**About Us**
We exist to make every startup and SMB in the world successful. We believe
that the more successful startups, the better a world we’ll all experience.
We work behind the scenes to help our client's win. We like efficiency. We
geek out on checklists. We are transparent with each other and our clients. We
are professional, inclusive, autonomous and our goal is to provide a culture
that fosters long-term success, is reputation & trust-based, fun and pushes
each of us to always learn.
We are looking for a proactive individual interested in joining our team of
Operations Partners, who are the main conduit through which all our client's
back-office operations run including: Human Resources, Finance, and
Compliance.
An Operation Partner serves as a fractional Chief of Staff/Chief Operating
Officer — working with 5+ startup founders / CEOs to project manage key
corporate matters. These responsibilities are often tactical, but as you build
trusted relationships with the CEOs of these world-changing startups, you will
also become their strategic partner. In short, you'll support founders to
project manage their most critical ops, acting as the point person to keep the
lights on!
**Some examples of the work we do:**
* Tactical responsibilities still require judgment and thoughtfulness — “can you work with our accountant to get taxes filed?” or “can you get this NDA out to a customer and coordinate if there are any issues?”
* Sometimes, they can get quite strategic — e.g., “how should I think about compensation and benchmarks for my company?” We’ve seen this organically happen at times, when OPs have built a trusted relationship with clients.
* Note, unlike an internal Chief of Staff, this role wouldn’t include involvement on more bespoke needs (e.g., go-to-market / analytics / partnerships).
* Research and problem-solving for back-office edge cases
* Contributing to our KB (internal + client-facing + public-facing blogs!) to create a centralized, reusable source of wisdom and best practices in startup building. Every startup reinvents the wheel on HR / Finance / Legal Ops, and this drives us crazy!
**Qualifications/Skills:**
* 5+ years of startup business experience that includes interfacing with clients or external parties is required.
* HR / Finance / Legal Ops experience is a big plus. (Not looking for a recruitment background).
* You love building deep, trusting relationships with dynamic founders across many industries.
* Are total geeks for better process, more standardization, and reinventing things just enough to make them more efficient. You enjoy improving every day.
* Checking items off of your work list, while also considering ‘how can I do this process more efficiently,’ brings a smile to your face. There is always more to do for clients and you thrive on getting things done while simultaneously knowing that you are helping to move these amazing startups forward.
* People who have a deep dedication to client service and doing right by our stakeholders, and going above and beyond to make sure our early adopters love us.
* Smart, detail-oriented, a context-switcher with GREAT communication skills!
* Ability to focus in stressful situations and almost automatically prioritize
* Openness to giving and receiving feedback, using the Radical Candor method
You don't mind doing the unsexy part of running a startup - i.e. dealing with
regulators (including waiting on hold forever for them to pick up), managing
employee offboardings, and basically doing the "startup plumber" work. It
might smell but a strong back-office if foundational to success.
You want to join a passionate, fun and kind team for the long-term (2+ years).
While this role might be a stepping stone and we celebrate our team member’s
growth, if you apply, our assumption is that you’d prefer a job where you can
see yourself for several years over one where you think you’d be gone in 12
months.
* _Compensation: *_
Base compensation for OP2 of $80,000.00 per year plus annual profit sharing.
OP1 (more junior) has a base compensation of $70K.
Every team member receives equity in levy, which is variable based on level.
Since we're building for the long-term, we offer equity on the high side of
comparable companies

stupid. Optional coaching 2x/mo.
