At least 4 years of operating experience in operations, strategy and operations, business operations or general management at a high-growth technology startup, or at McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group or Bain followed by hands-on operating work.
End-to-end ownership with numbers: you have launched or run a product line, a market, a supply chain or an operations function, and you can show the revenue, cost or speed you moved.
AI-native in practice: you have built AI agents or automations that run real operations, not just prototypes, with outcomes you can measure.
Commercial instinct: you have negotiated with suppliers, partners or customers, and you enjoy sitting across the table from a buyer.
Degree from a top university in engineering, computer science, science, economics or business, with top grades.
Strong work ethic and intensity, comfortable operating onsite in San Francisco in an environment that works 8-7 on Monday to Thursday and 8-5 on Fridays.
