You are AI-first in how you work: you use AI every day to move faster and help the teams around you do the same. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Experience establishing, running, and reporting on OKRs or a similar goal-setting framework with senior leaders

  • Experience scoping, planning, and delivering large, multi-team technical programs, including programs with budgets over $1M and close work with finance and procurement
  • Working understanding of DevOps and CI/CD concepts (such as infrastructure as code and automated deployments) and how they shape planning and delivery. Hands-on experience is not required
