Role overview
We are seeking a Business Operations Analyst to join the Head of Operations’ team and help keep a fast-growing company running effectively and staying ahead of the next issue.
This is a broad, hands-on generalist role spanning operational projects, analysis, coordination, and day-to-day execution. You might help evaluate a facilities expansion, build a cost model, prepare company-wide or investor materials, improve an internal process, coordinate a cross-functional project, or take ownership of an ad hoc issue that does not clearly belong to another team.
The common thread is a strong ownership mindset. We are looking for someone who can take a loosely defined problem, figure out what needs to happen, drive the follow-ups, and see it through to completion. You should be equally comfortable doing analytical work and handling the practical details required to make things happen; while proactively looking for better, more efficient ways to operate.
Responsibilities
- Operational Ownership: Take on a broad range of company-level projects and ad hoc needs, driving them from initial question through execution and follow-up.
- Cross-Functional Execution: Coordinate across teams, vendors, and external partners to keep projects moving, resolve issues, and close open loops.
- Business Analysis: Support targeted analytical projects, including operational planning, cost modeling, and evaluating new company needs or investments.
- Company & Leadership Materials: Help prepare high-quality materials for townhalls, board and investor communications, conferences, external events, and other important company priorities.
- Process & Documentation: Improve lightweight internal processes, maintain company documentation, and help ensure important information and recurring operating rhythms stay organized.
- Special Projects: Partner directly with the Head of Operations and company leadership on emerging priorities across facilities, internal operations, marketing, corporate initiatives, and other areas as the company grows.
Qualifications
- 2+ years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, venture capital, business operations, a startup, or another fast-paced analytical environment.
- High Ownership: Able to take ambiguous problems, determine the right next steps, and independently drive work to completion without requiring constant direction.
- Strong Problem Solving: Structured conceptual and analytical thinker who can quickly get up to speed on unfamiliar topics and make sound judgments.
- Execution-Oriented: Willing to handle both substantive analytical work and the detailed coordination, follow-up, and administrative work required to get things done.
- Resourcefulness & Curiosity: Proactively look for new tools, technologies, and ways of working that can make the company more effective; comfortable experimenting rather than defaulting to how things have always been done.
- Organization & Follow-Through: Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple workstreams, prioritize effectively, and reliably close open loops.
- Communication: Clear and polished written and verbal communicator who can work effectively across technical teams, leadership, and external partners.
- Adaptability: Comfortable working in a fast-moving startup where priorities evolve and the scope of the role will change over time.
- Robotics/AI Interest: While you don’t need to be an engineer, you should be excited about the mission of building general-purpose manipulation and foundation models.
- Education: B.S. in Business Administration, Engineering, or a related field.
