Technical Operations Specialist (f/m/d)

Vienna Full-time Permanent employee Apply for this job What we build

Most companies find out about supplier insolvencies, cyber attacks, factory fires or floods that affect their supply chain when it's already a crisis. Prewave exists to change that. We're an AI-native company giving BMW Group, Hilti and Lufthansa real-time visibility into supply chain risks before they become headlines.

We're looking for a Technical Operations Specialist (f/m/d) who takes ownership of the data-focused, technical side of getting our platform to work for enterprise customers from day one. Someone who uses AI as a default part of how they work - and knows when to trust their own judgment.

What you'll own

• Translate customer requirements into technical reality - setting up new customer environments, tailoring the platform to specific client needs, and optimising existing environments as those needs evolve
• Handle bulk data updates and large-scale data imports, working directly with our databases and keeping data quality high across the system
• Build and maintain custom reporting so that enterprise customers and internal teams get the exact data views they need
• Join customer calls when needed to walk them through a technical topic in clear, simple language, helping them get the most out of the platform
• Partner with the Customer Success team to troubleshoot technical roadblocks, solve unique customer challenges, and help build automations

What we are looking for

You are the right fit if you:

Bring 2-3 years of experience in a Data Analyst or similar data-focused role

Have very good Excel skills and tech-savviness, with the ability to work across a range of technologies and online platforms

Have working knowledge of SQL and are comfortable working directly with databases

Can translate technical details into simple language for non-technical colleagues and customers

Are highly reliable and detail-oriented - careful and methodical when working with enterprise-scale data

Are familiar with, or willing to work in, a fast-paced scaleup environment

Are fluent in English, written and spoken

Hold a valid work permit for Austria

Nice to have:

• Scripting languages such as JavaScript or Python
• Fluent German
• Experience in SaaS and digital-solutions companies
• A degree in a quantitative or technical field, e.g. Engineering, Data Science, Computer Science, Maths or Business Informatics
• Previous experience in a technical support role, procurement, or supply chain environment

What's our working style

We're a resilient AI-native team building an AI-native resilience product - and we hire for both. For us, AI-native has always meant humans and AI working together, not one replacing the other. We use tools like Claude and Gemini as a normal part of the job, to think faster, work smarter and spend less time on the repetitive stuff. We treat AI fluency as a skill like any other - something you build, experiment with and keep developing. 

What goes with that is real ownership. You'll have the space and the trust to figure things out your way - with a strong team around you and plenty of support when you need it. Things move fast here and the brief won't always be complete, but that's what makes the work interesting.

The people who do best at Prewave are curious by default, go after things rather than wait to be handed them, and don't lose their footing when the plan changes.

We score six values in every interview - creating positive impact, optimising for customer value, being an ambitious innovator, operating with urgency, doing things that make sense and collaborating with kindness - so you always know what we're looking for and can prepare accordingly.
