Head of Operations

Location: Athens

Reports to: CEO

Full-time | Cinobo

We’re looking for a senior Head of Operations to define and scale Cinobo’s global brand. You'll architect Cinobo’s international expansion by building the end-to-end operational model that powers streaming and distribution across new markets. Serve as the strategic connective tissue between Product, Growth, and Finance to translate complex strategy into cross-functional execution. This is a high-impact leadership role at one of the few European streaming companies to successfully scale internationally.

Why Cinobo?

Cinobo is the curated streaming destination where curation meets entertainment. We handpick independent and world-class cinema - stories that matter - making great cinema accessible and entertaining for everyone. In a streaming landscape dominated by algorithms and volume, Cinobo has taken a different path - and made it work. We’re an underdog that has achieved strong growth by breaking the notion that indie cinema is for few people. Cinobo is more than a platform. We entertain audiences through a curated platform of independent and world-class content, helping people discover stories that matter, expand perspectives, and spark conversation. Our mission extends beyond the screen: distributing films, preserving cinemas, and fostering a community that believes cinema can transform how people see themselves, each other, and the world.

Key Responsibilities:

- Build, own, and evolve Cinobo's end-to-end operational model across streaming, distribution, and international expansion. - Design scalable frameworks that make new market launches repeatable rather than reinvented. - Act as the connective tissue between Product, Engineering, Curation, Finance, Growth, and Local Market teams, driving alignment and execution across functions. - Own operational systems and workflows across content operations, partner management, billing, reporting, and internal processes. - Translate business and team needs into clear business and operational requirements for internal systems and tools. - Define scope, priorities, dependencies, and success criteria, owning trade-offs and sequencing, and providing clear direction. - Ensure systems reflect real-world workflows, edge cases, and operational constraints as the company scales. - Stay hands-on where needed, directly driving execution on ambiguous work, while building systems and ownership that eliminate the need for repeated manual intervention. - Hold ultimate accountability for delivering high-impact, cross-functional initiatives end-to-end—including new country launches, major partner integrations, and operational platform upgrades. - Ensure blockers are resolved, decisions are made, clear ownership and progress visibility are maintained, and outcomes are achieved without becoming a task-level bottleneck. - Drive retrospectives and continuous improvement after major initiatives. - Define and own operational KPIs and dashboards, ensuring a single source of truth across teams. -Partner closely with Finance on unit economics, budgeting, forecasting, and cost control by market and partner. -Use data to guide expansion prioritization, vendor decisions, hiring vs automation, and operational investments.

- Specific Qualifications:

- 6+ years in senior operations roles in tech, media, subscription or related businesses.

- Proven experience designing and scaling operational systems in a fast-growing, cross-functional environment.

- Strong ability to break down complex initiatives into executable workstreams and manage dependencies.

- Demonstrated experience writing business and operational requirements and translating them into clear direction for engineering teams.

- Solid financial and analytical understanding, including unit economics, budgeting, forecasting, and KPI-driven decision-making.

- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building structure as the company scales.

- Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
