O My Bag zoekt Head of Finance & Operations
At O My Bag, we’re building the foundation for our next growth phase. To help us scale smarter, we’re looking for a strategic and hands-on Head of Finance & Operations who will act as the glue between our people, priorities, and processes.
This is a key leadership role for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, loves to solve, and brings structure without slowing things down. You’ll lead the Finance & Operations team and take on a broader Amsterdam Lead role, making sure our HQ runs smoothly, team priorities stay sharp, and the leadership team performs at its best.
About the job
Your mission: build and lead a strong operational and financial backbone that supports our local and international growth. You’ll ensure clarity, structure, and accountability across the business, enabling smarter decisions, better collaboration, and a smooth daily operation.
First-Year Priorities
- Embed the Data Dashboards across teams to drive real-time, data-informed decisions.
- Identify and drive cost savings through improved processes and vendor negotiations.
- Strengthen leadership routines: drive meeting rhythm, accountability, and follow-up.
- Act as the Amsterdam Lead – from keeping day-to-day priorities clear to being the go-to for problem-solving and team flow.
Your Responsibilities
Finance & Business Planning:
- Oversee budgeting, forecasting, cash flow and financial reporting.
- Manage relationships with our accountant, banks, controller, and financial partners.
- Lead strategic financial planning and scenario thinking for our international scale-up.
- Monitor profitability, margins, and cost-saving opportunities.
Operations & Tech:
- Lead daily operations across logistics, legal, HR, customer service, IT, and office management.
- Own and optimize our systems and processes — from back-office tools to everything that keeps our online store running smoothly.
- Drive digital transformation and ensure our operational tech is future-proof.
- Lead key ops projects (e.g. US returns, local warehousing, operational KPIs).
- Drive the smart use of AI across all teams, actively exploring how it can enhance our work and future growth.
Amsterdam Lead & Team Accountability:
- Moderate leadership meetings and ensure focus, cadence, and clear follow-up.
- Keep goals and priorities on track, flag issues early, and help resolve them.
- Guard accountability across the team – from follow-up to clear ownership.
- Partner with our Head of People on team culture and leadership behaviours.
- Support managers in strong communication, decision-making, and feedback.
Dit is wie je bent

- Strong financial skills and confidence in forecasting, cash flow, and legal topics.
- Excellent project management and process improvement skills.
- Tech-savvy (Shopify, analytics, ERP, and digital tools).
- Known for clarity, structure, and a practical hands-on leadership style.
- Thrives in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment.
- Fluent in Dutch and English.
- Based within commuting distance of Amsterdam and happy to be working from the office.
