Job Description

Our client is an AI-powered procurement platform building the operating system for the $12 trillion CPG industry. They're hiring a Business Operations Manager to serve as the CEO's operational right hand, owning customer success, sales operations, recruiting, and internal systems so the CEO can focus on closing deals and building the company.

What You'll Do

  • Run weekly customer check-ins and triage customer issues across product and engineering.
  • Own CRM hygiene, pipeline reporting, and prepare prospect briefings and demo materials for active deals.
  • Manage the recruiting pipeline — sourcing candidates, scheduling, and running first screens for non-executive roles.
  • Coordinate BDR standups, review outbound sequences, and flag coaching opportunities to the CEO.
  • Build internal automations and AI-powered workflows to eliminate manual, repetitive work across the company.

Why Join

Be the CEO's right hand at an AI-powered procurement platform building the operating system for the $12T CPG industry. Direct CEO partnership, real ownership across customer success, sales ops, recruiting, and internal systems — and the chance to shape how the company scales from the inside out.

  • 2–6 years total experience — pre-MBA profile; no overly senior candidates (>8 years)
