The Role Halfdays is a women's ski and outdoor apparel brand built on a simple belief: you shouldn't have to choose between looking good and performing at your best. We started in the US and we're bringing that energy to Europe — and we're looking for the people who want to build it with us.
As our EU Operations Manager, you'll be one of our first hires in Europe. That means you have real ownership, real impact, and the chance to shape how we operate across the continent from day one. You'll report to our GM of Europe and work closely with our global ops team in the US, sitting at the intersection of logistics, e-commerce infrastructure, and cross-border complexity.
What you'll do
Own EU fulfillment operations end-to-end — 3PL relationships, carrier partnerships, last-mile delivery
Manage our Shopify backend for EU markets: product setup, inventory, shipping configurations, and order management
Handle customs compliance, VAT processes, and cross-border regulatory requirements
Maintain real-time inventory visibility and coordinate with our global demand planning team in the US
Build and document operational processes as we scale — you're writing the playbook, not following one
Manage EU customer service escalations and the systems that support them
Partner with the GM of Europe on anything operational that enables the business to move faster
Who you are
4–7 years of operations experience in DTC, e-commerce, or consumer apparel
Hands‑on Shopify experience — you know your way around the backend
Working knowledge of EU logistics, customs/VAT, and cross-border fulfillment
A builder mindset — you're energized by ambiguity, not slowed down by it
Strong communicator who's comfortable collaborating across time zones
Fluency in English required; German or another EU language a plus
How we work
Collaborative, fast‑paced, and deeply cross‑functional.
Perks + Benefits
Equity participation in a fast-growing brand
Brand perks, including free products each season!
LOCATION:
Zurich, Switzerland (preferred) or remote within EU
SALARY RANGE:
EUR 90,000‑120,000, depending on experience
