About The Position

We are searching for a highly strategic, analytically minded operator to work directly alongside our CEO and senior leadership team. This person will be a key partner in shaping business strategy, improving operational execution, and leading cross-functional initiatives that move the company forward. The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building structure from scratch, and has experience scaling a high-growth startup—especially through rapid headcount expansion, evolving processes, and financial discipline. This role may sit at a variety of seniority levels (Head of Operations or VP of Strategic Operations) depending on candidate experience. Over time, this individual may assume responsibility for portions of Finance, FP&A, Business Operations, and strategic planning. You’ll help shape the operational backbone of a rapidly scaling company while working side-by-side with a visionary founder. This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-impact seat with visibility across the entire organization.

A builder mindset—excited to create structure, define processes, and improve systems in an environment where not everything is in place yet
