The Role Nebex is seeking a high‑velocity, highly capable Business Operations Manager to serve as a core execution engine across executive leadership, Business Development, and Global Operations.

Working closely with executives and commercial team members, this person will turn priorities and direction into high‑quality completed work. The ideal candidate is highly organized, resourceful, comfortable operating across functions, and able to execute effectively in a fast‑moving and often ambiguous environment. Commercial & Partnership Execution Support the COO, executives, Business Development, and Sales teams across priority customer, supplier, and partnership opportunities. Own follow‑up actions from commercial discussions and ensure next steps are completed. Coordinate the information, documentation, approvals, and internal resources required to move opportunities forward.

Support the evaluation, structuring, and execution of complex transactions alongside Legal, Finance, and Capital Markets.

Business & Executive Operations Support executive preparation, including board decks, investor and fundraising materials, and sovereign delegation briefings. Manage cross‑functional and special projects spanning commercial operations, capital markets, international expansion, and company scaling. Coordinate with Legal, Finance, Product, Operations, and other functions to obtain required inputs and drive deliverables to completion. Surface blockers and decisions requiring executive attention and ensure appropriate follow‑through. Support company OKRs, executive meeting cadences, and cross‑functional accountability.

Support additional operational priorities assigned by the COO and executive team.

Fast blocker resolution: Operational and cross‑functional blockers are identified, escalated, and resolved quickly. High‑quality execution: Work is completed accurately, reliably, and with strong ownership and follow‑through. Executive and commercial leverage: Business Development, Sales, and executive team members spend less time on internal coordination, information gathering, documentation, and administrative execution. What We’re Looking For Experience in business operations, commercial operations, strategy and operations, consulting, transaction support, business development support, chief of staff, or a related role. Exceptional organization, ownership, and follow‑through. Ability to take direction, understand the desired outcome, and independently determine the steps required to deliver it. Strong judgment and ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑moving environment. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Strong research, analytical, and presentation‑development capabilities. Experience preparing commercial or executive materials and working with documents such as proposals, NDAs, MOUs, LOIs, term sheets, or contracts.
