Operations Manager

We are an early-stage startup on a mission to change the way the world builds hardware.

Hardware inventions are key to unlock the future humanity envisions: from tackling climate change, to developing autonomous transportation, augmented reality, precision medicine, space travel, and much more.

Yet today, designing an electronic circuit board is an extremely manual, long and tedious process. At Circuit Mind we are on a mission to solve this problem.

We have the backing of world-class VC investors and we are building a tight-knit team of highly skilled people who together collaborate to solve hard problems that no one has ever solved before, pushing beyond what is currently thought to be possible.

✏️ The Role

We are in search of a highly organised, proactive, and resourceful Operations Manager with a proven track record of at least 3 years in relevant roles. In this individual contributor role, you will take ownership of responsibilities across multiple company functions such as hiring, accounting, sales & marketing ops, legal, people operations, general admin.

You’ll be collaborating on a day-to-day basis with our CEO Tomide and our CTO Basilio. Then the sky is your limit: the more you show you can deal with, the bigger responsibilities you will take over time.

Responsibilities

These are the company functions you’ll be working on:

1. Hiring[sample tasks: • overseeing candidate sourcing • managing an internal team of head hunters • screening interviews]
2. Accounting[sample tasks: • handling R&D tax credits and payroll payments • bookkeeping assistance]
3. Sales and Marketing[sample tasks: • trade show logistics • customer lead generation ops]
4. Legal[sample tasks: • managing EMI options and shares • reviewing and adapting legal documents: NDAs, subscription agreements, employment contracts, and offer letters • facilitating overseas employment via third-party agencies]
5. People and Admin[sample tasks: • organizing company socials and company retreats • employee onboarding and offboarding]

The long-term evolution of the role will be to either develop more in-depth into some of these business functions or to keep working across all of them as part of a bigger team.
