bunch is building the backbone of private markets. We are enabling next-gen fund operations with one integrated system that combines secure data infrastructure, AI-powered workflows and expert fund services. If you value ownership, growth through real responsibility, and working with a thoughtful, ambitious team, this role might be for you.
As we scale following our Series B, across markets, acquisitions, and teams, we are launching a steady pipeline of strategic operational projects. We are looking for a Central Operations Manager to turn those initiatives into implemented reality.
You will take an initial idea or direction and shape it into an effective, executed plan, designing it as you go. The environment is complex and fast-moving, and projects are rarely fully defined at the outset. We need a sharp mind that can reduce a problem to its underlying assumptions and facts, together with the people skills and execution discipline to carry it through to adoption.
You will work at the intersection of strategic planning and operational excellence, partnering closely with our Operations domains and other teams to help teams operate consistently, scale effectively, and continuously improve. A major focus will be the operational integration of acquired companies into the bunch operating model.
You will work most closely with the Senior Central Ops & Integration Lead and VP Operations, who drive the conceptualisation and initiation of these initiatives. You will own the execution: shaping early-stage ideas into concrete plans and carrying them through to implementation.
Your role
Take operational excellence and integration initiatives from initial concept to implemented reality, shaping the plan as you go.
Translate an improvement plan into concrete milestones, owners, and decisions, and keep them progressing on your own initiative.
Drive operational integration workstreams from planning through execution and adoption as bunch grows through acquisitions.
Build the steering frameworks the operations teams run on, turning operational data into the metrics and targets that guide their decisions.
Use analytical assessment to identify where processes can be simplified, scaled, or de-risked, and drive those improvements through to completion with measurable impact.
Own bunch's central operational tooling, such as Asana and Front: set the standards for how it is used, run training, and drive its ongoing development.
Manage the relationships with these tooling vendors, from support and adoption through to roadmap and renewals.
Run several projects in parallel while keeping quality high across all of them.
About you
You bring 3+ years of experience in a fast-paced, high-performance environment such as management consulting, startups, or tech project management where you owned complex problems end to end.
You have exceptional analytical thinking. You reduce a problem to its core assumptions, facts, and constraints, and rebuild it into something simple enough that others immediately understand it and can act on it.
You are effective with people. You bring others with you toward an outcome, building trust and alignment across teams that do not report to you and driving genuine adoption of change.
You have excellent project management skills. You run multiple workstreams in parallel, keep them on track, and carry them through to implementation with limited oversight.
You are comfortable taking an initial idea or direction and shaping it into an effective, implemented plan, designing it as you go, in an environment that is complex and rarely fully defined at the outset.
You are highly structured and detail-oriented, and hold quality under tight timelines.
You are proactive and thrive in a fast-moving, high-growth environment where you are trusted with real ownership.
A background in private markets, fund administration, or financial services is a strong plus, though not a requirement, as long as you are keen to get up to speed on the industry bunch operates in.
You are fluent in English; German is a plus.
