Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • Serve as the central coordination point for business operations in a fast-paced deep-tech startup focused on UAV situational awareness for military applications.
- • Act as the primary point of contact for procurement of critical hardware components, including scouting suppliers on platforms like Alibaba, requesting quotes, validating technical specifications and minimum order quantities (MOQs), and comparing vendors on price, lead time, and reliability.
- • Manage end-to-end procurement processes: place orders, track shipments, update estimated times of arrival (ETAs), and maintain a centralized procurement tracker to ensure team visibility on incoming hardware.
- • Align procurement timelines directly with pilot project and customer delivery commitments, proactively identifying and escalating potential bottlenecks before they impact deadlines.
- • Coordinate the hiring pipeline by reviewing candidate profiles, maintaining an up-to-date hiring database, chasing timely feedback from interview panels, and organizing interview logistics including agendas, reminders, and follow-ups.
- • Develop and document lightweight operational workflows to improve efficiency, reduce ambiguity, and establish clear ownership, timelines, and next actions across key processes.
- • Function as a lightweight project manager for operational tasks, tracking progress, following up with internal stakeholders, and ensuring no deliverables fall through the cracks.
- • Optimize existing operational systems within the first 6–8 weeks, including implementing a standardized procurement tracker with status, owners, lead times, ETAs, and next actions.
- • Ensure timely placement of orders for pilot and customer hardware with proactive risk escalation when delivery timelines are at risk.
- • Improve hiring pipeline efficiency by reducing candidate feedback turnaround times and eliminating stalled applications.
- • Establish clear visibility and accountability across all operational workflows, eliminating ambiguity around “who does what by when.”
- • Demonstrate initiative by proactively following up with stakeholders rather than waiting for updates, and taking ownership of timelines and deliverables.
- • Contribute to scaling the organization by turning chaotic processes into structured, repeatable systems that support growth in a high-innovation environment.
- • Gain firsthand exposure to the behind-the-scenes operations of a deep-tech startup working closely with engineers, project managers, and the Chief Operating Officer.
- • Work within the Aerospace Innovation Hub on the TU Delft campus, collaborating with top-tier partners including government agencies, prime contractors, and academic research institutes.
🎯 Requirements
- • Currently studying Business Administration, Operations, Finance, Innovation Management, or a related field.
- • Strong organizational and communication skills with a preference for structured, clear processes.
- • Proactive, hands-on attitude with initiative and ownership over tasks and timelines.
- • Comfortable working with spreadsheets, reports, and documents.
- • Fluent in English; Dutch is a plus.
- • Strong sense of ownership over deliverables and a natural tendency to follow up and close loops.
🏖️ Benefits
- • 750 euro monthly compensation.
- • 10 vacation days during the 6-month internship period.
- • Really flexible working hours.
- • Real exposure to behind-the-scenes operations in a high-innovation deep-tech startup environment.
- • Responsibility over key operational systems and deliverables.
