Work at an XAnge portfolio startup

You would join one of XAnge’s 80+ portfolio companies: fast-growing European tech startups building meaningful products across B2B SaaS, Healthtech, Fintech, Climatetech and beyond. These are scale-ups where operational excellence lets the company grow without breaking, with small, ambitious teams where ownership is real, decisions are fast, and your impact is visible from day one. Every company in the pool is backed by XAnge (Siparex Group) and surrounded by a community of 80+ founders and operators to lean on.

The team and why we need you

As COO or General Manager, you typically join a founder-led company that is scaling fast and needs an operational backbone across functions. You are the CEO’s right hand, turning strategy into execution across Sales, Ops, Finance, HR and Tech. You report directly to the CEO/founders and work with the full leadership team.

Why we need you: as the company grows, someone has to make the whole machine run and keep everyone aligned, and that is you.

Your goals as COO / General Manager

Your mission is to turn strategy into smooth, scalable execution. Typically, you will:

  1. Translate company strategy into execution: OKRs, KPI frameworks and operational processes across functions.

  2. Own P&L, budget management and financial reporting alongside the CEO.

  3. Lead cross-functional teams (Sales, Ops, Finance, HR, Tech) and keep them aligned and accountable.

  4. Support fundraising rounds (Series A, B or C) with the CEO and the board.
