Vacancy Description:

Muse Group empowers music makers. We create the world’s most popular apps for playing, recording and composing music. Through our innovative learning tools, expansive music catalogs and free open-source software, we make it easier for millions — from beginners to experienced musicians — to be creative every day.

Our talented team of music lovers collaborates all over the globe, from Limassol to Seoul and Boston to Berlin. We’re an ambitious company with the drive and culture of a startup, with many more exciting Muse Group developments to come.

We are looking for a Head of Operations & Transformation who will execute the company’s Operations, strengthen cross functions alignment, elevate execution of the cross and strat projects and implement/develop the Company's processes and approaches.

You will work closely with the Executive Team to design and enforce the systems, rituals, processes, and rhythms that enable the company to be efficient and to scale.

This is a highly cross-functional role that requires strong collaboration skills - especially with the executive team, also business value thinking, execution, data driven decision making and the ability to drive cultural and structural change. The main stakeholders of the role are the executive team members.

This is not a “pure vision” or advisory role. This is a hands on role: facilitating planning cycles, running rituals, building structure, coordinating leaders, managing and implementing projects, and making sure things get done.

What’s in it for you?

  • Radical Ownership - Own the company’s operating system end to end—processes, rituals, and execution. You’re accountable for outcomes, empowered to fix what’s broken, and trusted to build systems that scale.
  • Global Impact - Shape how the company operates across regions and time zones. Your work aligns teams worldwide and directly impacts the business at a global scale.
  • High Autonomy - Build from first principles with real decision-making authority. Choose the tools, set the cadence, and drive transformation with minimal bureaucracy and full leadership trust.
