Posted yesterday

Worldwide

Summary

We're a German digital health company building remote patient monitoring software used by clinics and physicians across the DACH region. We're looking for an operations assistant to take recurring work off the founders' plate — starting part-time, with real room to grow. What you'd actually be doing This is a generalist role, so the mix will shift. Expect a blend of: Operations: Document handling, keeping internal processes and trackers current, coordinating with partners and suppliers Marketing support: preparing and scheduling content, maintaining our CRM, light copy in German and English, coordinating with freelancers and agencies Business development: researching clinics, practices and potential partners; building and maintaining prospect lists; drafting and sending first-touch outreach in German; tracking responses and following up You won't do all of this in week one. We'll start with the operations work and add the rest as we build trust. What we're looking for Fluent or native German — you'll write emails a German physician will read, so this is non-negotiable Strong English (we work in both) 2+ years in operations, executive support, or a similar generalist role Comfortable with modern tools — CRM, project management, spreadsheets, and AI tools. We use them daily and expect you to. Genuinely proactive. The best version of this role is someone who notices a broken process and fixes it before being asked. Reliable overlap with European business hours Nice to have Healthcare, medtech or regulated-industry experience Experience supporting a small, fast-moving team rather than a large company Any B2B outreach or sales support background The details 10–20 hours per week to start, with a path to more Long-term (6+ months); we're looking for someone who stays
