Operations & Finance Manager (Chief of Staff)

SANVT makes premium essentials: better fits, better materials, made in Portugal and Spain, sold direct at sanvt.com worldwide (focus on central Europe). We're a small international team in Barcelona, Porto and Munich and a lot of momentum. WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS Our founder leads brand and growth. We need the person who makes the company run: turning decisions into owners, dates and results, and holding finance and people processes together. You start as Operations & Finance Manager (Chief of Staff), working side by side with the GM. WHAT YOU'LL OWN
- Operating rhythm: run our weekly and monthly cycle, follow up on commitments, and make sure blockers get solved, not parked.
- Finance: P&L, cash and budgets across both entities. Build the profitability layer: channel margins, LTV/CAC, and the profit and cash side of our 3-year plan. Work with our accountants and tax advisors.
- People & HR: hiring, onboarding, the performance review cycle, and HR tooling (Factorial).
- Strategic projects: business cases and execution for new channels (marketplaces, wholesale, retail tests) and the operational decisions that keep a growing brand healthy.
- Admin: take the company admin off the team's plate. WHAT YOU BRING
- 5–8 years of experience, including at least 2–3 years in an operating role at a start-up, scale-up or consumer (eCommerce) brand. You've built and run things yourself, not only advised on them.
- Strong with numbers: you can build a cash forecast and a channel P&L yourself.
- You enjoy follow-through, and you can hold people to commitments with calm firmness, without needing a title to do it.
- Experience managing people, or the ambition and maturity to do so soon.
- Fluent English. German is a strong plus (DACH is our home market); Spanish is a plus. HOW WE WORK We make essentials that get better every season. We hold our work to the same standard. 1. Hands on. We build, we don't just brief. Everyone does the work, including the founders. 2. Own it. If you see it, it's yours. Problems are raised early, with a proposal. 3. Can do. We find the way with what we have. "Not possible" is the start of the conversation, not the end. 4. Big picture, real world. Every idea has to work on Monday morning, with real numbers, real people and a real deadline. Strategy only counts once it ships. 5. Better every season. Like our products, our work is never finished. We test, learn and fix, without ego. 6. Work hard, celebrate properly. High standards and good company. When something lands, we notice it together.
