Business Operations Manager | Software Technology

You connect our people, our clients and our business. By bringing structure to staffing, supporting successful project delivery and keeping our operations running smoothly, you help our consultants thrive and our business move forward.

How can you drive the change?

At Xebia Software Technology, we help organisations solve complex challenges through technology. Our consultants work on exciting projects, ranging from modern software development to cloud and AI-driven solutions. Behind every successful project is an organised consultancy business. That's where you come in!
As our Business Operations Manager, you'll play a central role in the day-to-day operations of our business. You're the operational link between Sales and Project Management, working closely with our Sales colleagues and People & Ops Lead to ensure our consultants get off to a great start, feel supported throughout their assignments and that our clients get what they need.
You're a true hands-on operator: you think along, but aren't afraid to roll up your sleeves and get things done. From coordinating onboarding and solving day-to-day operational challenges to planning our Academy training programs, you'll keep things moving. You’ll have plenty of room to take ownership, improve processes and turn ideas into action.
