Job description: The Prompting Company is hiring Founding Ops to take the company off the founders' plates. We're 7 people in San Francisco, post-seed, with real customers. The founders are still doing too much of recruiting, finance, legal, vendors, and internal systems. You will own that. This is a true founding role. You will build the operating system of the company: hiring ops, finance/admin, legal/vendors, tools, office, and the glue that lets GTM and engineering move faster. There is no ops team and no playbook. You'll write it. **What you'll do** * Run recruiting ops end to end (pipeline, scheduling, offers, onboarding) * Own finance and admin: billing, vendors, payroll coordination, contracts * Set up and keep internal tools actually working (Slack, Google, customer systems) * Make SF office and in-person operations work * Spot process holes before they become founder time sinks **You might be a fit if you've** * Run ops, chief of staff, or founding-ops at a real startup (not campus clubs) * Graduated and already held a real job. This is not a first-job seat. * Are high-agency, detail-obsessed, and fine with incomplete information * Are in San Francisco or will relocate. This is not remote. **About The Prompting Company** We help products get discovered and used by AI agents. You optimized for user experience. Now optimize for Agent Experience.
