About the role

  • You'll be the architect of our operational infrastructure.
  • This isn't about maintaining the status quo—you'll be building systems, processes, and teams while keeping the trucks running.
  • Work directly with our founders and leadership team to identify operational bottlenecks, design solutions, and execute with urgency.
  • Immediate impact: Audit current operations across finance, HR, legal, and facilities to identify critical gaps.
  • Implement quick wins that reduce friction and free up founder/leadership time.
  • Own vendor relationships and negotiate better contracts.
  • Partner with finance team for budget management.
  • Lead quarterly planning and cross-functional project coordination.
  • Near Term Impact: Build and scale our people operations: onboarding, performance management, compensation frameworks.
  • Design and implement systems for managing rapid growth (tools, workflows, documentation).
  • Establish data-driven operational metrics and reporting cadence.
  • Begin building your team as complexity grows.
  • Long Term Opportunity: Evolve into VP Operations or COO as the company scales.

Requirements

  • 4-7 years of experience in high-performing environments: management consulting, investment banking, startup operations, or strategic finance
  • Track record of building processes and systems from scratch, not just maintaining them
  • Exceptional project management skills with ability to juggle multiple priorities simultaneously
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities—you love diving into data to find insights
  • Proven ability to execute with limited resources and ambiguous direction
  • Outstanding communication skills and ability to influence without authority
  • Bias toward action and comfort making decisions with incomplete information
  • Strongly Preferred
  • Experience at a high-growth startup during a key scaling phase
  • Exposure to multiple operational functions (finance, HR, legal, sales ops)
  • Background in management consulting (MBB or similar) or investment banking
  • Familiarity with startup tools and systems (e.g., Ramp, Carta, Equals, Hubspot)
  • Experience supporting fundraising processes or board-level reporting
Benefits
  • Competitive salary range: $175k-$195k + meaningful equity
  • Flextime, recognition, and support for autonomous work: Flexible time off with ample learning and development opportunities to continue growing your career.
  • Health benefits: Company-paid medical, dental, and vision
  • 401k
  • Clear path to VP of Operations or COO at scale
