About the role
Posted: 2026-09-05
What they are looking for
- 3–7 years of demonstrated slope in BizOps, strategy, or operator roles at high-velocity companies - frontier AI labs, top-tier startups, or the consulting/banking-to-operator path. We index on what you owned and the delta you created, not your résumé
- AI-native. You’ve shipped or operated close to LLM products and understand eval and inference economics well enough to be dangerous. You don’t need it explained to you
- Exceptional writer and thinker. Muddy writing is muddy thinking - we’ll test for it
- Superb judgment with confidential information, competing priorities, and executive-level relationships - internally and externally
- Proven track record leading complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives from ambiguous start to clean finish
- High floor under pressure. You hold the line when things are on fire
- Low ego, high ownership - you don’t need credit, you need things to get done
WHAT THE FIRST 90 DAYS LOOK LIKE
Day 30: You’ve absorbed the operating cadence, mapped where the gaps are across every function, taken at least two recurring time-sinks off the CEO’s plate, and established yourself as the go-to for CEO office matters
Day 60: The company dashboard is live and you’re running the weekly metrics review. Board prep and at least one cross-functional initiative are yours end-to-end. People come to you, not the CEO, for status
Day 90: Planning cycles are tighter. Leadership meetings are more decisive. Strategic initiatives stay moving across team boundaries. The CEO has visibly more leverage - measurably more time on product, customers, and recruiting
What comes with it
