## About the role

Lighting AI is looking for a Senior Operations Specialist to sit within our centralized Operations Team. The role of the Ops team at Lightning is to enable Lightning to operate with greater velocity, efficiency, connectivity, and context. And whether operating, owning, or building, you’re putting AI at the heart of everything – agents, workflows, connections, and automation give your work leverage, speed, and sustainability.

## What they're looking for

- 4+ years of experience in operations or consulting (or any high-agency, high-ownership experience that gave you a meaningful combination of both)
- Demonstrated end-to-end project ownership – from problem diagnosis and stakeholder alignment through build, launch, and adoption – with clear, self-reported metrics on impact delivered
- Track record of diagnosing problems and driving change across multiple stakeholder groups (not just making recommendations)
- Meaningful experience with third-party APIs and SaaS platforms, workflow automation tools (Zapier, Make, n8n, Airflow), and AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
- Strong analytical thinking -- you can go from raw data to insight to action
- Prior experience in a high-growth startup environment
