# Head of operations · [city] or hybrid
We are hiring our [first/second] head of operations. You will report to the [CEO/COO] and own the things the founders cannot: finance ops, vendor ops, the bits of HR that are not people, and the operating cadence of the leadership team. The company is [N] people. We are [stage]. [Who you will partner with].
## You will be good here if
- You have run ops at a [stage] company before and can describe how cash flows through it in one paragraph.
- You add and subtract process. You have killed something as recently as you have built something.
- [The third trait you actually care about].
## What you will not get
A team to delegate this to. You will be the team for the first nine months.
## Compensation
[Currency][low] to [high] base. [low] to [high] percent equity. We post the band because we mean it.
## How we hire
30-second post, screen + assessment via Picked, 20-min interview via Picked, one on-site half-day with the leadership team. We aim to give a yes or no in 7 days.
## What is the rubric
Systems instinct, bias for the boring, comms across functions, operational triage, quiet ambition. Not your last title.
That is the JD. Apply via [link] or just send a paragraph about the last process you killed.
[Your name], [your title]
