The company develops products and solutions that help people and communities prepare for and respond to the health impacts of climate change, including its key product, Halla Health.

As Operations Manager, you will play a key role in making sure Scope works effectively as an organisation – from people and processes to resources and ways of working. You will lead the development of Scopes day-to-day operations, take ownership of the companys HR function, and work closely with teams across the organisation, both in Finland and internationally.

This is a broad and hands-on role where you will have the opportunity to shape how Scope operates as it develops and grows. You will identify areas for improvement, create structure where needed and turn ideas into practical ways of working.

At least 5 years of relevant professional experience in operations or a related role, ideally within a product or growth company

Strong HR expertise and experience independently managing and developing people-related processes

Experience in recruitment, onboarding and employee development

A track record of improving processes, systems and ways of working

Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage several priorities and workstreams simultaneously

A proactive and solution-oriented approach – you identify opportunities for improvement and take responsibility for moving them forward
