The Role

We’re seeking an exceptional Head of Operations to further enhance the structure, pace, and rigour to how Hexis operates as a team. You’ll be joining a fast-moving, multi-disciplinary team of engineers, designers, performance scientists and commercial roles at a critical inflection point in the company’s growth. This is a hands-on, cross-functional role that blends operational leadership, project management, and team performance with a supporting element of people and HR operations. If you thrive in ambiguity, love building systems, and want to directly shape how a high-growth company scales, this is the role for you.

Key Responsibilities

Operations, Project Management & Stakeholder Communications

• Own and drive internal project management across product, commercial, and operational workstreams, ensuring milestones are met and priorities are clear.
• Design and implement lightweight, effective operational processes and workflows that scale with the business without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.
• Coordinate cross-functionally between engineering, product, sales, and leadership to ensure alignment on priorities, timelines, and deliverables.
• Manage sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives, and other delivery cadences in collaboration with the engineering and product teams.
• Track and report on key operational metrics and KPIs, providing the CEO with clear visibility of progress, risks, and blockers.
• Support investor communications, reporting, and preparation of materials as needed.
• Identify operational bottlenecks and inefficiencies, proposing and implementing solutions that improve speed and output quality.

Team Performance & Culture

• Champion and embed Hexis’ values of continuous improvement, collaboration, and innovation across the team’s day-to-day working practices.
• Implement and manage performance frameworks including goal-setting, regular check-ins, and feedback loops that drive accountability and development.
• Support the CEO in building a high-performance culture where every team member understands their role, their impact, and their growth trajectory.
• Facilitate team retrospectives and process improvement sessions, ensuring lessons are captured and actioned.
• Monitor team engagement and wellbeing, proactively identifying and addressing issues before they affect performance or retention.
• Continuously review and refine the systems, tools and rituals that make remote work effective

People & HR Operations

• Manage core HR processes including contracts, onboarding, offboarding, leave management, and compliance with Irish and UK employment law.
• Coordinate recruitment activities in partnership with hiring managers: job postings, candidate pipeline management, interview scheduling, and offer processes.
• Maintain employee records, HR documentation, and policies, ensuring they are up to date, compliant, and fit for a growing startup.
• Support the development of a compelling employer brand and employee value proposition that helps Hexis attract top talent in a competitive market.
• Act as a trusted point of contact for the team on people-related matters, handling queries and issues with discretion and professionalism.

Requirements

Core Requirements

• 3–6 years of experience in operations, human resources, project management, or a chief of staff-type role, ideally within a startup or high-growth technology environment.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously with competing priorities and tight timelines.
• Strong understanding of agile delivery methodologies and experience working closely with engineering and product teams.
• Practical HR knowledge or experience, particularly around employment contracts, onboarding, and compliance within Irish and UK jurisdictions.
• Experience managing stakeholder communications in a professional setting.

Leadership & Working Style

• Exceptional organisational skills with a bias for action — you see what needs doing and you do it.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building processes from scratch; you thrive in environments where the playbook hasn’t been written yet.
• Collaborative approach with a track record of working effectively across functions in a small team.

Bonus Points

• A genuine interest in health, human performance, and/or sports technology.
• Previous experience in a startup or scale-up environment where you wore multiple hats.
• Experience supporting fundraising processes or working within a venture-backed company.

Salary

Competitive, depending on experience, plus share options.
