The opportunity:

Recruiter Concierge is recruiting for an early-stage AI company building technology that helps people search and reason across physical-world data. As the company’s first Head of Operations, you’ll build its operational foundation and take ownership of essential business activities, giving the founder more time to focus on product and growth. This is a hands-on generalist role. Your work will span payroll, compliance and contracts alongside recruiting operations, customer materials and fundraising support. You’ll thrive here if you work independently, bring order to ambiguity and follow through with care.

What you’ll do:

• Own insurance, office management, compliance, payroll, accounting, contracts and legal coordination.
• Build and maintain talent pipelines and support recruiting as the team grows.
• Create customer-facing materials and one-pagers that clearly explain the product and its use cases.
• Support fundraising with presentations, data rooms and investor materials.
• Design internal systems and processes to support the next stage of growth.
• Coordinate with vendors, candidates, customers and internal stakeholders.
• Anticipate operational needs and resolve issues without requiring a detailed playbook.

What you bring:

• 2–5 years of experience in startup operations, business operations or a closely related role.
• Experience at a Series A, B or C startup, with firsthand understanding of strong internal systems and execution.
• Exceptional reliability, attention to detail and ownership.
• Strong communication skills across a wide range of stakeholders.
• Comfort handling foundational administration and business-facing projects in the same week.
• The ability to understand a technical product and translate it into clear business materials.
• Availability to work in person in San Francisco.

Experience in investment banking, private equity, consulting, venture investing, product or sales can be valuable when paired with demonstrated operational execution.

Compensation:

$150,000–$200,000 base salary, plus 0.5%–0.75% equity.
