Entrepreneur in Residence (m/f/d)

About BEAT81

At BEAT81, we’re on a mission to revolutionize fitness by merging the best of technology, group training, and expert coaching. As a rapidly growing fitness-tech startup, we empower people across Europe—and soon the world—to Sweat Smarter Together. Through innovative HIIT & RIDE workouts, real-time heart rate monitoring, and gamification, we’re transforming the traditional fitness experience into something dynamic, personalized, and impactful.

We’re not just building a global leader in fitness and technology; we’re building a world-class team. At BEAT81, we value passion, potential, and the power of fresh perspectives.

We’re looking for an Entrepreneur in Residence (m/f/d) to join our Operational Excellence team as a hands-on generalist and operational problem solver. This isn’t a purely strategic or administrative role - it’s for someone who wants to work directly on the ground, fixing real problems and making things better in the places that matter most.

You’ll work closely with various stakeholders and leadership to drive cross-functional initiatives. Expect to take full ownership of tangible operational projects and make real improvements where they count—inside our gyms, with our coaches, and for our participants.

From identifying and resolving inefficiencies in real time to keeping coaches, FOH teams, and participants aligned, you’ll be the one turning ideas into action. You’ll also build dashboards and tools that help teams move faster and make smarter decisions.

This is a high-impact, sleeves-rolled-up role for someone who’s ready to create meaningful, measurable change—not just by planning it, but by doing it.

 

You will:

• Work closely with the leadership team to drive high-impact, cross-functional initiatives
• Identify and fix inefficiencies in gym operations in real time
• Own and execute operational projects end-to-end with on-the-ground follow-through
• Communicate clearly with coaches, FOH, and customers to ensure smooth execution
• Build dashboards and tools that support fast, informed decision-making

 

You have: 

• 2-3 years experience ideally within startups or operational roles
• Strong project and stakeholder management skills
• Comfort with complexity and the ability to thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments
• Confidence in working independently, managing multiple priorities and being hands-on
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
• A proactive, adaptable mindset and a strong drive to own initiatives.
