and-build models

- Strong understanding of KPIs, reporting, and business drivers
Why This Role Stands Out
- Operates at the core of value creation in a PE-backed platform

- Exposure to M&A, platform building, and multi-entity operations
- ~1% equity upside with long-term growth potential
- Strong pathway toward COO / platform leadership roles
If you're looking to build, not just manage — and want direct exposure to PE-backed scaling, this role offers a rare opportunity to operate at the core of value creation...
