About the role
We're searching for passionate individuals eager to contribute to Alpaca's rapid growth. If you align with our core values—Stay Curious, Have Empathy, and Be Accountable—and are ready to make a significant impact, we encourage you to apply.
What they're looking for
- Builder-operator with end-to-end ownership. Proven track record taking ambiguous, high-stakes problems from zero context to measurable outcome. You don't hand off recommendations and walk away
- Systems thinker who learns fast. Able to parachute into unfamiliar domains, map workflows/capacity/decision systems, diagnose root cause, and become effective without deep prior subject-matter expertise
- Influence without authority. Proven ability to mobilize cross-functional teams, partner with senior stakeholders, and drive adoption among people who don't report to you
- Prioritization and judgment. Able to distinguish root cause from symptoms, focus on what matters, and push back with evidence when scope drifts
- Analytical rigor. Comfortable establishing metrics, measuring before/after, and using data, not anecdotes, to diagnose problems and prove impact
- High ownership through implementation. You finish what you start. Adoption and lasting change matter as much as the design
