Start-up company backed by an early-stage venture fund is looking for an Operations Lead to support the CEO. This is a strategic operator role for someone with project management experience, strong systems thinking, and the ability to execute in ambiguous, fast-changing environments. You’ll be the operational right hand to the CEO while working closely with the COO.
This is an opportunity for someone who wants a front-row seat in building a culturally influential consumer brand and take ownership of operational excellence from day one.
What You’ll Do
- Partner directly with CEO to run day-to-day operations
- Own project management across the company-from logistics to product launches
- Build operational systems from scratch, then delegate or automate
- Coordinate with COO for knowledge transfer and training on existing systems
- Manage execution on high-priority items-marketing drops, vendor relationships, logistics
- Ensure CEO’s travel and logistics are handled with the EA
- Serve as a culture and execution glue across a tight, high-output team
- Occasionally coordinate with venture team for fund-related visibility or crossover
Who You Are
- 2-4+ years of experience in consulting (ideally post-Big Four, post-Startup path)
- A proven project manager-comfortable with complex workflows, ownership, and deadlines
- A doer and builder who thrives in ambiguous environments and intense working cultures
- Systems- and operations-minded; someone who creates order out of chaos
- Unphased by direct, fast-paced communication styles
- Ability to execute and delegate accordingly
- Excited by the idea of joining a rocket ship-early enough to shape it, late enough to scale it
Work Style & Culture
- We value speed, clarity, and intensity over layers and fluff
- CEO is direct and focused-you’ll match that pace
- Hours are fluid, with expectations of availability and responsiveness
- High-performing team, high expectations, high upside
- Small, tight-knit team at a formative stage of a company being built the right way
