Operations Manager
- Remote
- Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Grip
Job description
The Mission
Grip enables global brands to operate high-volume, multi-market content production through automation, standardized workflows, and Digital Twin technology. As enterprise complexity increases across clients, regions, and production streams, operational control becomes a structural advantage.
The Operations Manager ensures delivery remains predictable, margins remain protected, and execution scales without operational drag. This role connects commercial ambition to delivery reality. You are the operational control tower across the Vertical — designing the systems, governance, and delegation structure that allow teams to execute at scale without constant executive intervention.
This is not an execution-heavy coordination role. It is a performance architecture and accountability role.

Why Join Grip?
The Enterprise Shift.
Global brands are restructuring how they produce and localize content across markets. Grip provides the operational and technological backbone that enables high-volume, variant-rich content production with consistency and control. The operational models we build now define how far and how fast we scale.
The Operational Leverage.
This role influences how delivery scales globally. The frameworks you design will shape how Grip executes for years. You are not maintaining operations — you are defining the next version of it.
The Strategic Exposure.
You operate directly with vertical leadership and influence how revenue, capacity, and production intersect. This is proximity to decision-making, not distance from it.
