Business Operations & Strategy Manager at Scale AI in San Francisco. Drives mission-critical initiatives across product, engineering, and sales through structured problem-solving, data analysis, and cross-functional partnership. Role involves strategic projects, operational systems design, and eventual team leadership.
Scale exists to accelerate the development of AI applications. We believe that creating and harnessing the power of AI is both wildly ambitious and the most impactful opportunity we can be working on. To that end, we are looking for a very specific candidate for the Business Operations & Strategy team - a hard charging generalist that is obsessed with impact, deeply analytical, low ego, and ready to embrace the intensity required to achieve our goals. If you are an experienced operator who excels at solving hard problems while building strong teams and relationships, we want to hear from you!
The team
The Business Operations & Strategy team is a tight-knit group that drives mission-critical initiatives across the breadth of Scale, supporting product, engineering, sales, marketing, and core operations by providing planning, analytical, operational, and strategic support.
As Scale continues to rapidly grow, most of the problems we face have ambiguous causes and unknown solutions - we cannot pattern match our way to winning. The BizOps team dives deeply into Scale’s biggest challenges on a project-basis, driving clarity and outcomes by breaking down the problem in a highly structured way. This means that every member of the BizOps team must be highly operational, ready to shift between strategic, cross-functional projects and rolling up our sleeves to run day-to-day operations; no job or task is too small.
