Operations Manager

I’m looking for a Head of Operations / Founding Operator for a well-backed Seed-stage company in Berkeley.

This is a role for someone who wants far more ownership than they’re likely to be getting in their current company. Someone who has ambitions to be a COO within a high growth business.

The company is building in climate infrastructure / robotics, but you do not need to come from robotics or deeptech. This role is all about the personality, drive, ambition of the individual. Experience in high growth startups/scaleups is our requirement, not just robotics or hardware.

The ideal person is currently working in a high-growth startup in one of the following areas:

• Strategy & Operations
• Business Operations / Biz
• Ops
• Founder’s Office / Chief of Staff
• Product Operations
• Product Strategy
• Special Projects
• Product / Growth
• What matters is that you are sharp, structured, high-agency, and already operating well in a fast-moving startup environment.

This role would suit someone who wants to step into a much broader seat: working directly with the founders, building the operating cadence of the company, owning strategic initiatives, improving cross-functional execution, and helping turn early traction into a scalable business.

What you’ll be doing:

• Building the operating system of the company
• Turning founder priorities into clear execution
• Owning planning, metrics, reporting and operating cadence
• Driving cross-functional projects across product, engineering, commercial and ops
• Helping build internal systems before the company scales
• Supporting hiring, fundraising, investor updates and board materials
• Becoming the person who brings structure, speed and accountability across the business
