Founding Ops
Build the people, finance, and recruiting operations that support a growing team.
About the role
You will be the first dedicated operator at Zaun. People ops, finance ops, recruiting, and the operating cadence that keeps a small team aligned through clear decisions and well-run processes.
This is a player-coach role with the player part being most of it for the first year. You will scope and ship work independently and bring in vendors and contractors where it makes sense.
What you will do
- Own recruiting operations: pipeline, scheduling, offers, closing
- Run people ops: comp, equity, onboarding, benefits, payroll
- Own finance ops: bookkeeping, AP/AR, monthly close with the firm
- Set up and run the GA, BI, and RevOps stack
- Build the rhythms: weekly all-hands, planning, board prep
What you bring
- Five or more years across operations at startups, including time before Series B
- Generalist who can scope and ship without supervision
- Strong written communicator with attention to detail
- Able to identify missing work, set priorities, and follow through
Additional experience
- Past work as a chief of staff or BizOps lead
- Comfort with SQL, basic data work, and modern AI tools
