DatHost is a bootstrapped, profitable game server host (~€3M ARR, doubling YoY) powering CS2, Minecraft, Valheim and more. We’re a tiny, high-ownership team of 5 that loves staying lean, focused, and fast. We’re at an inflection point with revenue-generated capital to deploy—and we’re hiring a Head of Operations to run the company day-to-day.

Why this role

You’ll be in the driver’s seat: align with the CEO/founders on strategy, goals, and guardrails—then own execution across the business. All functions and people report to you. It’s a founder-driven company, so you’ll balance real autonomy with regular founder-alignment to keep culture and direction tight. It’s a role for people who like to stay focused on the things that matter, building a great team, delivering a great experience for customers and growing revenue, in that order.

What you’ll do

• People & culture: 1:1s, performance feedback, career growth plans, remote rituals/meetups; make DatHost a place people love to work.

• Hiring & leveling: Own hiring, promotions, comp reviews; keep the bar high.

• Plan & prioritize: Set strategy for our gameserver business; choose the few bets that matter.

• Project management: Create clarity, cadence, and accountability so projects ship on time—without heavy process.

• Hands-on execution (~50% time): Jump into whatever moves the needle (content, support, hiring, supplier negotiations, etc.), then systematize it. This isn’t a role where you sit and wait for things from your reports. You get your hands dirty, and it’s not always glamorous work.

What success looks like (6–12 months)

• Goals are clear across the org and collaboration is going smoothly.

• A few high-impact people are hired and thriving.

• Growth rates are increasing.

• High ownership and individual freedom culture is maintained.

You’ll thrive here if you…

• Value transparency, growth mindset, and true ownership; you take initiative and get things done.

• Are a people-first coach who sets a high bar, gives candid feedback, and builds trust.

• Are a sharp project driver who creates accountability and isn’t afraid to say, “We’re overdue—what’s blocking us?”

• Prefer lean execution over theory; keep metrics close to revenue; don’t get distracted by things that don’t matter at our stage.

• Trust people to do great work, give them freedom to explore ideas/grow and get out of their way.

• Are humble about being the founders’ right hand—valuing partnership over ego

Nice-to-have: Gaming background or product-vision chops. Creativity is a huge plus.

The package

• €62k–€78k annual salary + equity.

• Remote, Europe-only. High trust, flexible schedule.

• Growth path to true company-builder scope as we scale.
