SAEKI - Autonomous factories for the free world SAEKI builds autonomous factories for the free world. Born in Switzerland and scaling from our factory in Munich, we deliver the most demanding mission-critical parts at a speed and volume traditional suppliers cannot match. Our software learns from every part we make and carries that knowledge into every machine and every factory we add. We are building the industrial base that ensures the free world outbuilds any rival.You run your own projects end to end while we scale Factory ONE: preparing a financing round, building a process that does not exist yet, opening a new market or partnership. You work directly with our CEO and Chief of Staff, own the outcome of your workstreams and are trusted to make decisions, not just work through a to-do list.You build the company that builds the factories. The Role Operations. You own workstreams across HR, finance, logistics and compliance: running onboarding for new hires, setting up processes in our ERP, managing suppliers and the logistics that move equipment into Factory ONE.Strategic projects. You drive pieces around financing, expansion planning and partnerships: building the models, preparing materials, assessing markets and grants. You start with clearly scoped projects and take on bigger ones as you prove yourself.Process building. Where no process exists, you build one. You document how things work so the next hire can run it without you.Gap-filling. You spot the tasks nobody owns and pick them up. You fix the problem first, then report it.
