App Operations Manager

Seek a new challenge in an autonomous position where your structured thinking directly influences outcomes. Arise is a globally active weight-loss app with over 8 million downloads and a 4.7 rating on the App Store. Join us to drive our mission—empowering users to become healthier and happier—and help Arise become a leader in Health & Fitness. If you excel in systems, execution, and making a tangible difference with minimal oversight, this role is built for you.

Tasks

• Take ownership of company operations and deliver results that are reliable and measurable.
• Design and improve processes to ensure the business runs smoothly.
• Organize daily workflows, ensuring smooth operations and eliminating friction.
• Lead projects across feature development and marketing with precision and impact.
• Manage freelancers effectively—clear expectations, timely delivery, and quality outcomes.
• Oversee Support operations, ensuring consistent standards and swift issue resolution.
• Conduct regular quality audits and initiate enhancements where necessary.
• Ensure legal and data protection compliance—no loose ends.
• Own the product roadmap: define, execute, and track milestones.
• Translate business goals into technical specifications and maintain transparency with UX/UI, Dev, Marketing, and Leadership.
• Analyze market data and competition, deriving actionable insights.
• Drive backlog planning, prioritization, and feature rollout—on time, always.
• Streamline deployment, QA, support, and documentation with documented SOPs.
• Monitor operational KPIs, identify risks, and course correct quickly.
• Leverage automation tools for repeatable, reliable operations.
• Maintain dashboards and present crisp, data-backed reports to stakeholders.
• Design and execute A/B tests to validate improvements.
• Coordinate release strategy, bug triage, and ensure OS compatibility.
• Support monetization strategies and explore retention or acquisition opportunities.

We’re looking for someone with:

• At least 2 years in operations or product management (experience in apps an advantage).
• Preferably a business or management bachelor’s degree.
• Excellent command of English—German or Russian a plus.
• Methodical, precise, and results-oriented in your approach.

We’re a great match if you:

• Like making things run smoothly—think well-oiled machine.
• Prefer action over layers of delegation—rather than organizing, you do.
• Seek results fast and reliably—“meetings that should have been emails” are your enemy.
• Are inherently structured, organized, and crystal-clear under pressure.
• Thrive in fast-moving, autonomous roles.

Benefits

• High-impact role with clear deliverables and visible results.
• Flat hierarchy, direct collaboration with the CEO.
• Remote-friendly and flexible scheduling.
• Join a proven, stable organization with solid Health & Fitness roots.
• Paid leave and minimal bureaucracy.
