**We build software that helps companies along the food system get to Net Zero.**:
~31% of global GHG emissions originate from food-related activities. For the first time in history, climate performance has become an overall business performance indicator. Enterprises are mandated by regulatory bodies to disclose their climate performance, which leads to increasing pressure from investors, competitors, retailers, and consumers to _prevent and reduce_ their CO2e emissions. Over the next 10 years, companies have set ambitious reduction targets that need to be met. Enterprise software and new business processes can help.
We raised >€10m in funding in the first 2 years of our existence, we launched our enterprise product, signed and onboarded some of the largest F&B players in Europe, and put together what we believe is the best-suited early stage tech team in Europe. Will you be the next to join us?
**What you will work on**:
- Company building
- Support the leadership team in crafting and continuously communicating the **company strategy,** translating it into our weekly priorities and rituals.
- Set up **company-wide KPI systems** and cadence to keep the team accountable for weekly progress.
- Help us formalise our **“Operating Model”**: Decision-making principles, collaboration rituals, and key behaviors we want to cultivate and promote.
- Craft and implement our first **performance, career progression and compensation frameworks.**
- Build Root Global into a leading **employer brand** to attract and retain top talent.
- Business Operations
- Lead our **talent acquisition and people ops functions** and set up a reliable, repeatable system that works without you.
- Own our **financial model**: budgeting, forecasting, and ensuring financial stability.
- Manage **financial operations** incl. payments, invoicing, payroll and internal reporting.
- Prepare monthly **board updates** and investor reports to keep stakeholders aligned and engaged.
- Act with a full sense of accountability for **“all other topics”** that need to get done but there is no one dedicated in the company to execute on them.
**How we support you**:
**Some of our angel investors that will actively mentor you**
- You will be part of the extended leadership team and report directly to our founders, Maurice and Eric.
- Julian Collin, was the first chief of staff at Trade Republic and built up the Company Operating Model hand in hand with the founder and CEO. He now is responsible for the entire growth side of the business, valued at >€5bn.
- Alexander Argyros, built several companies from the ground up, including Moonfare where he led >200 people.
- David Lagarde, started as intern at Hive where he worked his way up to COO, building up and managing the operations side of the business.
**You might be really good at this if**:
- You worked on the Jobs-To-Be-Done described above and made your fair share of mistakes.
- You worked in and grew tech companies from ~30-200 people in a position close to the founders: chief of staff/ CEO office, operations, business development, etc.
- You have exceptional analytical skills and the respective toolkit to put it into action.
- You have the ability to use precise and accurate language to express ideas, avoiding vague or ambiguous terms.
- You can win the trust and influence people that are not your direct reports.
- You are highly reliable and can organise your work really well.
- You are looking to found your own company over the next 3-5 years.
**Hiring Process**:
Our ambition is to offer you an end-to-end experience that is fast and uncomplicated - **we aim to keep the end-to-end process to 10-15 working days**. We send you prep material for each step and maximise transparency at every step.
**Get mentored by world-class company builders**:
We decided on our cap table with a clear goal in mind**:Set our team up for success**. This is why we have selected a diverse group of food industry veterans, generalist company builders, and functional experts to join our journey from day 1. Beyond entrusting us with their capital, **our angel investors act as mentors and sparring partners for our early team members in their corresponding roles**. You will benefit from:
- A dedicated mentor with whom you will build your personal relationship
- Regular sparring sessions whenever you see fit
- Adhoc Q&A where needed
**Not looking for a new role but know someone who does?**:
