CEO Office BizOps Analyst

Help Build Europe's Hypersonic Capability
At Hypersonica, we’re redefining what’s possible in European defence technology. We exist to deliver speed, resilience, and technological independence at a pace that sets a new standard. We are a small, elite team working on problems that matter, and solving them fast.
As our BizOps Analyst you’re not stepping into a predefined role. You’re joining a talent dense environment where every individual shapes the direction of the company. Our philosophy is to hire a small number of exceptional people with broad, deep technical capability, strong judgement, and the ability to operate autonomously.
We hire for talent, not rigid boxes. This role represents a business need, but the way it evolves will be shaped by the individual. If you’ve achieved what others said was impossible, or you bring a unique combination of skills that doesn’t fit a traditional mould, we want to hear from you. The work you do here directly contributes to Europe’s technological independence.
As a Business Operations Analyst, you will drive both strategic and operational execution across Hypersonica. You will work cross‑functionally with leadership, engineering, programmes, public affairs, HR, IT, finance, and administrative functions to ensure smooth day‑to‑day operations and scalable internal processes.
This role is ideal for someone who is highly structured, hands‑on, and comfortable owning both analytical initiatives and essential operational tasks — including responsibilities typically handled by administrative support staff, such as scheduling, documentation, workflow coordination, and internal process organisation.
A core part of your work will be serving as project manager for Hypersonica’s AS9100 certification, ensuring documentation readiness, cross‑team alignment, and successful audit preparation. You will also lead the implementation of cross‑functional software tools, platforms, and operational workflows, helping to build the organisational backbone required for a fast‑scaling aerospace company.

What you'll do

Play a critical role in the AS9100 certification process, including documentation management, readiness tracking, and cross‑team alignment (with external support)

Manage the rollout and optimisation of internal software platforms and operational tools, collaborating closely with engineering, programmes, HR, IT, and finance.

Establish and maintain scalable processes for documentation, compliance, reporting, and internal communication.

Own hands‑on operational and administrative tasks essential to smooth company functioning — scheduling, preparing materials, maintaining internal documentation, organizing information, and supporting day‑to‑day coordination.

Support leadership through research, data gathering, follow‑ups, meeting preparation, and tactical execution.

Monitor, refine, and improve business processes, identifying inefficiencies and proposing data‑driven improvements across teams.

Contribute to internal reporting and KPI tracking, including preparation of materials for leadership and programme reviews.

Help build operational infrastructure as Hypersonica scales into manufacturing, certification, and expanded programme execution.

Who you are

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in business, engineering, or a related field.

1-2 years of experience in business operations, management consulting, programme coordination, or similar operational roles in fast‑paced environments.

Strong organisational skills with a willingness to reliably execute hands‑on administrative tasks as part of core responsibilities.

Project management experience—ideally within regulated, engineering‑heavy, or hardware environments.

Familiarity with quality, compliance, or certification frameworks is a plus

Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English; German proficiency is a plus.

A proactive, structured, and mission‑aligned mindset: you take ownership, work autonomously, and follow through.

Conviction for the company’s overall mission (please explain in your cover letter)

Proven track record of doing exceptional things that go beyond what others would do or expect (please describe an example from private or professional life in your cover letter).

What we offer

A mission driven environment with the opportunity to work on one of Europe’s most consequential defence challenges, with direct impact on sovereign capability and security.

Daily collaboration with top experts across engineering, operations, and defence, with real opportunity to learn from the best, contribute, and grow.

High ownership and autonomy; no time tracking, no micromanagement, just clear objectives and accountability for outcomes.

A fast paced environment where good ideas are implemented quickly, and feedback from test and flight drives real decisions.

A culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly.

Competitive compensation and real share options aligned to responsibility and impact, not tenure or hierarchy.

At Hypersonica, every hire raises the bar. We are deliberately small, intensely capable, and deeply mission-driven. If this role feels like a strong fit, or if you believe you bring something exceptional that goes beyond the description, we encourage you to apply.
Hypersonica is an equal-opportunity employer and assesses candidates solely on merit, capability, and potential.
You can apply directly to this role or reach out to Nathan Sweeney, Head of Talent. We review every application and aim to respond to all candidates within two weeks, whether the answer is yes or no.
