About us

We're a Y Combinator W26 company building a premium hardware plus software product in the AI voice recorder space. We are obsessed with quality and speed, scaling fast in the US and now European markets, and building a device experience that can become the category leader.

Connect directly with the founder of one of the best YC-funded startups.

The role

A high-ownership generalist who takes on whatever matters most at the time. The mandate is broad and shifts as we grow - one week it's a growth experiment, the next it's standing up financial reporting or untangling a messy operational problem. This is hands-on work across every business function: operations, finance, growth, marketing, sales, support, product, fundraising, and more. You take things to completion yourself.

What you'll own

Early on:

Own ambiguous tasks end-to-end - figure out the path when there's no playbook, then close them
Run the analyses that inform decisions and turn them into recommendations we can act on
Run and improve processes, docs, and trackers
Drive follow-ups across the team so deadlines, owners, and decisions don't slip

As you earn scope:

Own high-impact problems end-to-end - diagnose, build the fix, ship it, mostly on your own
Take on owned projects across any business function
Build and automate the systems and processes we're missing
Own the metrics and targets for an area and report on what's working
Step in as interim owner of a function until it's stood up or hired for

What we're looking for

A generalist with genuine range, drawn to owning unfamiliar problems
Strong academic background with rigorous analytical training
Reasons through complex problems and imposes structure on ambiguity
Technically literate - comfortable with systems, data, and tooling, and reaches for AI to amplify output
High ownership, strong judgment, and a bias to action; delivers end-to-end without being managed
A structured thinker who writes clearly and gets to the point
Motivated by learning and building the whole business
1+ years of experience

What we offer

Work directly with the founder and learn fast
Direct impact on how the company operates day to day
High-trust, high-responsibility environment
Competitive compensation ($100K-$120K)
A path to a function-owner role, or Chief of Staff
