Founding Operator - AI-Native Marketplace Startup

EOS Trading Corp • Hollywood, FL

18h • Hybrid

About The Position

Our Startup is an early-stage marketplace designed to help buyers get better prices by allowing qualified sellers to compete for their business. Instead of buyers searching seller by seller, the platform allows buyers to submit a request and receive competing quotes from sellers. The goal is to create a faster, more transparent, and more competitive buying experience. The founder currently operates an established eCommerce company with over $13M in annual sales, 60 employees, and an 11,000 sq. ft. warehouse. The marketplace concept has been in development for several years, and recent advances in AI have made it possible to move much faster. We already have a strong business concept, a premium domain, an initial demo built using AI/no-code tools, an investor pitch deck, and founder capital available for launch, along with real-world eCommerce and marketplace experience. We are now looking for the right person to help turn this from concept/demo into a functioning business. We are looking for a highly intelligent, high-agency, AI-native operator to work directly with the founder and help launch the company. This is not a traditional corporate role. It is a ground-floor startup role for someone who wants real responsibility, broad exposure, and meaningful upside. You will help move the company forward across product, operations, AI tools, vendor management, seller/buyer outreach, and launch execution. You do not need to be a full-time programmer. However, you should be comfortable with technology, AI tools, no-code/low-code platforms, and “vibe coding” workflows. You should be able to work with developers, understand technical tradeoffs, and translate real-world business needs into clear product requirements.
