Job description

What we're doing
We're building the AI-powered coaching platform that transforms how gamers learn, compete, and win. Backed by a16z with $12M raised, we're live in 5 titles with 100K+ users and rapidly expanding into new games, hardware partnerships, and SDK integrations.


We're hiring a Business Operations Associate to join our core team and work directly with the founders to build the backbone of our business. This is a unique opportunity to help scale the world's first AI coaching platform for gamers at the intersection of gaming and AI.


What You'll Do


Strategy & Analysis

  • Partner with the Head of Product & CEO on core strategic initiatives (B2B + B2C).
  • Lead market analysis, competitive deep dives, and opportunity sizing to identify trends, customer needs, and emerging opportunities.
  • Build business cases and quantitative models that inform go/no-go decisions on new games, partnerships, and investment bets.
  • Help chase down ambiguous, zero-to-one problems , from hypothesis to framework to action plan.

Ops & Execution

  • Build the operating backbone: architect workflows, OKRs, and business review processes that scale with the company.
  • Drive cross-functional initiatives across Product, Partnerships, and Marketing to ensure alignment and delivery.
  • Create leverage for leadership by taking point on pitch decks, proposals, and high-stakes projects that require polish and speed.

Growth Enablement

  • Support partnerships and BD with market research, TAMs, and strategic storytelling.
  • Help track product performance and translate insights into prioritized business actions.
  • Translate product and market learnings into clear narratives for investors, partners, and internal stakeholders.


Skills You'll Bring

  • 2+ years experience in a fast-paced, analytical role (e.g., chief of staff, bizops, VC/PE, banking, consulting, or growth-focused roles at a high-growth tech company).
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to synthesize data into strategic insights
  • First-principles thinker who can structure ambiguous problems into clear frameworks.
  • Outstanding communication can craft executive-level decks and align stakeholders.
  • Relentlessly resourceful - you move fast, solve problems without a playbook, and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty.
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail and follow-through.


You Will Not Enjoy This Role If...

  • You prefer a narrow lane or a fixed playbook.
  • You avoid rolling up your sleeves and tackling operational details.
  • You're uncomfortable balancing strategy with execution.
  • You don't enjoy gaming, AI, or exploring how new technologies reshape industries.
