This is a core operator role sitting directly alongside the CEO of an AI-native consumer health and wellness company. You'll own high-impact work across operations, growth, and finance — turning ambiguous problems into structured decisions and executed solutions in a lean, no-bureaucracy environment where your contributions are felt immediately.
Partner directly with the CEO to structure and solve high-stakes, ambiguous business problems end-to-end.
Support day-to-day operations across fulfillment, customer experience, supply chain coordination, and internal workflows.
Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies, then design and build AI-driven systems to eliminate them.
Use AI to scan the market for new products and ingredients, translating signals into a prioritized sourcing pipeline.
Build automated supplier discovery, qualification, and outreach workflows that operate at scale.
Design AI-assisted negotiation workflows covering pricing, MOQs, and contract terms from first contact to signature.
Support growth initiatives across marketing, experimentation, and performance tracking.
Develop financial models, dashboards, and reporting tools grounded in real unit economics.
Leverage AI, automation, and low-code platforms to replace manual effort with scalable systems across all functions.
Own ad-hoc, high-priority projects and move fluidly between strategy and hands-on execution.
Degree from a top-tier university in engineering, science, mathematics, business, or a related field.
Hands-on experience building AI-powered systems, automation workflows, or low-code solutions with measurable outcomes (e.g., Make, Zapier, n8n, Claude API, or equivalent).
Strong technical fluency — candidates from a business background should have demonstrated self-taught coding ability; engineering or science candidates should show applied AI/automation experience.
Experience building financial models, dashboards, or BI tools for forecasting, unit economics, or performance analysis.
Background in operational analysis, process optimization, or supply chain workflows across fulfillment, sourcing, or logistics.
Experience conducting market research, supplier discovery, or vendor evaluation and negotiation.
Proven ability to own projects end-to-end — from problem definition through execution and outcome measurement.
High agency, strong work ethic, and genuine hunger for responsibility and growth in a fast-paced environment.
Nice to have: experience in e-commerce, DTC, or membership models; growth analysis or A/B testing; content creation or community engagement; familiarity with functional nutrition or consumer products.
Salary range: $120,000 – $140,000 USD per year. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
On-site in San Francisco, California, five days per week. This is a high-collaboration role requiring full-time in-office presence.
