About The Position

As part of our Business Operations team, you'll work directly with our executive team to translate strategic priorities into operational reality. This isn't a scheduling or note-taking role; you'll own ambiguous, cross-functional problems end-to-end, stand up new functions from scratch, and bring rigor to how the company operates as it scales. This role reports directly to the COO and works closely with every function in the company, including engineering, GTM, finance, and people/ops.

Requirements

2-5 years of experience in a high-ownership, cross-functional role; chief of staff, business operations, strategy & operations, management consulting, or founding a company
Experience at a hyper-growth startup, ideally one that scaled quickly and required building new functions and processes from scratch
Some technical fluency — comfortable having technical conversation, especially in the multi-modal data space, understanding basic infrastructure or model training concepts, or working directly with engineers, even if you're not an engineer yourself
Strong business operational instincts: comfort with financial models, dashboards, and translating ambiguous goals into concrete plans
High agency and a bias toward action. You should be comfortable picking up unfamiliar problems and driving them to resolution without much guidance
Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple concurrent work-streams without dropping details

Nice To Haves

Experience building out a specific function (finance, people ops, GTM ops)
A technical background (CS, engineering, or a related field) even if your career has moved into operations or strategy

Responsibilities

Work directly with the COO and leadership team to identify, prioritize, and drive the company's strategic initiatives
Build and own new operational functions as the company scales — from planning and reporting processes to systems for finance, people, and GTM operations that don't yet exist
Drive cross-functional projects from ambiguity to execution, working directly with engineering, GTM, and finance to unblock progress and hold owners accountable to deadlines
Help run the operating cadence of the company: goal-setting, weekly/monthly business reviews, and org-wide planning
Get into the technical details where needed — jumping in to support different verticals
Identify gaps in how the company operates before they become urgent, and build the lightweight systems and processes to close them
Support hiring across the company as we scale the team
