Description

Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.

At Tenstorrent, we are building the next generation of AI and RISC-V compute. This role supports our CVP of Operations by turning priorities into execution, driving cross-functional programs forward, and making sure important work does not stall between teams. It is a high-trust role for someone who can bring structure to ambiguity, keep leaders aligned, and move quickly without creating noise.

This role is hybrid, based out of Santa Clara,CA; Austin,TX; Boston,MA; or Toronto,ON.

We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.

 

Who You Are

  • High-agency operator who moves seamlessly between executive-level priorities and day-to-day execution, owning end-to-end outcomes.
  • Proven at driving complex cross-functional work across operations, finance, legal, recruiting, and business partners.
  • Deep understanding of the semiconductor business, including development timelines, product portfolios, manufacturing, sales and operations planning, and financial investments.
  • Clear, direct, and organized communicator who brings structure, follow-through, and sound judgment to fast-moving, ambiguous environments.
  • Trusted partner to senior leadership, anticipating needs, pressure-testing plans, and turning decisions into action while creating clarity where it doesn’t yet exist.

What We Need

  • Own and drive high-priority cross-functional programs on behalf of the CVP of Operations, from kickoff through execution and follow-through.
  • Drive effective operating cadences, including weekly staff meetings, monthly finance reviews, and quarterly all-hands, to achieve org KPIs and key milestones.
  • Coordinate across operations program managers to integrate sales & operations, headcount, and infrastructure planning processes.
  • Prepare clear, concise materials for leadership discussions, including updates, decision memos, project summaries, and operational recommendations.
  • Build and maintain operating rhythms that keep teams aligned by translating priorities into clear next steps, owners, timelines, and decision points, while proactively identifying execution gaps, surfacing risks early, and unblocking issues.

What You Will Learn

  • How to scale operations including headcount, manufacturing, and data center operations for a start-up product company in high growth AI segment
  • How a fast-moving AI hardware company scales operations across teams, regions, and functions.
  • How to shape, align, and executive decisions to invest at scale in a company building real products at speed.
  • How operating rigor, prioritization, and follow-through can accelerate company-wide execution.
