This hands-on role involves partnering with Sales leadership to optimize sales motions, drive revenue performance, and build operational tooling. ## Job description Revenue Operations Location: San Francisco, CA (In-office) Team: Revenue/GTM Operations - Granola Full-Time ## About Us We’re Team Granola 👋, building tools that help humans think and work better. What began as an AI notepad for back-to-back meetings has become a shared team workspace and second brain. Granola spreads organically inside companies, often starting with a senior leader and quickly cascading across teams. Today, Granola is used at many of the world’s top and fastest-growing companies like Vercel, Cursor, Lovable and Decagon. Designed and built in London, Granola now serves a predominantly US customer base. To support that growth, we’ve opened a San Francisco office as the hub for our North American go-to-market efforts. ## About the Role You’ll be the first Revenue Operations hire in the San Francisco office, defining our go-to-market approach and building the operational foundation of Granola’s sales motions. This is a hands-on building role for someone who wants to design and own, not inherit and maintain. You'll define processes, own reporting, run operational cadences, launch motions, and enable sales through tooling. You’ll shape strategically how we go to market: who we target, how we segment, and what the right motions look like as Granola scales. You'll work closely with the VP of Sales and our AEs day-to-day, and partner with our GTM Engineering team in London. This role reports into the Head of GTM Operations in London. ## What You’ll Do The philosophy is to design and own, not inherit and maintain. - Own key GTM processes. Design, build and iterate on the key operational processes. Map the motions, find the friction, design the fixes. - Be the key operational partner to Sales leadership. Work very closely with the VP of Sales to drive revenue - surfacing what's working, what isn't, and what to change. - Define our ICP and segmentation. Have a clear point of view on who we should be targeting and why. Bring the analysis that sharpens our ICP, informs inbound and outbound prioritization, and makes our targeting smarter over time. - Lead territory and quota planning. Partner with Sales leadership on territory design, goaling metrics, and quota setting. - Drive revenue performance. Identify and fix bottlenecks in the funnel, including lead routing, qualification and conversion to grow revenue impact across Sales. - Own sales performance reporting and forecasting. Own the weekly forecasting process, identifying risks and opportunities for Sales leadership. - Enable Sales through tooling and own CRM integrity. Understand Sales workflows and build tools to drive improvements. Keep the CRM trusted and well-used, and support reps in managing their pipeline effectively. - Partner with GTM Engineering. Be the business voice that shapes what the team builds. Identify where systems and AI software can improve the motion. ## What We’re Looking For Background & Experience - 4–8 years of experience in Revenue Operations, GTM Operations, or a similar role supporting Sales teams. - Track record of designing, running and consistently improving sales processes to drive measurable impact on revenue. - Hands-on experience with modern GTM tooling (e.g. Attio, Apollo, Clay) and AI and automation. - Strong data and analytical skills with experience working with pipeline data, forecasting, and performance metrics. ## Skills & Traits - Highly autonomous, strong problem-solving mindset, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment. - Comfortable working with sales teams and collaboratively across time zones. - Clear and concise communicator. - Actively looks for ways to apply AI and automation. Personal Characteristics - A builder who gets energized creating things from scratch and driving improvements once they exist. - Excited to work in-person in the SF office, embedded with the sales team. - Pragmatic and impact-focused. - Values working with people who are kind, ambitious, and collaborative. Compensation: $160k – $220k + equity and benefits! Our compensation philosophy is to hire the best people in the market and pay them accordingly with salary, variable, and equity. ## About Granola ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Granola is an AI-powered meeting notepad that runs locally on a user’s device, transcribing and generating structured notes from meetings without requiring a visible bot to join the call. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series C) - **Headquarters**: London, United Kingdom - **Founded**: 2023 - **Founders**: Chris Pedregal (CEO) and Sam Stephenson (CTO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: AI-powered productivity software, Meeting Intelligence, Enterprise AI Context Layer - **Target customers**: Primarily B2B — serving knowledge workers in sales, legal, executive functions, and enterprise teams. Named customers include Vanta, Gusto, Thumbtack, Asana, Cursor, Lovable, Decagon, and Mistral AI. - **Mission or purpose statement**: "Build tools that help humans better" — the company’s goal is to make meetings more productive without intruding on human connection. ## Products & Services - **Granola (Core Product)**: An AI notepad for back-to-back meetings. It runs locally on macOS and Windows, captures audio from the user’s computer without a bot joining the call, and uses meeting context (calendar, past notes) to generate Notion-style notes, action items, and follow-ups. Available for iPhone as well. - **Granola Chat**: Lets users query their entire conversation history using Claude, GPT, or Gemini. - **Spaces**: Team-oriented feature for organizing, sharing, and searching contextual notes across meetings and channels. - **Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server**: An API layer that allows other AI tools to query Granola’s meeting context, positioning it as a "context layer" for agentic AI workflows. - **Enterprise API**: SSO, SCIM, and consent-based data management for large organizations. The core product is free for unlimited meeting notes (notes older than 30 days require an upgrade). ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: $1.5 billion (Series C, March 2026 — a sixfold increase from its $250 million valuation less than a year prior) - **Total Funding**: Over $192 million ($67M prior to Series C, plus $125M Series C) - **Key Metric**: High engagement and viral growth within companies — product-market fit described as "genuine" by users - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Index Ventures (led Series C), Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed, Betaworks, Firstminute Capital, and angel investors including Mike Krieger (Instagram), David Lieb (YC Partner), Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Amjad Masad (Replit), Tobi Lutke (Shopify), Karri Saarinen (Linear), Lenny Rachitsky (Lenny's Newsletter), Des Traynor (Intercom), Soleio, and Charlie Songhurst. - **Growth Signals**: Rapid valuation growth (6x in under a year), explicit enterprise pivot with a robust API, MCP server, and large named enterprise customer base. ## Competitive Advantages - **Stealth recording (no bot)**: Granola is the only major meeting intelligence tool that captures audio from the user’s computer rather than sending a visible bot into the call — a key differentiator for professionals who find bots intrusive. - **Context-layer strategy**: By offering an MCP server and APIs, Granola positions itself as a cross-platform "memory" for all AI agents and tools, rather than a siloed note-taking app. - **High user love & viral growth**: Users report genuine product-market fit, with the product spreading virally within companies. - **Strong design and product thinking**: Founded by a design-led team in London, with deep experience in product and engineering. ## Strategic Focus - **Enterprise expansion**: The $125M Series C is explicitly earmarked for building out enterprise features (SSO, SCIM, consent-based data management) and winning large organizations. - **Agentic AI integration**: Granola is investing heavily in becoming the "context layer" for other AI tools — its MCP server and APIs allow any agent to query meeting history, making it a critical data infrastructure play. - **Growth in London & US**: Hiring across Engineering, Design, Sales, and Operations in both London and San Francisco — building out a US revenue team. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Small, tight-knit in-person team (~50 employees as of early 2026) with total ownership over your area of the product. Described as "high trust" with visionary founders. Office is beautiful, with breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided daily. - **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Office-first with flexibility built in — 5 days in office by default, but flexible for life circumstances. Remote up to four weeks a year. - **Notable Perks**: - Health Insurance (AXA for UK family; Aetna/Kaiser for US with dental & vision) - 20 weeks primary / 12 weeks secondary parental leave (fully paid) - 401(k) 100% match on first 3% of salary (US); 7% matching via Penfold (UK) - Daily fresh lunch (office) - Gym Boost: monthly contribution toward gym membership - L&D Budget: annual budget for courses, books, conferences - Life Insurance: 4x salary (UK); 2x up to $750k (US) - Income Protection: 75% salary (UK); 60% up to $12k/month (US) - Time Off: 25 days + bank holidays (UK); Unlimited PTO (US) - Commuter Benefits: tax-free bike purchase (UK); pre-tax transit/parking (US) - "Casa Granola" team getaway house in Majorca for offsites/deep work. - **Engineering Culture**: AI-heavy, product-engineering focus. Roles include AI Engineer, Product Engineers (Backend, Full Stack, Windows), Design Engineer, and Security Engineer. Engineers work directly with co-founders on roadmap. ## Sources 1.
