About the role

Terac, the expert network powering frontier research, seeks a founding operator to partner with the CEO and shape core functions. You will manage key customer relationships, build out the founding team, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. In this role, you thrive in ambiguity, demonstrate exceptional judgment, and switch between strategic planning, execution, and people operations while coordinating top-priority projects and delivering on demanding timelines at a fast-growing SF startup.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
