About the role

As we approach Series C, the way we plan and operate needs to scale with us. Today that work is spread across the exec team. We're hiring someone to own Axion's coordination engine: how the company sets goals, measures progress, and stays aligned. This is our first BizOps hire. You'll report to the CEO and work closely with the Head of Finance/Ops and the exec team. It's a build-and-run role: you'll stand up the function while it's already carrying live planning cycles. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 5 to 8+ years in BizOps, strategy and operations, or Chief of Staff roles, ideally at a high-growth B2B company
  • You've built a planning and review cadence from scratch, not inherited one
  • You're strongly analytical (SQL, spreadsheets, BI tools) and ask "can AI do this?" before adding process or headcount
  • You write clearly and can turn messy inputs into board-ready material
  • Series B/C experience. You've been at a company as it scaled through those stages
  • Domain background. Enterprise SaaS, industrial, or technical B2B
