Business Operations & Strategy
About The Position
As a Business Operations Associate, you’ll operate as a true generalist working directly with company leadership on the most important problems facing the business at any given time. This is a highly dynamic, high-ownership role. One quarter you might be focused on operational reviews, the next on talent initiatives or building Cogent’s external presence. The common thread is: you’ll work on whatever matters most to moving the company forward. The role offers rare exposure to how a category-defining company is built end to end, making it a strong fit for someone excited by company-building and long-term leadership growth.

- Highly comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with minimal structure
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, paired with excellent judgment
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
- Strong relationship-builder who works well across technical and non-technical teams
- High ownership mindset with a bias towards action
Responsibilities
- Partner with founders and company leaders to drive high-priority strategic and operational initiatives
- Conduct operational reviews across the business to identify gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement
- Contribute to the talent function, including hiring strategy, process improvement, and special projects in recruiting or people operations
- Help build Cogent’s community and brand through events, partnerships, content, and ecosystem engagement
- Step into new strategic priorities as they emerge, taking ownership and driving them to impact
