Head of Operations

About the opportunity A venture-backed, early-stage geospatial intelligence startup is building an agentic engine to answer complex questions about the physical world. We are looking for our first Head of Operations to serve as a foundational partner to the founders. This is a high-impact, generalist role designed for someone who can bridge the gap between back-office excellence and business-facing growth. You will own the operational backbone of a fast-moving Seed-stage company, ensuring the founders can stay focused on high-leverage product and strategy decisions. What you will do - Own the full operational backbone, including insurance, office management, compliance, payroll, accounting, and legal coordination. - Build and maintain talent pipelines and lead recruiting operations as the team scales. - Produce customer-facing materials, one-pagers, and sales collateral by independently synthesizing product use cases. - Support fundraising processes by creating investor decks, managing data rooms, and coordinating investor relations. - Design and implement internal systems and processes from scratch to support the next stage of growth. - Act as a trusted "mini-owner" who manages ambiguity and executes with high reliability. What you bring - 2 to 5 years of experience in operations, business operations, or a closely adjacent role at a startup. - Prior exposure to a high-growth environment (Series A, B, or C) where you have seen executional excellence and strong internal systems. - Exceptional communication skills with the ability to coordinate across vendors, customers, and internal stakeholders. - A "high agency" mindset—the ability to figure things out independently without a playbook. - A background in high-performance environments, which could include investment banking, consulting, venture capital, or competitive athletics. - The ability to work in-person at our San Francisco office. Why this role - Significant equity stake (0.5% - 0.75%) in a high-momentum Seed-stage company. - Direct partnership with founders and a seat at the table for all major company milestones. - Daily in-office meals and a high-grit, high-performance culture.
