## About the role

We're hiring a Business Operations Manager to run the financial, commercial, legal and people operations behind QuestDB. You'll be the operational backbone of a small, fast-moving company selling to some of the most demanding buyers in the world.

## What they're looking for

- 4+ years in a business operations, finance operations or similar generalist role
- A generalist who gets things done: you can hold finance, commercial, legal and people workstreams in parallel, keep them all on deadline, and drive external accountants, advisers and counsel to deliver
- Working knowledge of finance and contracts: enough to maintain a cashflow model, read a set of accounts, review an Order Form or MSA and notice when something looks wrong. Judgement matters more than depth
- Fast learner on unfamiliar ground: new topics will land on your desk regularly, and you'll need to get up to speed quickly, work out what needs doing, and own the outcome
- Exceptional attention to detail and follow-through: the numbers, the contract wording and the filing deadlines all have to be right
