Are you the person everyone relies on to make things happen?
Do you thrive in fast-moving environments where ownership is valued over hierarchy, and execution matters more than endless planning?
We're partnering with an innovative, venture-backed technology business at the intersection of consumer technology, digital experiences, and emerging AI-driven innovation.
As the company continues to scale, they're looking for a Business Operations Associate to become a critical force multiplier for the leadership team.
This is an opportunity to sit at the heart of a high-growth, fully remote organisation, helping remove operational friction, streamline workflows, and create leverage across the business.
The Opportunity
Working closely with senior leadership, you'll take ownership of the operational systems, processes, and day-to-day activities that keep the organisation moving efficiently.
This is not a strategy or consulting role. It's ideal for someone who takes genuine pride in execution, organisation, and building systems that simply work.
What You'll Be Doing
- Supporting senior leaders by owning and delivering operational activities that maximise their focus and effectiveness
- Conducting targeted research and industry mapping to accelerate decision-making
- Managing and improving key business processes including onboarding, offboarding, documentation, tooling, workflows, and operational logistics
- Acting as the first point of contact for internal operational requests and driving issues through to resolution
- Identifying inefficiencies and implementing practical improvements
- Leveraging AI tools and automation to eliminate manual work, improve quality, and increase operational efficiency
- Coordinating cross-functional activities across people, operations, product, and leadership teams
What We're Looking For
- Minimum 1 year of experience in an Operations, Business Operations, People Operations, or similar role within a Seed or Series A startup
- Experience working within a fully remote, globally distributed team
- Strong organisational skills with a natural inclination towards process improvement
- Comfortable operating independently and taking ownership of outcomes
- Experience supporting multiple stakeholders in a fast-paced environment
- Exposure to:
- People Operations
- Business Operations and logistics
- Cross-functional collaboration with product and engineering teams
- A proactive, low-ego approach and willingness to handle both strategic and administrative responsibilities
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to turn ambiguous requests into actionable outcomes
AI-Native Mindset Required
We're particularly interested in candidates who naturally use AI tools to:
- Research and synthesise information
- Draft and summarise content
- Automate repetitive tasks
- Improve productivity and workflow efficiency
- Reduce operational overhead across teams
You'll Enjoy This Role If You...
- Love creating order from complexity
- Take satisfaction from solving problems before others notice them
- Enjoy building systems and processes that scale
- Are energised by autonomy and accountability
- Prefer execution and impact over corporate bureaucracy
What's on Offer
- Fully remote working environment
- High levels of autonomy and trust
- Direct exposure to senior leadership
- Opportunity to make a visible impact within a growing technology business
If you're an ambitious operations professional who enjoys solving problems, building systems, and creating leverage for others, we'd love to hear from you.
