Role Overview- Reports to: Al Hleileh, CEO and Co-Founder
- Location: US preferred, remote with regular travel
- Type: Full-time, near-Co-Founder level
You're probably not a career COO who has only scaled a working machine. You may be an early-stage GM, a Chief of Staff with real operating range, a founder or ex-founder, or a business operations leader who has built zero-to-one systems and wants a near-cofounder seat.
You likely have:- Founder-level ownership: you take responsibility for outcomes, create clarity, and do the unglamorous work when it matters.
- Recent hands-on operating experience, staying close to the numbers and the day-to-day because you want to.
- Experience building commercial or operational systems close to scratch, ideally in an early-stage or fast-moving environment.
- Strong quantitative instincts: you think in dashboards, cohorts, and unit economics.
- Pragmatism and speed: you know when to move fast, when to invest in rigor, and when to cut scope, and operate under ambiguity.
- Leadership range: you can coach and raise standards even without a large team yet.
- Low ego and high standards: direct, curious, and comfortable being challenged.
- Mission-driven, with public sector curiosity. No prior public sector experience required, but a belief that government can buy and operate better is an advantage.
We're especially interested in people who have operated as a GM, COO, or Chief of Staff in an early-stage company, or who come from marketplace, regulated, or compliance-heavy environments.
What's in it for You- Real commercial ownership: you help decide the plan, not just execute someone else's.
- A market with room to win: public procurement is large, important, underserved, and the AI-native version hasn't been won yet.
- A small, committed team of thoughtful, motivated operators and engineers.
- Competitive compensation and meaningful equity, structured for a high-impact, near-cofounder role.
- A remote-first team with regular time together; distributed by design, with travel given how central relationships are.
