Job description

Launch Associate – Business Operations

Location: San Francisco, CA
Experience: MBA or equivalent required

Mission

Launch. Scale. Repeat.

We're building new markets and products fast. You’ll own launches end-to-end—strategy, ops, execution. No hand-holding, no playbook. You figure it out, fix what’s broken, and ship.

This role is not for spectators. You’ll need stamina, systems thinking, and a bias toward action. Expect chaos. Bring order.

What You’ll Do
  • Own Launches – Build and run go-to-market plans for locations. Research, plan, align, execute. Zero to one.

  • Analyze & Decide – Use data to find leverage. Spot bottlenecks, move fast, make calls.

  • Systemize Everything – Build processes that scale. Automate or eliminate.

  • Drive Cross-Functional Execution – Get product, growth, legal, CX, and finance moving in sync. No silos.

  • Define Success – Build dashboards, track KPIs, iterate.

  • Fail Fast, Learn Faster – Run experiments, kill what's not working, double down on what does.

You
  • MBA or equivalent in consulting, ops, strategy, or startup grit.

  • 2–5 years in business ops, consulting, finance, or fast-growth environments.

  • Sharp thinker. No fear of ambiguity.

  • Clear communicator. Can herd cats and keep them aligned.

  • Obsessed with efficiency. You hate doing the same thing twice.

  • You start things. You finish them.

Required Software Skills
  • Data & Analysis: Excel/Google Sheets (advanced modeling), SQL (working proficiency)

  • Project Management: Linear, or equivalent

  • Communication & Alignment: Slack, Docs, Slides

  • Automation & Reporting: Looker, Tableau, or similar BI tools (nice to have)
