Founding Operator

This is a full-time role as a Founding Operator, located onsite in New York, NY.

We’re looking for an entrepreneurial, systems-minded operator to own and scale the backbone of Hadrius’ operations across the company. You’ll be the engine that keeps the company running smoothly, enabling the founding team to move faster and make better decisions.

You’ll be responsible for building the processes, tools, and reporting infrastructure that keep every team—sales, product, partnerships, and leadership—aligned and executing at peak speed. This is a role for someone who thrives on solving hard problems, building from zero, and wearing multiple hats. Your responsibilities will evolve quickly as the business does: expect to move across diverse tasks and own ambiguous, high-leverage projects end-to-end.

You will work directly with the founding team to design and build the future of the financial system. We pride ourselves on having a culture that rewards impact and success generously. We’re focused first and foremost on empowering each other to do our best work, today and into the future. You'll be on a team that works incredibly hard and seeks other exceptional people excited to do the same.

• Understand the core problems Hadrius solves, our ICP, our value proposition, the Hadrius platform, pricing structure, and roadmap
• Learn our existing tools, systems, and workflows across all teams

• Deliver a first set of quick-win improvements to remove obvious operational bottlenecks
  
  

First Month

• Stand up dashboards and reporting to give leadership real-time visibility into metrics across revenue, product, and operations
• Create and document scalable processes for at least 2 core functions (e.g., recruiting, onboarding, renewals)
• Own internal meeting cadences and ensure cross-functional alignment
• Create and own the operating model for the business and identify 3-5 high-leverage projects to close the gap between model and reality to execute over the next quarter
  
  

First 3 Months & Beyond

• Reduced friction across at least 5 critical workflows, improving speed or accuracy measurably
• Built a scalable operating system for the company that can support 2–3x headcount without breaking
• Owned and improved company OKR process, ensuring all teams are hitting goals
• Clear roadmap to operational excellence across finance, sales ops, GTM ops, and internal tooling
• Successfully executed 3-5 of the high-leverage projects identified in your first month, updating the business’s operating model accordingly, and setup to continue regular cadence of “high-leverage projects identified to projects completed”
