## Job description

## About Magentic

At Magentic, we're building the next generation of AI agents to transform how the world's largest companies manage procurement and supply chains.

We're tackling a $3 trillion market, building AI systems that can autonomously manage complex procurement workflows and help make global manufacturing supply chains more resilient.

Backed by Sequoia and Felicis, we've brought together an exceptional team with experience from OpenAI, Meta, Revolut, NASA and McKinsey.

We're growing quickly, solving challenging problems and building something with the potential to change how critical industries operate. It's an exciting time to join, early enough to make an huge impact and help shape what comes next.

## About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Operations Lead to play a key role in shaping how Magentic operates as we grow.

This is the perfect opportunity for someone who is proactive, independent and comfortable taking ownership and making decisions. You'll be pragmatic and commercially minded, with a focus on delivering real impact rather than overcomplicating things. You'll thrive in a fast-paced startup environment, know how to balance competing priorities and be confident finding solutions that work for the business as we grow.

It’s a wide ranging, highly collaborative role that will interact with the whole business: you'll work across people operations, IT and tooling, legal and compliance, alongside leading projects that improve how we work across the business.

## What You'll Do

- Take ownership of key People Operations processes, helping create a great employee experience as we grow.
- Shape how we use internal systems and tooling, finding smarter ways to work and opportunities to introduce automation.
- Take ownership of legal and compliance operations, working with external advisers to ensure we're set up for success as we scale.
- Drive high-impact projects, working closely with teams across the business to evolve our ways of working as we scale.
- Build and introduce new processes that make a genuine difference to how we operate, bringing together people, tools and data to support our growth.

## What We're Looking For

- 5–6+ years' experience in Operations or a similar generalist role, including experience leading on one of the key areas (people operations, legal, compliance or IT).
- Experience in high-growth startups is a must.
- A whizz AI, tooling and automation.
- Strong attention to detail and organisational skills.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

## Compensation and Benefits

At Magentic, we recognise and reward the talent that drives our success. We offer:

- Competitive Equity: play a real part in Magentic’s upside.
- Salary: £100,000 - £110,000 per annum
- Private healthcare
- Hybrid London HQ (4 days in the office).
- Company provided meals at the office
- Monthly “Social budget” to spend getting to know your colleagues (coffee, food, activities, etc.)
- Work from anywhere 4 weeks out of the year
- Salary sacrifice pension and nursery schemes
- Annual team retreat—a fully-funded off-site to recharge, bond, and build.

Our Interview Process We can move quickly through these stages, so let us know if you have any timelines we need to meet.

- Initial call (30 mins): this first step is an opportunity for you to hear more about Magentic and the role, and for us to learn more about how your experience aligns with the role.
- Skills interview (45 mins): in this step, we'll ask you to prepare a presentation and take Q&A.
- In-person interview (half-day, paid): for the final step, we invite you to come meet the team in-person. We find this is the best way for candidates to get a sense of what working at Magentic is like. This day will include a culture interview, founder interview and a presentation task / discussion with the team.

## Equal Opportunities and Accommodations Statement

At Magentic, our mission is to build AI that helps solve some of the world's most complex real world problems. We believe building a diverse workforce will be the key to solving this for our customers.

Magentic is committed to creating a truly inclusive team and we’re proud to be an equal-opportunity employer. As we grow, we're intentional about building teams with a broad range of backgrounds, experiences and viewpoints, recognising that this leads to better ideas, stronger collaboration and better outcomes for our customers therefore we strongly encourage applications from all backgrounds and cultures to apply.

We recognise that some groups remain underrepresented within the industry and are committed to creating an environment that celebrates and supports everyone.

Everyone works differently, and we want to ensure our interview process gives you the best chance to show us what you can do. If you require any reasonable adjustments or accommodations, please let us know and we'll work with you to make the process accessible.

Responsible AI Statement At Magentic, we are committed to developing artificial intelligence that benefits humanity. We push the limits of AI's capabilities and are dedicated to its responsible and safe deployment. Recognising the profound impact of AI, we ensure that its development is centred around human needs and safety, incorporating a wide array of perspectives to fulfil our mission.

## About Magentic

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Magentic provides an enterprise-grade AI agent platform that deploys autonomous "Mage" digital workers into supply chain and procurement teams to capture P&L savings.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed/Series A funded)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Robin Van Aeken (Co‑Founder & CEO), Odhran O'Donoghue (Co‑Founder & CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry/industries**: Supply Chain & Procurement Technology (AI Agents)
- **Target customers**: Global manufacturers, large enterprises with complex procurement and supply chain operations (B2B, Enterprise)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Supply chains are the hidden engines of our world… we build a technology that doesn’t keep up, it stays ahead." — inspired by the medication shortage crisis.

## Products & Services
- **Mage AI Teammates**: Autonomous digital workers that embed into procurement teams. They use existing company software (ERPs, email, files), search data, manage thousands of documents, and execute actions like updating invoices, notifying suppliers, and preparing price negotiations. **Type**: AI Agent Platform (SaaS + embedded digital workers)
- **Mage Internship / Full‑time / BAU Models**: Flexible deployment stages — start with an internship to prove savings, move to full‑time qualification, then continuous business‑as‑usual operation across the spend base.
- **No‑cure‑no‑pay pricing**: Customers pay based on measurable value delivered, typically within weeks.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: **$5.5M total funding** (Seed/Series A round, August 2025, led by Sequoia Capital)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Sequoia Capital (lead), plus three other institutional investors. Partners not explicitly named but integrates with major ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Coupa).
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount: 16 employees (as of mid‑2026), with +6.2% monthly growth.
  - 11 active job postings (57% monthly increase), indicating rapid scaling.
  - Case studies show quantifiable savings: 4% on MRO spend at a $40B manufacturer; 25% supplier document error rate reduction at a Fortune 500 company.
  - Clients include global manufacturers with >$40B revenue.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Deep domain focus**: Built specifically for procurement and supply chain workflows, not a generic AI chatbot — mages are trained on company policies, processes, and ERP data.
- **Human‑in‑the‑loop safety**: All actions are deterministic, auditable, and require human approval at key decision points; SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR compliant.
- **Lightning‑fast onboarding**: Integrates with any data store and ERP in days, not months.
- **Outcome‑based pricing**: Low risk for customers (no‑cure‑no‑pay) — the company is incentivized to deliver real P&L value.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scale the Go‑to‑Market**: Build on early enterprise wins and expand customer base among global manufacturers.
- **Platform expansion**: Deepen integration capabilities with more ERPs and supply chain systems, and extend Mages to additional procurement sub‑domains (e.g., supplier risk, sustainability compliance).
- **Talent acquisition**: Aggressively hiring across engineering, product, data science, and go‑to‑market roles to support growth.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: A mission‑driven team (“We started Magentic when the world ran out of medications…”) focused on solving real‑world supply chain fragility. Small, fast‑paced startup (16 people) with a flat structure and high ownership.
- **Remote/Hybrid/Office**: Headquarters in New York, with team members in the UK, Spain, and France. Multiple job postings do not specify location; likely remote‑friendly for technical roles (Forward Deployed Engineer, Data Scientist).
- **Notable perks / engineering culture**: The tech stack is modern (Python, TypeScript, React, Kubernetes, Snowflake, dbt). Engineering team includes alumni from Celonis, Revolut, McKinsey, Dynamo AI. Employees are given the autonomy to shape the product from the ground up.
- **Career growth**: As an early‑stage company backed by Sequoia, employees have significant impact on product and company direction. The rapid headcount and job posting growth suggest strong upward mobility.
