Junior Ops Associate

Company Description: Defence-focused AI software startup

Job Description:
You will act as a force multiplier for senior leadership in a high-stakes, fast-paced environment. This role involves managing complex logistics, operational hygiene, and coordination to remove bottlenecks. You will execute autonomously from partial context, ensuring the organization maintains a high execution ceiling while developing autonomous software for critical applications.

Location: London, UK

Why this role is remarkable:

  • Work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI software and critical global security challenges in a high-intensity environment.

  • Join a well-funded startup backed by top-tier VCs that values judgment and execution over rigid hierarchy and process.

  • Exceptional growth trajectory with the opportunity to earn significant responsibility and move into leadership or program management roles.

What you will do:

  • Coordinate complex calendars and multi-country travel logistics for the Chief of Staff and senior leadership team.

  • Manage operational hygiene including expense tracking, document systems, data rooms, and internal SOP maintenance.

  • Conduct structured research and track high-level action items to ensure leadership commitments are met with precision.

The ideal candidate:

  • Early-career operator (0–2 years experience) with high personal standards and the ability to infer intent from ambiguity.

  • Ambitious, proactive problem-solver who applies common sense to resolve issues before escalating them to senior management.

  • Disciplined executor who is comfortable with unglamorous work and thrives in a non-traditional, high-pressure professional environment.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
