We're looking for someone who can be the operational backbone of AIUC and own how the business runs from first principles – insourcing the core operations we're currently stitching together,, building the systems and financial controls a fast-scaling company needs, and removing friction and bottlenecks wherever you find it and gear us for growth.

In practice this means, you will:

• Insource and own core operations — bring the operational infrastructure, systems and processes that keep AIUC running in-house (vendors, contractors, legal, HR, etc)
• Centralize spend and financial controls — consolidate vendors and spend, put controls in place, and create visibility into where money goes.
• Support recruiting and people ops — help the team hire and onboard well as we grow headcount across functions.
• Run strategic finance and reporting — own board reporting, financial planning, and the numbers leadership runs the company on.
• Drive efficiency across the org — identify where the company is losing time or money and design the fix; turn unstructured problems into structured, durable systems.

Someone who wants to deliver real impact and ownership. We think you’ll be successful if you have:

• 6–10 years of experience, ideally having owned operations at a high-growth startup and seen scaling pains firsthand — or a top-tier generalist (consulting, finance, operating) we trust to learn ops fast.
• A killer smart generalist: analytical, detail-obsessed, obsessive about efficiency, with a relentless work ethic.
• Reasons from first principles and is just as comfortable going from a blank page to a concrete plan as executing it.
• Moves with urgency and communicates with structure.
• Finds satisfaction in enabling others and takes pride in operations that run seamlessly.

• Competitive annual salary
• Equity (significant part of total compensation)
• Health, dental and vision insurance for you and your dependents
• Visa sponsorship and relocation stipend to bring you to SF, if needed
• Daily meals
