OUR GREENERY is redefining how fresh, nutritious food is produced and consumed.

By combining innovative technology with a deep understanding of natural systems, we have developed the Raumgarten - a revolutionary solution that enables local, sustainable, and highly efficient food production. Circularity, efficiency, simplicity, and functional design are the foundation of everything we build.

We believe that sustainable nutrition is one of the defining challenges of our generation. Our mission is to make healthy, fresh food accessible everywhere while fundamentally transforming the economics and environmental impact of food production.

Since launching our first products, we have successfully proven the concept, built a talented team, and established strong market traction. We are now entering the next phase of growth.

To support this next stage, we are looking for an experienced, pragmatic and hands-on Operations Manager.

Tasks

You will play a key role in building and scaling our hardware production. You will be responsible for the interface between product development, manufacturing, suppliers, purchasing, quality, inventory and management.

1. Strategic Management & Optimization

• Operational leadership, with a focus on production and supplier management

• Direct responsibility with decision-making authority at the highest level
• You will work closely with the founding team and management, ensuring short communication paths and fast decision-making.
