Job description

Studocu was founded on the principle that equal access to study notes reduces inequality between students. Today, we make it easy for more than 45+ million students to share notes every month. The product was a rocket ship from day one and has shown strong product-market fit on every continent, making us a key player in the exploding EdTech space.


Ready to embark on an epic adventure? Studocu is on the lookout for a skilled Operations Manager to join our awesome Business & Operations department. As the fearless leader of a team of Operations specialists, you'll be the mastermind behind keeping our daily operations running like a well-oiled machine while we conquer the world with our ambitious expansion plans.

  • Researching and implementing automation/improvement opportunities in our operational flows.

  • Working hand-in-hand with the Core Operations Manager on structuring the department by leading ad-hoc strategic projects from end to end (ideation to execution, analysis and iterations).

  • Liaise with HR for all management and administrative topics related to your team.


Why you'll love it here:
  • You’ll fully own the KPIs and budget of a growing team.

  • You’ll scale and structure a hands-on multinational team.

  • There is a Core Operations Leader to guide you while you keep the autonomy to act on your ideas.

  • Being at the core of operations you are free to challenge the status quo and generate impactful change for the company.

  • You will be exposed to work with different functions all across the company.


Our process:

  1. Screening call with a recruiter.
  2. Interview your future manager and your future colleague.
