This is a hands-on, cross-functional role for someone who combines strong execution, technological curiosity, and the ability to turn loosely defined needs into practical processes, tools, and outcomes.

What You Will Do

- Develop practical use cases such as document generation, information retrieval, reporting, meeting follow-ups, data organisation, lead management, and internal knowledge sharing.

- Train and support team members in the effective and responsible use of AI tools, ensuring that new routines are adopted and maintained.

- Monitor the performance of implemented processes and automations, collect feedback, and continuously improve them.

- Coordinate cross-functional initiatives and ensure that critical actions, relationships, and company priorities are properly tracked.

- Prepare analyses, presentations, reports, and decision-support materials for the CEO and COO.

What We Are Looking For

- BSc or MSc in Engineering, Computer Science, Business, Economics, Management, or related fields.

- Up to 2 years of experience in a startup, consulting, operations, digital transformation, automation, or another fast-paced environment.

- Strong familiarity with generative AI tools and the ability to build practical AI-assisted workflows.

- Ability to analyse an existing process, identify inefficiencies, and translate them into clear operational improvements.

- Strong organisational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple cross-functional initiatives.





- Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work with both technical and non-technical teams.

- Proactive, hands-on, and highly autonomous approach to execution.

- Professional proficiency in English.

Nice to Have

- Experience building AI agents, prompt-based workflows, or automation using tools such as n8n, Make, Zapier, Microsoft Power Automate, or equivalent platforms.

- Familiarity with APIs, webhooks, databases, vector databases, and basic scripting in Python or JavaScript.

- Experience with CRM, project management, knowledge management, and collaboration platforms.

- Understanding data privacy, information security, and responsible AI use in a company environment.

- Previous experience in deep-tech, aerospace, defence, engineering, or another highly technical organisation.

- Experience supporting founders, senior executives, or cross-functional strategic projects.

Why ORiS

- Get direct exposure to how a pioneering company in space-based energy is built and run.
