About the role

Coast’s biggest initiatives cross every team. You’ll own them: get the right people aligned, keep the work moving, and make sure it lands. As a Business Operations Associate, that someone is you. You’ll own and run cross-functional projects tied to Coast’s top priorities, from first scoping to final handoff. You’ll work with leaders across the company, so you’ll need to be credible with executives and just as comfortable in the details with the people doing the work. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 2-4 years in business operations, project or program management, strategy and operations, consulting, or a similar role. Fintech, SaaS, or financial services is preferred
  • Proven track record of running cross-functional projects with many stakeholders and shipping them on time
  • AI-native mindset: you already use AI tools in your daily work, you’ve built something with them (a workflow, an automation, an agent, a prompt library), and you’re excited to push further
  • Strong structured thinking: you can take an ambiguous problem and turn it into a clear plan
  • Excellent written and verbal communication. You can brief an executive in two minutes and write the doc that gets a team aligned
  • Strong analytical instincts: comfortable with data, spreadsheets, and spotting trends, and able to turn them into a recommendation. SQL and low-code tools are a plus, and you’re willing to learn them
