About The Position

Eka Robotics is seeking a hands-on Business Operations Analyst to join the Head of Operations’ team. The role helps a fast-growing robotics company operate effectively and anticipate emerging needs. It is a broad generalist position spanning operational projects, analysis, coordination, and day-to-day execution.

The analyst will take loosely defined problems from initial assessment through follow-up and completion. Work may include evaluating a facilities expansion, building cost models, preparing company-wide or investor materials, improving internal processes, coordinating cross-functional projects, and addressing ad hoc needs. The role requires both analytical capability and practical execution, with a focus on ownership and finding more efficient ways to operate.

Requirements

• At least 2 years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, venture capital, business operations, a startup, or another fast-paced analytical environment.
• Ability to take ambiguous problems, identify appropriate next steps, and independently drive work to completion.
• Structured conceptual and analytical thinking, ability to quickly learn unfamiliar topics, and sound judgment.
• Willingness to handle both analytical work and detailed coordination, follow-up, and administrative tasks.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, prioritization, and reliable follow-through across multiple workstreams.
• Clear and polished written and verbal communication, with the ability to work across technical teams, leadership, and external partners.
• Comfort with changing priorities and evolving role scope in a fast-moving startup.
• Excitement about the mission of building general-purpose manipulation and foundation models; engineering experience is not required.
• B.S. in Business Administration, Engineering, or a related field.

Responsibilities

• Own company-level projects and ad hoc needs, driving them from the initial question through execution and follow-up.
• Coordinate across teams, vendors, and external partners to keep projects moving, resolve issues, and close open loops.
• Support analytical projects such as operational planning, cost modeling, and evaluating new company needs or investments.
• Prepare materials for town halls, board and investor communications, conferences, external events, and other company priorities.
• Improve lightweight internal processes, maintain company documentation, and organize important information and recurring operating rhythms.
• Partner with the Head of Operations and company leadership on emerging priorities across facilities, internal operations, marketing, corporate initiatives, and other areas.
