Strategic Operations Leader

Location: San Francisco

We are open to a variety of seniority levels, but this role will sit on the leadership team

Who We Are:

At Vizcom, we’re reimagining how physical products are designed by fusing AI with human creativity to help designers move from sketch to reality at lightning speed. We’re looking for a Product Designer who obsesses over visual craft and interaction details, but also thrives on breaking new ground. This role will shape the future of our AI-powered sketching and collaboration tools, building experiences that feel as natural as drawing and as powerful as imagining something into existence. You’ll join a small, fast-moving team that values initiative, experimentation, and an eye for beauty.

The Role:

We are searching for a highly strategic, analytically minded operator to work directly alongside our CEO and senior leadership team. This person will be a key partner in shaping business strategy, improving operational execution, and leading cross-functional initiatives that move the company forward. The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys building structure from scratch, and has experience scaling a high-growth startup—especially through rapid headcount expansion, evolving processes, and financial discipline.

This role may sit at a variety of seniority levels (Head of Operations or VP of Strategic Operations) depending on candidate experience. Over time, this individual may assume responsibility for portions of Finance, FP&A, Business Operations, and strategic planning.

You’ll help shape the operational backbone of a rapidly scaling company while working side-by-side with a visionary founder. This is a rare opportunity to step into a high-impact seat with visibility across the entire organization.

How You’ll Do It:

• Serve as a strategic thought partner to the CEO, helping evaluate priorities, identify operational gaps, and drive alignment across teams
• Lead cross-functional initiatives that accelerate business performance—GTM optimization, resource planning, org design, OKR development, and operational cadence
• Partner closely with Finance on budget planning, forecasting, scenario modeling, and unit economics
• Build and refine scalable systems, processes, and workflows across the company
• Develop dashboards, performance metrics, and decision frameworks that help leadership allocate resources effectively
• Own special projects that require structured problem solving, cross-functional leadership, and high-context decision-making
• Support the CEO in preparing materials for board meetings, fundraising, strategic planning, and partner communications
• Identify operational risks, create mitigation plans, and ensure teams stay focused on highest-impact work
  
  

What You’ll Bring:

• 5–10 years of experience in strategic operations, business operations, FP&A, management consulting, finance, or a similar analytical/strategic role.
• Experience in a high-growth startup (Series A–C ideal), with exposure to scaling teams, implementing processes, and driving operational discipline
• Strong understanding of financial modeling, budgeting, forecasting, SaaS metrics, and business performance analysis
• Comfortable partnering directly with founders and executives; able to influence without authority
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex information into clear, actionable insights
• A builder mindset—excited to create structure, define processes, and improve systems in an environment where not everything is in place yet
• High bias toward action, ownership, and follow-through
• Comfort with ambiguity and context-switching; thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment
• Bonus: experience with AI, enterprise SaaS, product-led growth, or working in design- or engineering-centric organizations
