What we hire for
Hire AI-enabled operators
The advantage now is leverage. We help startups hire business people who use AI tools fluently to do the work of a larger team — across sales, marketing, operations, research and decision-making.
AI-enabled operators are not engineers. They are commercial, marketing and operations people who have rebuilt how they work around AI tools — automating the busywork, accelerating research, and producing more without more headcount. We assess genuine, applied AI fluency, not buzzwords on a CV.
Roles we hire
Leverage, not just headcount
A lean team where everyone uses AI well can outproduce a larger team that doesn't. For a startup watching runway, that difference is decisive.
We look for people who can show, concretely, how AI changed their output — the workflows they automated, the time they reclaimed, and the judgement they kept in the loop. Tooling changes monthly; what we vet for is the operator's ability to learn and apply it fast.
What we screen for
- Specific, demonstrable AI workflows that improved real outcomes.
- Strong underlying business judgement — AI amplifies it, it doesn't replace it.
- Learning speed and curiosity, since the tools keep moving.
- Discernment about where automation helps and where a human must stay in control.
FAQ
Common questions
What is an AI-enabled operator?
A business person — in sales, marketing, operations or research — who uses AI tools fluently to work faster and produce more, without needing a larger team. They are not software engineers.
How do you assess AI skills?
We ask for concrete examples of workflows they've built or automated and the outcomes those produced, rather than relying on claimed familiarity with tools.
Can these operators work across functions?
Often, yes. Many AI-enabled operators are strong generalists who suit founder's-office, Chief of Staff and operations roles in lean teams.
