About Salient

Salient automates collections, servicing, regulatory audit, insurance claims, and dispute resolution for consumer lenders. Backed by Y Combinator and a16z.

About the role

You'll sit in the Founder's Office and act as force-multiplier to the CEO and leadership team. This is not a "coordination" role—this is an execution role. You'll take ambiguous, cross-functional problems (GTM, product ops, compliance ops, customer delivery, internal cadence) and drive them to crisp plans, clear owners, and shipped outcomes.

What they're looking for

  • High-agency operator: you proactively diagnose problems and drive solutions end-to-end
  • Structured thinker: you write clearly, make crisp plans, and turn ambiguity into concrete next steps
  • Low ego, high standards: you do what it takes, and you care about quality
  • Fast learner: you can ramp quickly in complex, regulated domains
  • Trustworthy: you handle sensitive information with discretion
  • Comfortable with intensity: early-stage pace, shifting priorities, and high expectations
