About The Position

We deploy powerful AI in complex, regulated industries, specializing in building the systems that enable autonomous agents to operate entire functions securely and reliably. Our belief is that people should be free of administrative and operational drudgery so they can create value through creativity, reasoning, and judgement. We’re starting in higher education, a sector with ~$700B in expenses defined by heavy workflows across departments, such as admissions, financial aid, facilities, advising, student services, advancement, and more. Our agents are already embedded across these departments, interacting with millions of students and staff. They process applications, package aid, resolve verification issues, run large-scale communication workflows, handle student support tickets, and more. We believe that universities are among the most consequential institutions in the world, sitting at the foundation of social and economic progress. Improving how they operate improves who gets educated, who gets supported, and who gets a chance. When higher education runs better, everything built on top of it does too. We’re hiring a BizOps teammate to take on high-leverage, cross-functional work across the company. You’ll partner with founders, product, engineering, and GTM to drive strategy, stand up new initiatives from 0→1, and own critical operational workflows as we scale. The role blends structured strategic thinking with hands-on execution. You’ll operate as an internal problem-solver who moves seamlessly between analysis, product work, and customer-facing projects.
