This is a role for someone who loves high-velocity environments, is comfortable with complexity, and holds an extremely high standard for accuracy, organization, and follow-through.

You will manage and eventually build the broader Operations function as the company scales. This role sits directly beneath the founders and is a strong future-COO track.
