[Hiring] Operations Associate @Aphex

Role Description

In Business Ops, we make the business run better, so every team can do its best work. We build solutions that scale, communicate in ways that land, and own what we touch. We're a small team of ambitious people who care about doing the work well, and this role is a big part of how we raise the bar.

Business Ops sits at the centre of how Aphex works. One week that might mean getting a new starter set up in a country we've never hired in before. The next, it could be rolling out a benefit across four countries, helping a team member relocate to a new entity, preparing for an ISO audit, or deciding whether a tool we rely on is still the right one.

No two weeks look the same, and very little of it comes with a manual.

You'll be handed outcomes, not task lists. From day one, you'll be trusted to take something on, work out what good looks like, and drive it to the finish. That means pulling in the right people, making the calls you're able to make, and keeping everyone in the loop along the way. You'll have context, support and someone to think things through with.

AI is part of how we work at Aphex. We expect everyone to use it to think, write, plan and analyse better. And we challenge the status quo by default, so you'll be expected to propose better ways of working and make them real, not wait for someone to ask.
