About Knowtex

Knowtex is building the future of voice AI for clinical care — transforming how documentation happens at the point of care so clinicians can focus on what matters most: their patients. Founded by Stanford AI scientists with deep clinical expertise, we're scaling rapidly across commercial health systems and federal healthcare, bringing our ambient documentation platform to thousands of clinicians across hundreds of specialties. We're at an inflection point where cutting-edge AI meets real clinical impact, and we're building the team to match.

The Role

We are looking for a sharp, resourceful Business Operations Manager to serve as a force multiplier for our Head of Operations. This is a high-ownership, high-visibility generalist role designed for someone who thrives on complexity, moves fast, and brings structure to ambiguity across multiple operational domains.

You will own critical workstreams across marketing operations, people operations, compliance, tooling, and vendor management — reporting directly to the Head of Operations and interfacing closely with senior leadership. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced operator who wants to make a real impact at a high-growth company in healthcare AI.

• Support performance review cycles, helping managers stay on track with timelines and documentation

Compliance & Security Awareness

• Operate with a strong understanding of high-trust and security-sensitive environments relevant to Knowtex’s business, including SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and FedRAMP
• Ensure internal tools, processes, and vendor relationships meet applicable compliance requirements
• Support audit preparation and documentation for ongoing compliance programs
• Surface and escalate potential compliance gaps across operational workflows

OKRs, Metrics & Dashboards

• Own tool administration, access management, and onboarding/offboarding provisioning
• Evaluate tools for compliance fit and security requirements before adoption
• Proactively identify and execute tool integrations to improve cross-functional workflows
• Document and maintain operational processes and SOPs as the company scales

• Familiarity with vendor and contract management processes
• Comfortable owning tool administration and exploring integrations without heavy technical hand-holding
• Experience in conference/event planning, including budget management, logistics coordination, and ROI tracking
• Proactive, low-ego, and ownership-oriented — you notice what needs to be done and you do it
• Strong attention to detail, especially with financial, HR, and compliance documentation
• Clear, concise written and verbal communication; discretion when handling sensitive information

Bonus Points For

• Experience with social media management, paid ad campaigns, or demand generation
