Job Description

What You’ll Do

  • Own and upgrade operations — Streamline internal systems, implement tooling, and remove friction across the company
  • Drive alignment — Coordinate planning cycles, track progress against goals, and keep our leadership team focused on what matters most
  • Amplify leadership — Sit in on key meetings, prep materials, and help drive cross-functional decision-making
  • Tackle ambiguity — Whether it’s a hiring challenge, a product bottleneck, or a fire drill with a partner, you’ll step in and lead with a founders mindset.
  • Build for scale — Design systems that not only work now but scale with our growth

You Might Be a Fit If You:

  • Love people, optimizing workflows and work with an AI first mindset.
  • Are an entrepreneur (it’s acting on the world with high agency and bigger than starting companies) and know what it means to build
  • Have 6–10 years of experience across startups, consulting, product, operations, or similar generalist tracks
  • Are deeply curious about robotics, AI, or the infrastructure that powers them
  • Have a high EQ and communicate clearly and kindly in way that inspired trust and psychological safety
  • Can articulate how you uniquely contribute the diversity of our team
  • Are based in the San Francisco Bay Area or open to regular in-person time with the leadership team in San Francisco

Why This Role?

This is not a back-office role — it’s a gateway to executive leadership. You’ll be in the room where it happens, shaping the operating model of a company at the forefront of an emerging field. Whether your future path is COO, founder, or functional executive, this role will accelerate your trajectory.
