About the role
We are looking for an Operations Manager who treats operations as a product rather than a back office — someone who builds the infrastructure that lets a small team and a changing set of projects move quickly without breaking things. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Independent operator: You run your own function. You do not need a queue handed to you, and you are comfortable being the one who decides when nobody else is going to
- Good judgment about the decision ladder: You can tell the difference between a call to make and move on, a call to make and then tell us about, and a call to bring to us first — and you get that right most of the time
- Thrives in ambiguity: Comfortable starting before the process exists, writing the manual rather than waiting for one, and rewriting it when the portfolio changes shape
- Financial fluency: You can read a monthly P&L, hold outside accountants to a close calendar, build and maintain budgets, and spot the number that looks wrong
- Fund and entity administration: Comfort with entity setup, insurance, registrations, and working alongside outside counsel and accountants
- An instinct for other people’s blind spots: You notice what is about to be missed, what is coming around the corner, and raise it early
More about this role
We are a private design studio that builds and supports a portfolio of companies and projects across software, hardware, hospitality, and more. Some of what we build stays in house; some spins out. We also run an early-stage investment fund and an accompanying cohort program for founders. This company is not Expa, but is an affiliate of Expa's.
We are looking for an Operations Manager who treats operations as a product rather than a back office — someone who builds the infrastructure that lets a small team and a changing set of projects move quickly without breaking things.
The role is weighted toward our fund and cohort program, which will take roughly 60% of your time. The other 40% supports the rest of the portfolio: reviewing the monthly financials, keeping budgets honest, handling insurance and registrations, routing work between legal, finance, and engineering, and making sure each project gets set up properly and stays ahead of what it owes. Most of our project leads are engineers, and designers focused on their product. You are the person who notices the insurance renewal, the registration deadline, or the contract that never got countersigned — and gets it handled.
