Full Job Description
The role

We're looking for someone who can be the operational backbone of AIUC and own how the business runs from first principles - insourcing the core operations we're currently stitching together,, building the systems and financial controls a fast-scaling company needs, and removing friction and bottlenecks wherever you find it and gear us for growth.

In practice this means, you will:
  • Insource and own core operations - bring the operational infrastructure, systems and processes that keep AIUC running in-house (vendors, contractors, legal, HR, etc)
  • Centralize spend and financial controls - consolidate vendors and spend, put controls in place, and create visibility into where money goes.
  • Support recruiting and people ops - help the team hire and onboard well as we grow headcount across functions.
  • Run strategic finance and reporting - own board reporting, financial planning, and the numbers leadership runs the company on.
  • Drive efficiency across the org - identify where the company is losing time or money and design the fix; turn unstructured problems into structured, durable systems.


What we're looking for

Someone who wants to deliver real impact and ownership. We think you'll be successful if you have:
  • 6-10 years of experience, ideally having owned operations at a high-growth startup and seen scaling pains firsthand - or a top-tier generalist (consulting, finance, operating) we trust to learn ops fast.
  • A killer smart generalist: analytical, detail-obsessed, obsessive about efficiency, with a relentless work ethic.
  • Reasons from first principles and is just as comfortable going from a blank page to a concrete plan as executing it.
  • Moves with urgency and communicates with structure.
  • Finds satisfaction in enabling others and takes pride in operations that run seamlessly.


Compensation & perks
  • Annual salary as above
  • Equity is a significant part of total compensation, in addition to salary
  • Generous health, dental and vision insurance for you and your dependents
  • Visa sponsorship and relocation stipend to bring you to SF, if possible
  • A team dedicated to doing our lives' work.

Our values

Strong back - High standards, keep our promises, work hard

Open heart - Say the scary thing, create connection, make room for emotions

Fast feet - Experiment, cut scope, take delight in pace

Eyes up - 'Feel the AGI' across our strategy, teams and day-to-day work
