Business Operations Lead

Bay Area only. Hybrid role, with 2 days a week. Will not consider fully remote.

We are hiring a Business Operations Lead to work directly with the CEO and founding team during an early commercial and product learning cycle.

This is an early team role across operating cadence, GTM/customer discovery, pilot operations, and fundraising support. It is not a traditional Chief of Staff role, not a pure sales role, and not a back-office operations role. The job is to create leverage, run disciplined execution loops, and turn ambiguous company priorities into visible, trackable progress.

You will help across four core areas:

Founder leverage & operating cadence
Help manage company priorities, owners, follow-ups, weekly goals, notes, blockers, operating dashboards, and internal workflows.

GTM learning & customer discovery
Build lead lists, support outbound campaigns, test ICP hypotheses, run prospect research, help coordinate customer conversations, and synthesize what we are learning from the market.

Pilot and customer operations
Support early pilot/customer workflows, keep conversations and next steps organized, capture product feedback, and help translate customer learning into internal action.

Fundraising and business operations
Support investor tracking, data room preparation, financial model hygiene, diligence materials, follow-up tracking, and strategic projects as we move toward our next financing.

This is a hands-on individual contributor role. The right person should be excited to both design the system and do the work.

We are open to traditional and non-traditional profiles. You may come from startup operations, business operations, consulting, banking, venture, GTM operations, product operations, customer operations, or a similar high-intensity environment.

Strong candidates will have evidence of:

Turning ambiguity into structure
Driving follow-through without heavy management
Writing clearly and synthesizing information quickly
Running messy cross-functional projects
Supporting commercial/customer work
Using AI and workflow tools to move faster
Comfort with early-stage ambiguity and hands-on execution
