We care more about growth potential than exact skills and experience fit. Our field is always evolving, and we embrace learning as we go. If you meet many of the criteria below but not all of them, we encourage you to apply anyway!
The seniority of this role is flexible - whether you're a seasoned operator ready to take on significant leadership responsibilities, or a high-potential candidate eager to stretch into the role, we encourage you to apply.

- Supporting fundraising efforts and managing relationships with investors and external partners
- Planning and executing company offsites and culture-building initiatives
- Collaborating with founders on strategic projects (e.g. a new product roadmap)
- Helping us recruit & retain top talent, through hiring, HR, and cultural projects and processes
- As we grow, building and managing operations and cross-functional teams to drive key initiatives
What you bring to the table:
- Genuine passion for our mission -- the safe flourishing of humanity alongside AI -- and an impact mindset in everything you do.
- Consistent, efficient execution toward goals
- The ability to rapidly ship “80/20” MVPs while still meeting project requirements
- Experience building and scaling processes, balanced with flexibility and empathy
- Experience selecting and managing external vendors, including SaaS products, professional services, and contractors
- Strong people and stakeholder management skills
- Quick learner who can apply new skills pragmatically to achieve outcomes
- Excellence in both independent and collaborative work
- Resourcefulness and good problem solving skills
- Proficiency with modern tools, including AI, to amplify your productivity
- Ability to thrive in our remote-first environment (note: we’ll cover the cost of a co-working space, if that’s your preference!)
Nice to haves:
- Experience working in both US and Australian business environments (our two main geographies)
- Experience working in a high-growth startup
- Experience in relevant systems we use (or similar): Xero, Slack, Rippling, Google Workspace, Notion
- Domain expertise in relevant operational areas (top areas: HR / people ops, finance, go-to-market)
Compensation:
- Competitive salary based on experience & locale. We believe in paying fairly and rewarding top talent.
- Generous stock options that give you a stake in the company's success. Equity from 0.1% to 1%, depending on skills and background.
- Larger equity amounts may be considered for more senior candidates keen and able to take on greater responsibility.
Geographic location & collaboration hours
As a remote-first team, it's important we find time to collaborate and support one another. To help facilitate this, we have a “collaboration hours” policy. We use this time for stand-ups, brainstorming sessions, pair programming sessions, and other meetings.
Our collaboration hours are 10pm - 3am UTC. You can be based in any geography worldwide, as long as you are generally available during these hours on work days.
Collaboration hours are a general rule of thumb, not a hard requirement. We understand that you may have some non-work needs (e.g. caregiver responsibilities, recovering from illness, personal emergencies) on certain days. As long as you communicate with your team and manager and are generally available during collaboration hours, that works for us.
