Business Operations Support Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Role
We're looking for a Business Operations Lead to serve as a central force driving clarity, alignment, and execution across Samaya AI.
You'll report directly to the CEO and operate at the intersection of every function in the business - Product, GTM, Engineering, and Operations. You'll own high-stakes strategic projects and shape how the company makes decisions.
The right candidate has seen scale before a high-growth tech company, or in a Chief of Staff or senior BizOps capacity at a well-regarded organisation. You know how to build structure without creating bureaucracy, move fast without losing rigour, and influence without authority. You thrive in ambiguity and leave things better than you found them.
This is a rare opportunity to work at the centre of one of the most exciting companies in AI - with direct exposure to leadership, investors, and the strategic decisions that will define Samaya's next chapter.
Responsibilities

• Drive cross-functional alignment - serve as a connective force across Product, GTM, Engineering, and Operations, ensuring the business moves with clarity, speed, and alignment at every stage of growth
• Be a true CEO partner - work directly with the CEO on the company's highest-priority strategic initiatives, from investor relations and board materials to internal planning and organisational decision-making
• Own cross-functional execution - drive end-to-end delivery of complex, high-stakes projects spanning GTM, including pricing strategy, market entry, and revenue operations, ensuring timelines, stakeholders, and outcomes are well managed
• Be the financial backbone - consolidate and synthesise company financials, build models that inform strategic decisions, and surface insights that keep leadership ahead of the curve
• Own the operating rhythm - lead quarterly planning end-to-end with the leadership team, setting the tempo for how Samaya prioritises, executes, and holds itself accountable

Experience
Required

• Senior operating experience - 7+ years in BizOps, Chief of Staff, Strategy, or a closely related role at a high-growth tech company, top-tier consulting firm, or similarly demanding environment
• Structured problem-solver - you turn ambiguous, open-ended problems into clear plans and decisions, with the analytical horsepower to reason from first principles
• Financial fluency - strong grasp of SaaS financials and modeling; you've built the models that sat behind real strategic and board decisions
• Executive-grade communication - you've produced board and investor materials that senior leaders trusted and shipped without heavy editing
• GTM and commercial context - you've operated close to go-to-market, pricing, or revenue in a fast-moving B2B/enterprise setting
• Startup operating style - comfort with pace, ambiguity, and high accountability; you build the plane while flying it and make it look easy
• AI fluency - demonstrated use of AI tools to improve how you work, not just familiarity with the concept

Preferred

• Consulting or investment background - experience in financial services, investment banking, at a top management consulting firm, or similarly rigorous analytical environment
• People leadership - prior experience managing or mentoring people in a fast-moving organisation

Personal Attributes

• Calm under pressure - you bring steadiness and clear thinking when things are moving fast or stakes are high
• Collaborative - you know that the best results come from working well with others, and you invest in those relationships
• Commercially minded - you understand how operational decisions connect to business outcomes and keep that lens on your work
• Curious and rigorous - you ask good questions, go deep when it matters, and don't accept surface-level answers
• Honest and direct - you communicate with candour and build trust through consistency and follow-through
• Highly organised - you hold many threads simultaneously without dropping any, and you bring structure to chaos

Compensation
The cash compensation range for this role is $180,000-240,000.
Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including experience and expertise, and may vary from the amounts listed above.
Equity components may also be considered as part of the overall compensation package.
Benefits
Health:Access comprehensive health insurance, including medical, dental, vision, flexible spending account (FSA), and short-term disability.
Wealth: Support for your long-term financial wellbeing with a 401(k) and pre-tax benefits (e.g. commuting).
Rest: Enjoy flexibility to rest and recharge as needed, with unlimited PTO (Paid Time Off).
Flexibility:Work flexibly with a hybrid setup - typically team members spend a minimum of three days in the office per week.
Travel:Grow and connect with a travel budget that encourages conference attendance, customer visits, and team gatherings.
Equipment: Create your ideal workspace with an office Equipment allowance to set up what works best for you.
Inclusive Hiring
Interview Accommodations: We are committed to ensuring an equitable selection process for everyone and welcome applicants from varied backgrounds to enrich our team. If you require accommodations or adjustments during our recruitment process, please inform us.
Equal Opportunity Employer: We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, genetic information, age, membership in an employee organization, retaliation, parental status, military service, or other non-merit factor.
Visa Sponsorship: We do sponsor visas! However, we aren't able to successfully sponsor visas for every role and every candidate. If we make you an offer, we will make every reasonable effort to get you a visa, and we retain an immigration lawyer to help with this.
About Samaya
Samaya builds Expert AI Agents that turn information from the global financial market into investment conviction.
The global financial market is the largest and most valuable information ecosystem in the world, connecting billions of people, influencing every type of productive human activity, and driving tens of trillions of dollars of value. At its core is investment decision-making: identifying areas of productive activity, allocating resources, carried out by millions of people across the globe.
But that process is at a breaking point. The past two decades have brought an exponential increase in market complexity: more information sources, more asset types, more disruptive themes like AI reshaping every corner of the market. For investors, this means exponentially more depth, breadth, and speed required on every decision.
The response is a forced tradeoff: zoom in on a sector or basket of companies and manage the flood, but lose sight of adjacent dynamics that move markets. Or zoom out to track broad themes, but lose the needle-in-a-haystack details that drive precise decisions. No market sector evolves in isolation, and this lack of a simultaneously zoomed-in and zoomed-out picture costs hundreds of billions in missed or suboptimal investment decisions every year.
Samaya was founded to reimagine investment decision-making across the global financial market. General-purpose AI can't reason about cause and effect across complex economic systems, embed firm-specific context, or execute reliably over long-horizon workflows. We built something different: a purpose-built AI system combining proprietary financial reasoning models, a long-horizon execution engine with persistent memory, and full auditability. Built by a team from Google DeepMind, Meta, Microsoft, and Stanford with 100+ papers and 50k+ citations, it achieves 98% accuracy on financial reasoning tasks where generic LLMs reach 53%. The result is AI that learns how each investor thinks and seamlessly takes them from information to conviction.
Our user base has scaled to 10,000+, with partnerships spanning top financial institutions worldwide, including Morgan Stanley. We're backed by $43.5M in Series A funding led by NEA, with investors including Eric Schmidt, NVIDIA, Databricks, Yann LeCun, Jeff Dean, Marty Chavez, and Mark Cuban.
Our Operating Principles
Put Users first. Our users rely on us to do their jobs. We exist because our users trust us to help them achieve their goals. In return for this trust users place in us, we keep their needs as our top priority.
Win as a collective. We are high achievers with a drive to succeed. We build strong bonds over this shared drive. We dive in to help when one of us needs it. We're kind to each other and boost each other to succeed and grow professionally and personally. We build trust with each other by making commitments and consistently delivering on them. This trust means we genuinely support each other, embracing feedback as a tool for growth and improvement. We win by operating this way, as one team.
Focus and iterate quickly. Bias for action makes us build and learn quickly. Iterating fast requires clarity on what outcomes we are targeting and why. Prioritizing the important things, taking full ownership and initiative, making fast initial progress, and rapid iterations lead to the best outcomes.
Innovate Relentlessly. We pursue novel insights, challenging the status quo and reimagining how things are done. We aren't attached to the past when improving our product and how we work in the future. We actively invest time in innovation, thinking "outside the box" to consistently raise our standards.
Prioritize Outcomes over Egos. We are committed not to a person, an idea, or an opinion but to continuously making progress to our goals. Sometimes, our goals are ambiguous; in those moments, we iterate, learn, and move on to the next inquiry. We ask the tough questions with kindness, dropping our egos in our pursuit of evidence. For our business goals, we learn from our users. For our scientific goals, our understanding is built through rigorous experimentation, research, and observation. For our personal goals, we embrace candid feedback and collaborative learning to guide our progress.
