About the Role As a Business Operations Associate, you'll operate as a true generalist working directly with company leadership on the most important problems facing the business at any given time.
This is a highly dynamic, high-ownership role. One quarter you might be focused on operational reviews, the next on talent initiatives or building Cogent's external presence. The common thread is: you'll work on whatever matters most to moving the company forward.
The role offers rare exposure to how a category-defining company is built end to end, making it a strong fit for someone excited by company-building and long-term leadership growth.
