Founding Business Operations & Commercial Lead

SignalCore is building decision infrastructure for the enterprise AI era — helping companies evaluate, compare, and manage AI systems based on evidence, not demos or claims. We're early, the problem is large and timely, and we're moving fast.

We're a small founding team with deep enterprise software experience — multiple prior startups, and a track record selling into hundreds of enterprises. (We'll share more on the thesis and the team in conversation.)

The role

We're hiring a high-output operator to work directly with the CEO during the company's earliest, most formative stage. This is a utility-player seat: you'll turn ambiguous priorities into execution across operations, commercial, customer learning, and recruiting. It's not pure ops, not pure commercial, and not a traditional chief of staff role — the job is to help the company move faster, stay organized, and convert strategy into shipped work.

What you'll own

• Operating cadence — priorities, owners, follow-ups, weekly goals, and decision docs that keep the team aligned and moving.
• Commercial execution — target lists, outbound campaigns, message testing, and reading which segments and use cases pull hardest.
• Design partner & customer learning — shepherding early relationships from first conversation through evaluation, feedback, and internal synthesis.
• Product feedback loops — turning customer and design-partner signal into clear themes and roadmap inputs.
• Recruiting support — sourcing, candidate research, interview coordination, and pipeline tracking on key roles.
• AI-first workflows — owning and driving how the company uses AI to accelerate research, outreach, synthesis, and automation. This isn't AI as a nice-to-have; we want someone who builds it into how we work.

You might be a fit if

You can make a strong, evidence-backed case that you've done work like this before — turning ambiguity into structure, driving follow-through, and helping a fast-moving team execute across commercial, product, and operating workflows.

We're open to traditional and non-traditional paths: business or startup operations, consulting, chief of staff, growth, venture, banking, commercial ops, or any other high-intensity execution environment.

Not a fit if

You want high-level strategy without grinding through the details — outreach, follow-up, research, execution. The right person moves comfortably between an outreach campaign, a Notion dashboard, a feedback synthesis, and a CEO priority doc, sometimes in the same day.

Location

Bay Area strongly preferred. Open to selectively considering other U.S. locations.
