Founding Ops

The Prompting Company is hiring Founding Ops to take the company off the founders' plates.

We're 7 people in San Francisco, post-seed, with real customers. The founders are still doing too much of recruiting, finance, legal, vendors, and internal systems. You will own that.

This is a true founding role. You will build the operating system of the company: hiring ops, finance/admin, legal/vendors, tools, office, and the glue that lets GTM and engineering move faster. There is no ops team and no playbook. You'll write it.

What you'll do

• Run recruiting ops end to end (pipeline, scheduling, offers, onboarding)
• Own finance and admin: billing, vendors, payroll coordination, contracts
• Set up and keep internal tools actually working (Slack, Google, customer systems)
• Make SF office and in-person operations work
• Spot process holes before they become founder time sinks

You might be a fit if you've

• Run ops, chief of staff, or founding-ops at a real startup (not campus clubs)
• Graduated and already held a real job. This is not a first-job seat.
• Are high-agency, detail-obsessed, and fine with incomplete information
• Are in San Francisco or will relocate. This is not remote.

Interview Process

1. Intro call with the founder (background, motivation, fit)
2. Walk through an ops system you built and what broke
3. Practical exercise (how you'd run hiring ops for two concurrent founding roles)
4. Final conversation on ownership, pace, and long-term growth

The whole process usually runs in about one to two weeks. Every stage is with a founder, so you get fast, direct feedback and a clear picture of the role. We keep the practical exercise short and will never ask for spec work beyond a couple of hours. Expect candid conversations about which internal systems already exist, what is broken, and exactly what you would own in the first ninety days.
