Head of OperationsSan Francisco • Onsite • Full-time
About the roleBuilding affordable robots takes more than a good design. Parts, suppliers, production, logistics, and company operations need to work together.
We're hiring a Head of Operations to build and run the operating systems that help Bracket Bot ship. You'll work closely with the founders and engineering team to turn plans into reliable execution across sourcing, procurement, production coordination, and delivery.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll set priorities, resolve operational bottlenecks, and build processes that remain useful as the company grows.
What you'll do- Own operational planning and execution across suppliers, procurement, production coordination, and logistics.
- Build supplier relationships and manage cost, lead-time, delivery, and quality tradeoffs.
- Keep parts, inventory, build readiness, and shipment plans aligned with engineering priorities.
- Create clear ownership, tracking, and escalation paths for operational risks and blockers.
- Work with engineering on design changes, build schedules, manufacturing readiness, and cost reduction.
- Build practical company workflows for purchasing, vendors, and operational administration.
- Improve the systems and team practices needed to scale operations without slowing execution.
What we're looking for- Experience owning operations and delivering results in a hardware or similarly complex business.
- Strong judgment across suppliers, procurement, production, logistics, and competing priorities.
- Ability to work closely with engineers and understand technical and commercial tradeoffs.
- Evidence of building useful processes and following through on operational details.
- Clear communication, high ownership, and comfort leading while doing hands-on work.
Nice to have- Robotics or electromechanical hardware experience.
- Experience with international suppliers and APAC sourcing.
- Experience moving hardware from prototypes into repeatable production.
- Experience building operations in an early-stage company.
Important notes- Broad ownership of how the company operates and how robots get built and delivered.
- The role requires both operational leadership and direct execution.
- We value resolved problems, reliable delivery, and systems that help the team move faster.
