Company Overview

Our client provides outsourced finance operations and advisory for founders, CEOs, and CFOs. They support clients with services like bookkeeping, reporting, forecasting, and tax/compliance — helping leaders run their businesses with clearer numbers and stronger execution.

The team is lean and distributed, with HQ in Austin, TX. The company is early-stage and focused on building repeatable execution as client volume grows. This role exists to bring structure, clarity, and operational leverage.

-----------------------------------


Your Role

We’re hiring an Operations Manager to professionalize and scale internal operations across service delivery, team execution, and client workflows.

This is a high-ownership generalist role. You’ll build processes, create operating rhythms, and keep execution moving — but you’ll also jump into whatever needs doing (sales, marketing, support, product, internal ops). The client’s words: you should be willing to “mop the floor.”

Accounting experience is not required. If you have it, great — but the priority is operational leadership, systems thinking, and the ability to drive outcomes in ambiguous environments.


The client’s top preference

They’d love to hire someone who has been a founder (or early operator) at a previous unicorn startup — someone who has lived through real scale and can build systems fast.

-----------------------------------


You’ll:

* Build an operating picture of “how work flows today” (people, tools, handoffs, bottlenecks)

* Implement a lightweight operating rhythm (weekly priorities, check-ins, escalation paths, follow-up)

* Standardize delivery workflows across core services (intake → execution → review → client delivery)

* Create and maintain SOPs, checklists, and templates that reduce errors and rework

* Improve client onboarding and recurring touchpoints so delivery is predictable and proactive

* Set up tracking/dashboards so leadership can answer “where are we on X?” quickly

* Partner closely with leadership and functional leads to prioritize, unblock, and drive execution

* Step into cross-functional needs as required (sales support, marketing ops, customer support processes, product/ops coordination)

-----------------------------------


You Bring:

* Founder / early operator experience in a high-growth startup environment (unicorn experience strongly preferred)

* Demonstrated ability to operate across functions (sales, marketing, support, product, ops) — and willingness to do unglamorous work when needed

* Strong process and project management skills (SOPs, checklists, operating rhythms, dashboards)

* AI proficiency: comfortable using AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT/Claude/Copilot) to draft, summarize, analyze, and automate routine work

* Excellent written and spoken English (clear async communication)

* High ownership + low ego: you follow through, you fix what’s broken, and you don’t wait to be asked

* Strong judgment and ability to prioritize under deadlines

-----------------------------------


Bonus Points:

* Experience in finance/accounting/tax operations (helpful, not required)

* Experience supporting distributed teams across time zones

* Comfort with tools like Notion, Google Workspace, Slack, Asana/Jira, or similar systems

-----------------------------------


What’s Offered:

* Remote role with US Central Time overlap required

* Competitive USD compensation (based on experience)

* High-autonomy, high-impact position with direct partnership with the Founder / Managing Director

-----------------------------------


Interview Process

1️⃣ Recruiter / intro screen — background, motivation, communication

2️⃣ Hiring manager interview — examples of systems you’ve built + how you run execution

3️⃣ Practical exercise — design a 30-day operating plan + tracker for a services team

4️⃣ Final conversation — leadership alignment and expectations

-----------------------------------


🔴 Important Note

This role is built for a hands-on operator. If you prefer narrow scope, heavy structure, or strategy-only work without execution ownership, it will not be a fit.
