Operations Innovation Lead

Not too long ago, a man walked into our office with a guitar under his arm. He had written a song for Manometric - and for the first time in three years, he could play again. All thanks to a small, perfectly fitting hand brace.

That’s what we build. At Manometric, we design and produce custom orthoses using proprietary 3D scanning, smart software and scalable production - working directly with hospitals and clinics across the Netherlands and expanding into Germany. As we grow fast, operations become more complex: planning, production, logistics and clinical coordination must work as one system. That’s why we’re hiring an Operational Innovation Lead. Someone who can structure complexity and build the operational backbone for our next stage of scale.

As we scale, operational challenges shift from execution to architecture. The challenges you’ll work on are systemic: redesigning how Orthopaedic Technicians are deployed across locations through smarter planning logic, improving scalability of production and operations as volume grows, and redefining parts of the client journey by leveraging digital platforms and automation.

In this role, you translate daily operational friction into structural solutions. You observe, analyse and rebuild the systems behind planning, production and clinical coordination. Working closely with teams on the floor, you turn scale-up ambition into operational infrastructure that works in practice. You report directly to Sander (Head of Operations & former founder) and operate as part of the operations leadership team, while collaborating closely with the CTO, Head of R&D and founders.

Success after 12 months means we are able to scale significantly, potentially doubling in size, while maintaining strong operational excellence.
