Skills

• A product-minded operator: you bridge the gap between operations and product, fluent in both languages and credible in both rooms
• A strong cross-functional leader: you've worked effectively across Engineering, Product, Legal, Finance, and external partners to drive outcomes

• Hands-on experience implementing AI-driven automation in operational workflows
• Experience building and scaling proprietary systems that evolve with organizational growth and adapt to operational change

• Demonstrated track record of building and running contractor onboarding, payments, and compliance infrastructure at scale
• Prior experience at a talent marketplace, gig economy platform, or staffing technology company is strongly preferred
• Bachelor's degree required; MBA or equivalent experience a plus
