Description

A high-ownership generalist who takes on whatever matters most at the time. The mandate is broad and shifts as we grow: one week it's a growth experiment, the next it's standing up financial reporting or untangling a messy operational problem. This is hands-on work across every business function - operations, finance, growth, marketing, sales, support, product, fundraising, etc. You take things to completion yourself.

What you'll own

Early on:

  • Own ambiguous tasks end-to-end - figure out the path when there's no playbook, then close them
  • Run the analyses that inform decisions and turn them into recommendations we can act on
  • Run and improve processes, docs, and trackers
  • Drive follow-ups across the team so deadlines, owners, and decisions don't slip

As you earn scope:

  • Own high-impact problems end-to-end - diagnose, build the fix, ship it, mostly on your own
  • Take on owned projects across any business function
  • Build and automate the systems and processes we're missing
  • Own the metrics and targets for an area and report on what's working
  • Step in as interim owner of a function until it's stood up or hired for

What we're looking for

  • A generalist with genuine range, drawn to owning unfamiliar problems
  • Strong academic background with rigorous analytical training
  • Reasons through complex problems and imposes structure on ambiguity
  • Technically literate - comfortable with systems, data, and tooling, and reaches for AI to amplify output
  • High ownership, strong judgment, and a bias to action; delivers end-to-end without being managed
  • A structured thinker who writes clearly and gets to the point
  • Motivated by learning and building the whole business

What we offer

  • Work directly with us and learn fast
  • Direct impact on how the company operates day to day
  • High-trust, high-responsibility environment
  • Competitive compensation
  • A path to a function-owner role, or Chief of Staff
