- NetherlandsPostal Code
- 1062Stream HPC is a software development company in parallel software for many-core processors, GPUs and special purpose processors, which are often mathematical libraries and scientific software. A popular term for our niche is Big Compute, as the side-kick of Big Data.

We provide professional software development services, training and consulting to help you increase compute performance in software while lowering hardware-costs. We build the world's fastest computer engines, believe us. Our company has two promises. To our customers: you get high performing software. To our employees: you don't get bored.

Your role will be to make sure everyone knows what to do. Thanks to your efforts, no one (inside and outside) is bothered by organizational mess or hassle. You know how to connect people, processes and systems. You love leading people and are comfortable being the go-to-person. The ultimate result of your efforts is that teams and individuals are inspired to work together as one, all of them with their own focus.

**Main responsibilities & activities**
- Identify and improve key processes: making them run smoothly
- Install a working “management operating system” for the international organization
- Stimulate and harmonize collaborations cross functionally between teams and team members
- Identify and clarify the right metrics (incl. KPI’s) that ensure further growth
- Build a winning culture with people that love to come work
- Help team members take full accountability for their role and turn them into the leaders they can be
- Design and manage a future-proof organizational structure and way of working, based on the principles of holacracy
- Solve day-to-day problems, identify the source and fix it
- Challenge the founder in terms of where his time and energy are best spent

**Main results (first year)**
- The team is happy, works as one and takes full responsibility
- Metrics for every team, monitored and continuously improving
- Clear 1 year roadmap and focus for the organization as a whole and for each team (projects, priorities, metrics)
- Founder is more focussed on key projects and initiatives to help the company grow further
- Ultimately, the self-organizing capacity of the team and organization is so high that you are not needed (that much)

Goals are further quantified in the first 3 months you’re with us and also depend on your observations and the focus we need at that time.

**Core competencies**
- DECISIVENESS: the ability to make active decisions or to commit oneself by speaking one’s mind and taking position.
- DEVELOPING OTHERS: the ability to understand the needs, interests, strengths, and weaknesses of others. And to utilize this information for contributing to the growth and development of others.
- LEADERSHIP OF GROUPS: the ability to provide direction and guidance to a group of people and to encourage cooperation between team members in order to attain an objective.
- PROBLEM ANALYSIS: the ability to detect problems, recognize important information, and link various data; to trace potential causes and look for relevant details.
- PLANNING AND ORGANIZING: the ability to determine goals and priorities and to assess the actions, time and resources needed to achieve those goals.
- VERBAL EXPRESSION: the ability to communicate in clear language and to adjust one’s use of language to the audience’s level.

**Skills and experience**
- Perfectly comfortable using English in a professional setting
- Prior experience in an end-to-end responsibility, for instance as Managing Director, COO or Chief of Staff
- You know the laws of a software company like ours and what it takes to grow such a business: there’s a lot of ‘blue’ energy at Stream HPC and you know how to handle this

**Core Values**

The A-player for this job doesn’t just fit the requirements mentioned above. The right person for the job also fits seamlessly with our core values:

- Thinking before acting: think ahead, focus on analyzing and solve problems step by step.
- Respectful collaboration: collaborate respectfully and be open to learning from others.
- Take responsibility: Take responsibility for your work and its results.
- Focus on the customer: Understand what users need and then work to make things better for them. The customer can be a colleague, a department, or the company itself.
- Respect others: Respect the time and energy of your colleagues, and keep the ownership until fully transferred.
- Confident, but Humble: Feel good about your abilities, but remain humble and open to learning.
- Be the teacher and the student: Keep learning and trying to get better at what you do while sharing what you know with others.

We operate remotely, and from our Amsterdam and Budapest offices.

We seek somebody who fits the team on a personal level and wants to enable
