Operations Lead

Operations Lead at Artificial Intelligence Underwriting Company in San Francisco, United States.

Role Summary

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.

Responsibilities

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.

Requirements

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.

COMPENSATION & PERKS

• 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
