About the role

The Specialty Travel & Events Business Operations team is built to solve our organization's most critical, emergent challenges across business, product, and operations.

Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Experience: 4–6 years of experience in business operations, strategy, or a highly strategic cross-functional operations role in a fast-paced environment
  • Influence Without Authority: Proven track record of managing cross-functional relationships, building alignment, and driving results across diverse teams without direct management authority

  • Education: BA or BS degree (or equivalent practical experience)
  • Collaborative & Growth-Minded: You love being in rooms with brilliant people who challenge you. Instead of feeling intimidated, you use those environments as fuel to grow, learn, and elevate your own capabilities
